They played in SRT17 too. Zeus isn't at the same level. Lowest skilled player on both teams.
Regarding cheating, I noticed that Mind turned off his stream when he played Terror in the last SRT and he turned it back on for the rest of his games in the group.

That's also a possibility if you don't want the other person to cheat against you

I don't think Mind cheated, he probably did it to prevent Terror from cheating.
SIck reaver snipe and then Shuttle getting trapped in his third unable to come down and defend his Natural from the Hydras properlly. And in an instant Cola wins.

Mong and Movie left. CJ to strong to lose this.
Hero can beat Movie but gonna be tough for him to get past Mong.
I'm surprised stx didn't send out hero before shuttle. Hero could have forced CJ to send out Mong, giving shuttle the chance to snipe him. I suppose they were hoping that shuttle would get a few kills. Maybe britney has been preparing something specific to snipe mong? Maybe they're worried that someone like cola would beat hero zvz..

They should have sacced Britney and Mini to Cola. One probably could have gotten the win. If Kwanro gets sent out you are gonna have to hope that Britney/Mini wins that too. Really hard for STX to kill both Mong and Movie without having their counter pick.

Well, this is what happens when Terror is your team captain.

Yes that was my point. I didnt mean to imply Mind was cheating.
Really impresive play from Cola. Baiting mini in to wasting his storms by attacking with only small groups of Hydras and spliting really nicely everytime.

seems likely Cola would spot it and it would be undefendable if he did. Cola had pretty good scouting around the map.

cola would have found it and killed it. and anyways, even if he builds a nexus and some cannons, he can't get probes out to make it worth the money. I guess it might have worked, but at this level normally the zerg will find it.

isn't this mong's worst match up though? This makes no sense to me, cause if britney wins (admittedly unlikely) then hero could quite possibly win the whole thing for stx.

It just seems like this is CJ's worst chance of winning. Which isn't to say they won't still win, cause I'd still say Mong is the favourite, but it seems like sending movie in a pvp is a better chance than sending mong to tvp.

hero is super good at zvp. I don't know what shape movie is in, but it would be an upset i think for movie to beat hero. Hero has been shakey on zvz in the past, i would send kwanro, but in the end hero will need to beat both.
On November 05 2013 23:56 kerpal wrote: missed the end, but wow, well done hero. I hope this is a taste of things to come as far as zvt is concerned.
I did that mistake once
I think that was the best I've ever seen hero zvt. His muta-ling defence was exactly like the kind of play that wins killer games, and the counter attack was pure gold. Is it his play against mech that lets him down? Cause I've seen him flounder in the face of a mech switch more than once, but it's not as if he's known for gaining a midgame advantage then losing it, he's always just been straight up bad at all areas of zvt (except muta harass), with occasional moments of competence where he wins games.

twitch.tv/snipealot3 usually has the VODs
yup sonic cast is there. vods will probably be available on yt/in the small vod thread tomorrow along with available fpvs (not too much in today games)

Also, it would be helpful if you could skip ahead in the vod. No real reason to watch sonic's ads or just blank screens.
If I remember correctly, a lot of people already watched this live (including me). Watching non-live content lost its appeal to me with all the flood of live content in sc2 (and in Bw thanks to snipealots afreeca restreams!).
