Should be a solid day of Ksl. Theee opening rounds can be shit quality but they also give us a fun chance to see rare players who don’t play in every tournament or in asl. Looking forward to seeing how far larva can go, if he will be deep in the tour and maybe movie can rekindle some of his former career glory. Jaehoon is jaehoon and I don’t know him well enough to predict how he’ll do. wgm.sharp has put in the practice hours but definitely could be sniped by movie or anyone here. Rooting for movie he has the potential to make it far if he plays like he used to in his glory run at kespa days.
|
hope Sharp will do the pest control
|
I hope Larva has regained his previous form again. The guy was arguably top 3 Zerg at one point making it to the final four of an ASL. Jahoon is looking good on stream and kcm from the games I've watched. Look out for him too.
I'm predicting Larva and Jahoon to be our winners tonight.
|
Is Larva going to break his offline curse today? Is Tasteless finally going to iron his shirt?
|
Is Tastosis casting this still? I thought there were at Blizzcon or something.
Edit: Gclef and Rapid casting tonight. Good to have people to cover Tastosis when needed.
|
Why they don't let Wolf casting? He is so good at casting BW.
|
"Chopsticks skills" lol :D

Did Sharp shoot his own Valk with the Goliaths?
|
|
Maybe that should've been a plague there in the middle, unless it wasn't done yet
|
i really miss the audience microphones... it feels so sterile and lifeless. I much prefer the ASL production
|
damn larva is good. that break was good for him i guess
|
mah boy larva plays flawless zerg. FLAWLESS.

Larva's mutas are the luckiest mutas ever. Catches 2 dropships, flies into main, ctaches an SV just when it pops.

Such a crazy moment. Larva was all over Sharp the whole time before that huge doom drop. That did so much damage holy shit.
|
ZvT is brutal you really can't afford to let 4 dropships in your base.

Didn't macro. His third was incredibly late and while he cut off all the army from a 5 rax, which is good, he didn't put any damage on Sharp's eco. I think he deemed himself too far ahead and went hard into tech. Ultra, defiler and upgrades on three bases with the third one being really late? Yeah you have to be very far ahead to do that and Larva just wasn't. Sharp's eco was kicking ass the entire time.
Then the drop happened, which not only killed all tech but also interupted the upgrades at a crucial moment. Sharp was 3-2 at that point. Ultras just don't do anything when 1-1 against 3-2 M&M and 8 vessels.
|
lol that drop was brilliant. After the first 2 dropships die it was almost anti-meta to send 5 more and it paid off. Awesome move by sharp, quite a poker play.

he also lost his tech building before upgrades finish

It was a good moment to drop, when larvae was moving up his army to deny Sharp's third.
|
|
|
did sharp get speed upgrade for his vults? i think he did and that paid off big time

Not sure why some people have written off sharp to be honest.

i think his plan was to delay sharp a lot with 12+ zerglings that he sent into his base while rushing into hive tech. However the lings did 0 damage since sharp had 4 vults with good micro and from there all sharp needed is a well-timed push
|
Loved that little scout trick with Larvas drone. Little things like that make me happy to see in games.
|
This time larvae isn't underestimating sharp and has loads of drop defence.
|
very nice controlled game from larva
|
I feel like Larva is on a clock right now. Sharp is getting so ahead right now. Getting up to four bases.
|
|
hoping for a queen game or ultimate muta switch
|
Looks dire for Larva, but he's become notable because of his play vs mech switch ;o
|
ahaha, Korean casters were crazy for that daebak
|
Ahahahaha traitor mines killing a mineral field of scvs.
|
|
Yeesh the quality of gameplay in this series is... not good. Especially compared to EffOrt vs Last.
|
Sick mine micro from larva all over the map.
|
no point having that many bases if you don't have the micro to defend, sharp
|
thats the larva we all know and love
|
|
I get the feeling this is a big reason Terrans like to stay SK a lot of the time.
|
Larva smashing late mech like it was nothing. Glad we got a game 5.
|
Circuit Breakers is a bad map for a mech transition. Too many paths to attack from. Sharp never really got that many tanks. At one point Sharp had 6 bases to larva's 4 but he just couldn't defend them all. Sharp never got to the point that could be called mech.
|
Oh look, triple expand into mass SCV is not actually an optimal strategy.
|

awesome play from larva
|
Dominant late game by Larva
|
That game reminded me of a game a few years ago on CB between Flash and Larva where Flash had a huge bank but got owned by non-stop late game aggression.
|
sharp is sweating!
gogo Larva! Focus!

That TvZ was one of the best I've seen in a long long time. Godamn. Sharp's map vision with just an insane number of mines and buildings and then Larva with the mine drags and muta switch. Un. Real.

Yeah, Sharp expanded a bit too much with the switch. Either go for 4 bases then switch and then expand more or go for many expands, stay on SK for a while and then switch. You can't defend 6 bases while you are switching to mech and don't have the numbers. Larva struck at the right moment and the game slowly snowballed out of Sharp's control.
|
I guess Sharp was trying to take that many bases at the same time by pumping out an obscene amount of vultures, and spider mining the entire map, which would explain why he had so few tanks. But the mine drags after mine drags happened.
|
hm... i dont know much about tvz on benzene, is this map heavy T-favored?
|
Suprisingly, I don't think it is, despite mineral fields facing map edge and some chokepoints that can defend 2 bases at the same time.
|
Benzene is such a giant map
|
Aaahhh, that defence matrix on the 8 hp valkyrie.
|
Sharp really hates Overlords. He's sniping them all over the map
|
sharp vs larva is such a fantastic appetizer for the main dish --> jaehoon vs movie (lol)

Huh, this is funny. Sharp went from a mech transition, then switched back to SK.
|
|
ok, sharp's ability to control multiple groups of units around the map makes me feel not so bad about my games.
|
Sharp looking a little dull there
|

God dammit my internet cut out mid game. God damn aussie intenet.

No, it was their smaller cousins the koala that probably did it. Drop bears are usually in the bush lands. Rarely you'll see one in the city.

Never forget movie is /was an osl finalist. And once did a pl all kill. The Bermuda Triangle.. X factor though.

Ok Kim Jae Hoon is now Bermuda for me since he's such a good sport about it.

movie is not looking good.

Loving the Dragoon micro from Jahoon this game. Definitely giving him the edge in this series so far. Rapids Texan accent was awesome by the way.

I tried my best but i am so uninvolved in pvp that i really can't watch this series.

Damn, I was wrong there. I saw that Jahoon Reaver just waltz in with a shuttle with a bunch on enemy goons right next to him doing nothing. I thought Movie was just tiled after seeing that. Then he wins with a pincer attack even though he had like 4 goons just smacking a pylon and not fighting in the main battle.

That was a multi-tasking disaster on both sides...

What a disappointing finisher to the series
|
HAHAHA just saw the 5th game of Larva vs Sharp. BM hatch what a baller!
|
YESSSSS THE HOON IS BACK!!!
|
Some really great TvZ today!
The PvP felt uninspired and there were to many big basic mistakes on either side for me to get really excited, but some nice plays as well.
Really nice to see Jaehoon back in action though! Looking forward to the PvZ against Larva in the winners match!
|
Insane manner pylon getting 6 probes in the first game
|
jesus Movie why would you load a full health reaver into a red health shuttle in that situation
also Jaehoon has really become a handsome guy

Yes Wolf is my favourite besides tastosis Its funny though, rapid is much better when not with artosis.

I like that Jaehoon's back! He has some really sexy aggressive plays, like engaging full-heartedly in those early dragoon skirmishes with nice micro, etc.
And then he just forgets whole control groups in big battles. Get it together, you can do it!

Larva vs Sharp was really entertaining. Sharp's TvZ has always been one of his worst matchups imo but his control in some of those games was pretty decent. He was fantastic early to mid on CB against Larva, and he even had a good chance for a bust, but didn't take it. Anyways, going into mech against Larva of all Zergs on CB is suicidal. I think he should've stuck to SK Terran or went biomech, adding in more tanks or something instead of a full switch.
The doom drop on FS was fantastic, and Sharp's vulture micro on Eddy was great too. He really impressed me this series, even if he still lost. Hope he gets another chance at Larva in this round or the next!
