great games today, disappointed in leta's late game g1 performance, but otherwise, quite good.On November 30 2018 00:43 LG)Sabbath wrote:Show nested quote +On November 29 2018 19:40 KamMoye wrote:On November 29 2018 19:34 razorsuKe wrote:On November 29 2018 19:33 KamMoye wrote: What the hell?

Besides, you used to be able to nuke bot right from leta's main, i think thats what he was trying to do. Might of been patched out at one point?

I think maybe with the ghost vision upgrade you might be able to? Anyway you need a lot of tech to do all this just to kill 1 base, seems like too much of a gamble against such a high level opponent, it's dumb unless you have the game 100% won

Though Leta might build a fort out of those soon. I enjoyed the game. Leta and Rain are from different leagues atm anyway.

All you need is a flying building to get vision of the high ground.

I think Leta was trying to do what he did in this game:
https://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/31999_Leta_vs_Pure/vod
drop the ghost in the holes on the cliffs between his main and the expansion. I guess because of how the cannons were positioned maybe Leta couldn't get his ghost in those holes without being shot at by cannon? Either way it's a cool idea but really bad execution haha.

I figured that, and he had a building floating and a ghost ready to launch the nuke, but then he walked a ghost around the length of the map and nuked the entrance to the base. Odd.

Just watched the vods. Awesome game 1 between Leta and Rain. Shame Leta couldn't seal the deal and got rolled by carriers. He did very well with all his harassment to stay in the game. Plus we got to see a nuke. It's didn't do a ton but still cool to see it in a pro game. Game 2 and 3 were rollovers. No more needed to be said.
The TvT between Sharp and Mind was awesome. Kinda like when Sharp was up against Jaehoon he kept coming from behind to win the game. Loved all the game between those 2 great players. So glad we got a great set of TvT games.
|
Sharp played so damn solid! Mind had some really good ideas and really does deserve his alias, but Sharp was better able to get a sene for the playing field as the game developed and Mind made a few mistakes.
Good TvTs.

Those Mind vs Sharp games were exceptional.

I guess the final would be Rain VS Last. And Rain wins again.

What do you mean again? he has never won a KSL (given this is the 2nd one too), also I would not count out SK yet, he has quite unpredictable performance levels, but when he plays his best, he is on par with Last and the other top players. Additionally, I dont think that Sharp is free semi for Rain, Rain is the favorite, even heavy favorite, but definitely its not a free semi for him. And finally even if the final is Rain-Last, these are not the blizzard inv protoss maps, I think its 50/50 who is going to win between them

back in 2014 yeah he is (read the bold part in dazed statement) but there wasn't much competition back then.

Noticing a lot of one-sided 3-0s and man Miso really threw that game on HBR.
