I have a meeting 1.15 into the broadcast, trying to figure out if I want the introductions to drag so I can watch the first games or the introductions to be quick so I can watch potential deciding games D:

Sorry for the off-topic. Does anyone have problems with skype connection? Or is it specific for Russia / for my town?
Skype is fucking up, Microsoft must be doing something. Even though it says problem you can still type to people. I am sending and receiving messages to multiple people.

Just as you said. Day 1 proleague format, day 2 all kill, day 3 (if needed) proleague format.

Yeah, so far KT's results under him overall in all leagues have been less than stellar. But I don't know if we can pin the blame on him. I miss the old KT head coach.

Exactly! I might fake a blink all-in and then go for a quick third but then the Terran is like "fuck that I'm pushing" and then im dead

It was a brilliantly tailored build. You think it's a regular gate expand based on nexus timing? Nope, 2 oracles. You think it's a gateway timing followup? Nope, fast third. You think that was the mindgame? You wanna move out and pressure it? How about a 10 gate blink all in as you salvaged your bunkers and split up your army to drop.

Exactly, now the games that could go either way just put huge pressure on KT.
Maru Rogue sOs can all win, even Cure beating Super wouldn't be a surprise. Which if that happens just means Maru sOs or Rogue need to win 1 of the 3 and they take this and go into tomorrows all kill as huge favorites.

To be fair it is usual to have the meta shifted for each league so you can play mindgames even if you are in lower league The best working mind game across leagues is 1 colossus into storm IMO :-)
Anyway - good positions for TvP Not sure if Cure is godlike dropping monster now...

sup bitch
I did not say it would not work, it tells a lot about Cure's shape that it did work given he scouted as well. But it should not work
if Choa came up to me and said, if you wanna be with me you have to cheer for Maru, I'd become his biggest fanboy in a heartbeat. Cheer for him forever, shed a tear every time he loses, cry the tears of happiness every time 2 rax is dropped. His opponents typing gg would be the highlight of the day. In my eyes he'd be infallible. Whatever decision he makes is what makes his so wonderful, pure and just. Deep in my heart I feel that some day the long lost son will become a man and return back home. Here's to another 10k of dreaming of Choa and anti-cheering for Maru.

It's not at all, I guarantee you that. You wouldn't scout the gold base with this, you would rally the hallucination straight to his base to get the scout as fast as possible - you just opened 1gate nexus, you need to know asap.

Well he was outplayed in the thinking process. The positioning of sOs and the blink before the fight created a fear in Zest's head that he will move his stalkers and colossi in the main and demolish his mineral line. So he walked the ramp and then he was timewarped in the worst position possible. sOs played again like a true villain with the proper genius plan. There was no Mr. Bond who would make the villain to talk and then to stop him

That's why he took a third, yes makes a lot of sense
The third did not make sense at all, he was at 44 probes. ONE probe was mining at the third...
Have you NEVER seen a PvP? That's how you take third bases in the matchup. You make the nexus and only start saturating it if the opponent expands as well, otherwise you die.
Seriously stop shitting on Zest already, you know absolutely nothing about PvP.

actually you build units and prevent the other player of killing you with an allin?
ARe you even serious? I dont know if you are trolling or have 0 understanding of PvP. Zest holds that attack if he is in position, he had enough units. But colossi in front and timewarped zealots on a ramp can loose you that game
Zest was up in supply, larger army, exactly the same number of colo/archon, and third base done. (No he wasn't being greedy. He did not even try to make probes, knowing SoS was still on 2 bases.
SoS just outmaneuvered him for a split second there as he was going up and down a ramp. People who criticised Zest's play up until that point had no idea.

Just read the posts lol :D Zest got caught on his ramp with all his zealots and colo on it got timed warped and lost the fight.
Thanks!
The posts were all like "sOs'd" or "KT sucks"
Olli's post are really the only relevant ones to a pvp game.
Haha, yeah I was gonna suggest just read what DLO was saying to know what happened without bias
Well, generally I'll be biased when talking about Zest, but this is all just basic PvP. There's no bias to understanding the dynamic of 2 vs 3 base play. One player is all in, the other defends. The fight decides the game.

Zest did not introduce probe production for third base, situation was more even for time. sOs has advantage as long as Zest does not make probe because he makes more money with gold mineral. And Zest cannot introduce probe production because sOs has more money to make more unit with gold mineral.
Even if Zest is able to introduce probe without dying, sOs would be able to create third base easily with gold base mineral giving a buffer in income disparity while third base is building.

exactly that's why he also went for colo follow up. Both blink stalkers and colo can easily went up the cliff of Zest base and force him for that awkward positioning on his ramp and cast TimeWarp.

I meant he skiped the first one. Most people just go for double armory. It was probably cause he was worried about what life was doing so he played it safe

Maru's hold vs the early roach-ling pressure was so good, looked flawless there. Many many players would've just pulled back and have the third denied for a minute or two longer.

has Life fucking won 4 GSL's?
Mvp won 3 starleague titles (it's a more appropriate term in the days when we have 2 of them and GSL may be going through its last season). 2011 GSL World Championship wasn't a Korean starleague.

Classic fan overreaction. GumBa was sure INno would get trashed by Zest too. I'm positive Life will make a good showing at Blizzcon.
Screw Blizzcon. I'm sure KT is paying him a big chunk of money to do one job (being good at PL) and he is failing at it.
But let's not blame it all on Life. KT sucked today and before, and I'm not saying this as an angry fan. (OK maybe a little bit angry that they showed kinda unprepared)
I agree all KT players looked rather unprepared, at least not prepared enough for such an important match. Not tailored strats, unusual shakiness... KT coaches probably have a big responsibility for that loss.

It's been a while since I have seen long, good macro games, trading, back and forth fights and the winner winning by small advantages he gains over lots of better engagements, harassments etc.
I miss these sort of games
Oh I just saw the first VOD (Flash vs Trap). While I like that a player can come back as Trap did, the way Flash dominated the game it shouldn't have been lost. Guess a bunker at 3rd and 4th with 2 marines in it would have don the trick against the DT harass... I guess. Sad to see him lose because of 10% of the game when he dominated the other 90%.
