Sorry for double post but day #2 is running now.
oGs.MC vs ieS.Ciara
I'm with Ciara on this one, he's danish <3
bleh... cheese >.> Damn Huk vs HasuObs finished quickly.
He didnt cheese o_oOriginally Posted by CommanderJinn
Cheese is when you pull an all in to win, HasuObs just placed a proxy pylon in Huk's base that he didnt see.
So sad to watch it. :(
I got in at game 3 and it was a crap game. Who thought Huk would be so careless?
No clue.. He's usually kicking ass in PvP ._.
Wow! Great baneling bust!
Been a while since i saw a successful baneling bust.
That was really poor blocking of the bunker rush by Z. Considering that almost all TvZ's start with bunker rushes, you think he would be able to defend it.
MorroW faked a second expansion. I think he's going aggressive.
EDIT: Yeah. Another baneling bust.
SO THE ONLY WAY MORROW CAN WIN IS WITH BANELING BUSTS?!
TL site down or is it just me? o.o
edit: eh tried to load it a few more times, got server busy error or something, so guess just a ton of people trying to get on the site.
They're overloaded with people. Let things simmer for a bit.
oh its working now, but i guess TSL is over for today :( dam
I can't even imagine how anyone would remotely think Ciara could have won.
LEAVE MORROW ALONE.
Crevasse has a super wide ramp that needs to be blocked by three Barracks, Baneling busts are going to be super effective there. Game 2, Morrow was super behind after losing so much to that godly bunker rush. That marine placement was broken. Baneling bust was the only practical way to get back into an even game. I didn't catch game 1 =[ but Tal'Darim Altar has no ramp, and a wide choke so Baneling busts are super effective there as well. Plus the GSL maps are so big that a Terran counterattack isn't practical if they hold off the Banelings unlike on some Blizzard maps like Xel'Naga Caverns.
An effective simcity for Terran is difficult because you need space to allow unit pathing out of production, but still room for your Marines to shoot.
So the issue is with the maps? I knew bigger maps and chokes were always better for Z, but not to the point where it just made every TvZ a boring bling fest. :(
From what I heard, Jinro went Command Center first in game one as well, which means he had a lot less units to defend this type of thing.
To stop a Baneling Bust, you need a strong wall off with units behind it and when the Baneling numbers get particularly high, you need Seige Tanks. Going early Command Center (14CC, 1Rax CC, 2Rax CC) delays Seige tech so considerably, especially on a one gas expo, that most players opt to just skip Factory tech altogether unless they're explicitly playing Mech, and go straight to MMM which was what Jinro was trying to do. I believe Siege Tanks get transitioned into when the natural has its gasses up, but since Crevasse's in-base has only one gas, it's more difficult to transition into tanks, but Jinro didn't even get that far. He was just getting his Medivacs out.
I think it comes down to a slight build order loss currently combined with the map, and Terrans need to learn to defend against these high economy Baneling busts again on these wide ramps and chokes. This style is only recently coming into prominence with July's recent games in the GSL, but I don't believe I've seen any other examples of it.
5 bucks on Nony.
EDIT: Actually, if he's playing MC I don't know who to root for. >__>
MC vs WhiteRa will be rough with the delay since PvP is so micro oriented, and that delay will heavily favour WhiteRa. I think the winner of that has a strong chance against Tyler though, MC more than WhiteRa, but you never know with NoNy. He should destroy ThorZaIN though.
I cannot pineappleing wait to see TLO vs NaDa.

Idra VS crunch in the first match.
Idra said:
"Q: Your first round opponent is a relatively unknown player - Cruncher. What are your thoughts about him?
A:I'm approaching the match as if it were a walkover.
Q: Are you confident you can beat him? Do you expect him to do any risky strategies against you?
A:Yes, he's going to 4 gate all-in both games unless he decides to be clever and make voidrays or DTs.
"
Oh you idra.
Inb4 idra loses and rages
God, I am going to be so disappointed if IdrA loses that game. GoOdy is such a hero. Game 1 was amazing by both players. Wish I could have seen mvp vs Adelscott and qxc vs Genius live. Can't wait for VODs.
