SC2 E-Sports Thread

Foxer said he didn't control group small numbers of marines, just microed them as the banelings approached. i can't imagine he could have done it for speedlings given how marines tend to move together and speedlings are a lot faster than banelings

plus you want marines grouped up when fighting speedlings because there is less surface area for the lings to hit, which makes it perfect for the banelings to roll in

[Maguspk]

Watch the games, Fauxer never gets surrounded even against large numbers of speedlings.

[GRT]

i am, game 2, his marines were almost surrounded by lings that didn't even get the speed upgrade

soon as the lings got speed, his marines were getting picked off even without a perfect surround, and he only held off by bringing out all his expansion scvs

which is why i don't get how Kyrix wouldn't just use lings, he didn't get banelings at the start of that game 2 mainly because he didn't have time to morph them, yet even after he busted down the front door later on in that game and killed all the leftover marines, he still chose to morph about a dozen new slings into blings OUTSIDE Foxer's base instead of just rush them in as speedlings

i think Kyrix just need to get rid of that "I HAS ZERGLINGS I MAKE BANELINGS" mindset and he would do a lot better

[altwight]

kyrix did a wannabe FD baneling drop. of course if you see 2 or 3 overlords rolling in with your army it's obviously baneling drop. that's why you roll in with 3 or 4 empty overlords also.

fake boxer's marine micro was amazing.

the reason he was stream lining his marines to the middle of the map was because he had complete map control at that moment, any unit kyrix had needed to be defending.

Is there anyway to tell how many people are streaming the GSL? If boxers earlier match got 700k viewers I want to see how crazy boxer vs nada will be.

[altwight]

was watching fake boxer's hands after their match up and he was shaking pretty bad. im sure his nerves were so shot considering it brought tears to his eyes. so crazy

edit: er i guess that's a spoiler

I love that he won even with the cheese, fucking cheesing in major tournaments.

[GRT]

you know, as awesome as that first match is skill-wise, TvT just sux for spectating

[GRT]

nvm, i failed to account for the Emperor

Personal preference, I find ZvZ to be the worst match to watch. Although I think I enjoy PvP more than TvT. My stream crashed right as Boxer moved behind the mineral line -.-

[GRT]

better spoiler that lol

what a masterful move though, damn, sung-su level tactician

[Kurp]

If you're having trouble with the stream, you can try this restream: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/user...?user=Ameba-AZ

It's been mostly lagless so far and I'm pretty sure it's the HQ version.

[Falaras]

Holy shit, banshees.

so someone catch me up a little as i've missed most of the RO32/RO16, i know how Foxer is doing and FD is out and bla bla bla,but how about some toss players, of all the matches i've walked in on while my roommates were watching it's always a zvz/tvz/tvt, i don't think ive seen a single toss game which always throws me because i know in S1 it was mostly toss players that entered, i'm not sure about this season though.

my life for aiur!

No toss in the RO4, and toss overall didn't do so well in this GSL, with NEXGenius being the only one to make it to the RO8 and losing to HopeTorture.

[altwight]

zerg needs to take it again.

[Thunder]

If one of those terrans don't take it I'll be extremely disappointed lol

And if Foxer takes it I'll be disappointed too because he'd have to beat boxer
