the direct cause of that victory is the constant ling runby. dual sight zerg has such absurd win rate is because theres 2 about same distance main route to opponent base, its (almost) impossible for terran to pressure or zone off both. for us lower leagues terran player, what i do is, i put a bunker next to the outer refinery (the direction ling will come) then put supply depot surrounding it. if the zerg just shift right click run by, he probably cant get anything because of AI control. (some good map to use is tal darim 3rd base, arid plataue 3rd base, metalopolis 3rd base these kind of stretch out 3rd base that have a direct route for zerg to run by and you cant siege up there)

for shattered temple inner 3rd base, i will put a bunker on top of the outer ramp, zerg can never break the rock. these things will work like wonder for us but for those korean pro, their micro and apm is much higher so they can save these 100 minerals.

Added on February 23, 2012, 8:00 pmhaha i also think genius will win. so many factors leaning towards him. MLG, seniority in the team, maturity, his witty playstyle, teammate mindgame and team environment. since its a teamkill.

gomtv stream. need to download gom player

ryung win tvt, then ogs vines (protoss) win 4 str8 game (including mma), slayers puzzle (protoss) came out as ace and win another 3 games. then inca vs puzzle ace match (pvp) -_____________________-

PROTOSS

since mech became my staple tvt build, i cant play marine tank anymore.....its just too weird i dont know how to play it anymore...mech is too good...

Added on February 25, 2012, 10:12 pmi think mech not beginner friendly la......silencesoul last time i saw your game, your tvt marine tank control is quite decent for your level. just macro better to back you up and you can be better.

Added on February 27, 2012, 4:58 pmim happy with MLG. top tier players duking it out...well, the list should go down and we can see parting and oz following tight after. and naniwa took out nestea leenock only to fall against drg.....but mc fell out a bit too early.

the finland assembly thing cant prove shit....not enough top tier players. even before the tournament, its like polt, puma and stephanos' tournament already -_______-

well, zerg is the easiest race to use in the highest level.....the hardest race to use is terran...im talking about code S code A level....not just some grandmaster or ladder thing...

cuz in nestea drg's level, how much a zerg can improve mechanically is limited, its very much coming down into game sense, when to make drone, when to attack etc etc. the amount of macro is just perfect queen larvae, creep spread and expand....

for terran, at mma, mvp, mkp their level, the better your mechanic is, the better the race is.. marine micro itself, can bring you so far......ghost usage, viking harrass, reaper, banshee micro, mech, in my humble opinion, terran's skill cieling is very tall, if you put a robot to play terran perfectly, it will be so much better than a robot playing zerg perfectly.....


but for beginner, of course zerg is harder to use. (im talking about ladder players now) because zerg requires the most mechanic to play the game normally. while terran's mechanic is more forgiving, you can queue up your army, if you forgot to put supply depot or mule, all can be done later and save your arse.....generally, if you are not good in macro, terran has so much convinience to help you! while zerg you can just die outright because you dont have enough larvae.

but for gsl caliber players.......everyone has almost perfect macro, it all come down to, what more can they do in order to be better....

mmA dont play mech

starcraft is all about outresourcing your opponent while staying alive. because in later stage your opponent cannot win you.

and the lost is actually because he is too greedy, cancel off the missile turrents to save up the mineral. he scanned opponent base, thinks that there will be no warp prisms shinenigans so he cancel off the turrents he made half way. but his opponent actually proxied a robo bay and the reaver just come in and rape everything...

14-0, seriously thats so fking sick. and no1 expected Dear to kill him i swear....T________T he.got.luckyyyyy

i've been on full page ladder lost few times....will really slam the keyboard. it happens when i stop for few weeks then once i get back to play, suddenly stuck in 1 match up and blizzard keep match me up -___-

from time to time you will get stuck with different match ups....

Added on April 7, 2012, 7:15 pmmy brief match up feelings ladder climbing from bronze....

when i was in plat and below~ i sucked in tvt alot....because i dont know how to deal with cloak banshee, diamonds just cloak banshee me and i'll die no matter i go 1 rax fe or rush to raven. tvz and tvp as long as you know how to make units, its pretty much terran favored lol just joking but its easier for terran.

then i got stucked in diamond big time...where i struggled in TvZ and TvP late game, TvP MMM will be weaker and weaker, stim and A will not work anymore even given equal or better macro from terran. need ghost and btr stuffs. then zergs just go mass ling unit heavy all the time to have map control into expand + BL. had a hard time finding 'Timing Attacks' because zergs learnt that drone to 60 drone b4 making unit will not work anymore.....but i came on top in all my TvT banshee mirror build micros after all the slugfest trainings in plat. i struggled between TvZ and TvP, different from time to time depending on patches and mood.

then in master is when TvZ became easier because I came to appreciate how disgusting terran can be..i relearn how to marine tank push to not let zerg catch me off guard. learn where and when to siege, how to siege...when terran know how to use strategy and terrain to its favor, tvz will become easier...then TvP i still struggle in late game but i had a few cheesy timing attacks that will prevent that...theres once 1 of my tvp cheesy tactic had 90% win rate in ladder...then TvT i struggle again...but all tvt at this level will proceed to at least 2 base. 2 base is when 1 had distinct advantage in the build order, then use 2 base to finish up opponent. most of the time if opening is even, it will go up to 3 base and it is the real test of skill. so i kinda get 50%~ win rate.
