IGN Pro League 4 (Vegas) - Page 13 - Video Games

and making vikings to go around and clear OLs is obv v smart. i dunno why more terrans dont do that.

infestor/ling is very strong, but against a player with strong multi-tasking and drop harass... you're gonna have a bad time.

So he should go mutas? Or should he two base roach?

well if you can't play as well in long games, you should try to play a short game, no?

that's the case in a vacuum but there's certainly value in trying to play the best at their own game.

well on a good day he can beat him in a long game, as he beat bomber 2-0 who is pretty close in skills.

that game he got molested though (and lost too much to banshees)

Meh Bomber's A+ game isn't close to MMA's.

No zerg would be able to beat MMA if he plays as good as he did in Game 1. I can't imagine my self ever picking up a single game vs him if he played like that.

2nd game was a clear build order loss. Stephano has to feel really ****ty for picking a map without preparing a balanced build order specially when MMA is known to bring the most crisp b/o in pro-gaming.

Been watching this in the background all day. Excellent stream imo. While MLG is more entertaining, they have figured their **** out better than MLG.

impressive by nestea to even make a game of that, after that beginning, probably would have lost if he went infestors like most do on that map, I think.

in the last 2 weeks i have not seen any T in any tournament not pick that map (if it's in the pool) after losing a game to a Z

they all go super aggressive 2 base pushes because all they need to do is keep Z to 2 bases... even if they lose a ton of army in the process the T 3rd is so easy to hold so they can take it with a much smaller army

ok ill stop bitching about that horribad map now
