Okay okay, so I was waaaaay off with my 60+ statement...but 28 obs killed though, still a ton. Wonder how many he still had alive as well.

Also yea, meant over the course of the game. Although having like ~6 obs out at one point wouldn't be that bad. So much vision. Especially since Terrans now a day pretty much have to rely on multi pronged attacks to win.

I actually remember that game, everyone thought it was over for Taeja when the game went past 20 minutes and then he somehow pulled it off. Yeah, that makes sense, Taeja and Polt are crazy with how many observers can they snipe.

Just watched Maru vs Zest. You know the matchup is in a stupid place when it seems all the best Terrans in the world have decided the only reasonable response to a fast third by Protoss is 2base 5rax SCV pull all-in.

To be fair, Zest was controlling the map very well and Maru couldn't scout at all. Didn't his scan see Blink getting researched so he started to heavily go into defensive mode yet Zest just expanded instead. Although that brings up another point, maybe terran need a better scouting unit because once a stalker is out on the map reapers are basically useless and if you scan too much you fall too far behind in economy.

When Zest threw down his Nexus he moved out with a stalker and a sentry. It fooled Maru into thinking a gateway attack was going to happen. Maru didn't really over react he just threw down a bunker himself so it only cost him 25 minerals.

Stalkers don't really counter reapers too much. Reapers are too fast so you just avoid the Stalker. The issue is sometimes the Reaper will die to the Stalker + MSC prior to spotting any tech. When that happens it sucks.

Proleague casting is usually on point, but Wolf sounded like an idiot that game - "The mech player is behind on supply/bases, he is losing!"

Looks like MsC vision, widow mine buff and hydra buff are going through

Seems like Phoenix - Colossus will be absolutely necessary every PvZ, sigh. Lategame tech swiches are becoming even worse. If they see a third base, they can drop down both Spire and Hydra den and just make whatever the protoss can't counter.

Not sure if Hearthstone is flash in the pan or not but its a joke 8 players at SeatStory will compete for the same prize as 16 sc2 players. Isn't a shock all the elite (cough) are all ex wanna-be / never-were esports players. Hopefully RNGesus is on your side so you can collect some free money.

After the patch in a few days want to grind some games out Zap? I'd really like to see if playing a BioMine style similar to TvZ is actually viable.
