Light losing 2 TvZs and winning a TvP to not get out feels like some sort of bizarro world, but good for Larva

Group A wasn't that great but if you are like me and really missed BW then it was serviceable

Group B had some really odd stuff going on and I wasn't feeling that much but y'all do need to check the final game
I thought Stork was dead for real, if I go back over the VOD I'll probably catch exactly where it turned, but it was still crazy to me that he pulled that off

Someone tell me how Stork won g5. That was some vintage 2010 Stork, holy poo poo. That push breaking was immaculate after he lost those first two bases.

It was a great comeback. Stasis + psi storm were used just right. The Terran tank army was also sacrificed to get that Nexus, and I guess it wasn't worth it.

Group C Final Game

That was pretty much the most TvT ever. As someone who likes TvT I relaly enjoyed it. Intense . I do think that Rush probably could have won it but like the castors said, it's REALLY hard to gauge how far ahead you are in TvT

Man, those super late game TvTs are so exhausting to watch.

I don't even want to know how exhausting it is to maintain 300 APM over 45 minutes.

I loved the initiative shown with those doom drops. Mind is lucky to have made it out of there. And what a crazy siege line.

TvT is the best matchup because it's a full on WAR. You almost never see the entire map being taken up like that, nor nearly the entire tech tree being put to good use. It's one hell of a slugfest.

Out of all the theory-crafted "if pros used this it would actually be useful" that are out there, I've always thought D-Web had the most potential. I will lol forever if in 2017 it actually becomes part of the meta
It was an odd serious of counters that led us there, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else gives it a shot at some point

EDIT: In Group F, FBH showed that even after all the time away he's back in classic form and got wrecked by Protoss as usual. I respect that he was going a modified Deep Six but I have no idea why he was trying to contest the nat low ground so much

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
It looks like Disruption Web is almost useful, but just costs a little too much mana from a unit with no other purpose in the matchup.

Maybe if you shoot down enough science vessels while you're at it, that could be worth the cost of the Corsairs?

I would love a super minor balance patch that just made some of the unusable/fringe poo poo fractionally better just to see how much it would shake up the meta

If arbiters didn't already do disruption web but arguably better, it'd probably be used more.

Yeah, I wonder if even a small UI fix would make them more viable, because it almost seems like even 400APM isn't enough to individually select every tiny ghost or corsair and use an ability while doing everything else at the same time.

Anyway, it was a really cool game as were Mong's eyebrows.

Dweb costs like 125 energy if you have a fleet beacon there's no reason not to just build carriers. Unless you're making a statement against the guy that tried to build ghosts!

I forgot about that -- you need a fleet beacon in order to buy the upgrade. And given that corsairs are used most against zerg and carriers aren't really useful in that match-up no wonder dweb isn't used much at all.

He scouted fleet beacon, so the ghosts were anticipating carriers.

Since it all got noticed late it's really hard to say the exact order of things without replay, but Ample was rallying the ghosts to his front door and I was able to hear a ghost shot being fired a fair bit before the ASL observer caught what was going on, so I suspect that Ample scanned the stargate tech going up at some point, threw down the covert ops (Lockdown can work against arbiters too I suppose,so not sure how far along his tech path Rain was), Rain saw the ghosts at the front door and while bailing out on carriers still decided to make the Beacon tech still work for him
