[Covereths]

[Monsterous]

:O
Thats the spirit!
Except the im falling part. Thats both wrong and a LIE.

 

[Covereths]

well we will notice but if you might be right i got the perfect excuse xP trying to learn protoss right now ^^ so im not the best with them yet but i hope its good enough to beat ya ^^

 

[BANANAMAN]

All games up until now.

As Siretu said (thanks for the writeups btw) we replayed Kulas and Vest dropped again. I'm getting slightly depressed.


PS: I want to add something to Siretu's review of the Kulas games:

Spoiler

At the time my death army (TM by Day[9]) overwhelmed his roach/muta/ling I managed to take down 3 of his expansions and moved onto the last one while my loyal engineers taped together new thors and marines. Basically all his base were belong to me. In Sir's report it sounded a bit like I was about to get mauled when I was actually ahead in income and food, while behind in army count.

We couldn't determine a definite victor, although I considered myself ahead (and the spectators thought me slightly in the lead, too). Vestras demanded a rematch and I didn't want to let it come to a judge's decision. That wouldn't be very satisfying for the both of us.

Same goes for the second match. I quickly expanded twice in a row and with so many MULES and early SCVs it allowed me to stay slightly ahead in income for a long time even without efficient harrassment. The reapers were killed before they could make dead people. Damn waste of money. The medivac with the tank flew right into unfriendly skies and all dudes got killed by roaches before they could strap in again.

In the following battle I would have given my kingdom for a few force fields. These damn banelings just LOVE blowin' things up and I ran out of marines - the mutas hit the rest of my army hard, but I was still ahead in food.

It was way past time I dispensed some indiscriminate justice when he dropped. My guess is that a thor hurled some thunder bolts at a above-ground power line and disconnected Vestras.. or maybe it was a Zergling.. I'm sure it was a bad zergling..

Anyway this series seems to know no end. Whatever I do they keep bringing me back in another game.

I have hidden 9 references to Sc2 Terran unit quotes in that spoiler. Kudos to whoever finds them

Marauder,Seige tank,SCV,Thors,Medevac and ghost? I'm not entirely familiar with Terran Unit quips.

 

[s3rius]

Actually I meant the quotes and not the units

However, there are references to quotes from 7 different units (two of them have 2 quotes).

4 of the 6 units you mentioned are correct ^.^

 

[Bloodcount]

>I am sorry Bloodcount, but I can't see you getting out of this as a winner. Vestras got so much more experience in ZvZ and Zerg in general.

I agree. If vestras survives s3rius he will make it to the finals.

>I predict two long games where Vestras is ahead by at least 40 supply almost all game long.
Bullshit. IIRC Vestras watches every single one of his games to see what he can improve and I don't have the patience to wait that long, so I will force him to either end the game in the first few minutes or just loose. I will wrap things up in ~15 minutes at max, no matter who is the winner.

 

[Siretu]

I haven't watched the replays and since I wasn't spectating myself, I couldn't view your food limits and such, but if Vestras really had 15+ 3/3 ultralisks on the way, I don't think you were really ahead. Since Ultralisks kills marines and thors pretty easily. Also, I only saw you kill one base since the stream was lagging 1 minute behind or something.

The second match on Kulas Ravine was harder for me to write about. I watched the beginning quite intensely but I was multitasking my writing and watching quite bad in the mid-late game so I didn't concentrate so much on the game then.

For the record, I was speaking to Monsterous on Vestras stream and we both agreed that Vestras would probably have won the first game and he thought that you would probably have won the second game. I can't really comment on the second game because from what I saw, it just looked very even.

 

[s3rius]

Yea, on the stream things are harder to see since you only know what Vestras knows.

I think this was how the map looked after my push:

Red circles are his bases, crossed out means destroyed.
The red cross without circle is an expansion I canceled before it was done.
Blue circles are my bases.
