Pinder qq's out of the Bo5

+ [Game 1] +

Map - Lost Temple

Pinder spawns at the left and opens standard 14 gate followed by cyba core with his 80% BM handicap. pRoHuntresS spawns at the top and opens with a 15 pool and then a very late hatch at 18. HuntresS goes ling-heavy early on, allowing Pinder to pull way ahead in worker count, and not being able to use the lings due to a tight wall-off at the top of Pinder's ramp. Pinder looks to expand early, but before throwing down his Nexus he see's lings outside his natural and instead warps in 3 stalkers and pushes. HuntresS has a roach warren and is halfway to Lair, yet has no units. The 3 stalker, 2 zealot and 2 sentry push is held off purely by drones and a queen. Mass roach ensues, followed by counter-Immortals by Pinder, who is at 1/0/1 upgrades. HuntresS, without map control and no upgrades, cannot take a 3rd, and Pinder maintains the early economic lead he was gifted by HuntresS to power through the Zerg base. 1-0 to Pinder.

** - extremely safe play from Pinder, HuntresS lost this game in the early stage. Nothing majorly exciting, however. Replay useful for a Protoss player.

+ [Game 2] +

Map - Scrap Station
pRoHuntresS spawns at the top left, Pinder on the bottom right. HuntresS goes for a fast pool and then gas to get ling speed, while Pinder goes 3 gate. Pinder sends out an early 2 stalker poke, but zergling speed finishes before they are able to retreat to their base, putting Pinder on the defensive. Both players expand and macro up. Pinder opts for mass Stalker / Sentry while HuntresS takes a third and masses Roaches. The middle rocks are destroyed with Pinders army in the middle, with each push being held just barely by HuntresS. Pinder goes for blink Stalkers, while HuntresS gets burrow, micro battle ensues. HuntresS ends up outmacroing Pinder, and once he discovers Pinders undefended third, it's gg.

*** - Nice play from both sides, Pinder's blink micro was good, and HuntresS' style was solid.

Winner's Interview - pRoHuntresS

+ [Open Interview] +

Hi there pRoHuntresS! Introduce yourself to everyone.
Hey guys, my names Edgar, I'm a 21 year old student from Malaysia. I've been playing StarCraft since Brood War. I still play it in LAN cafes with my friends, although I never played it competitively.

Excellent, how did you get into StarCraft 2?
I was a WarCraft 3 gamer, so my style is naturally orientated around micro. I found that StarCraft 2 was smooth and solid micro wise, so I latched straight onto it. I quit WarCraft 3 relatively early because of connection issues.

How did your first ever grudge match feel?
Exciting! I felt under pressure on the first map (Lost Temple) because we spawned close to each other and I was cautious about droning up.. however, on the second map (Scrap Station) I felt like NaDa taking his jacket off ^^, I have a lot of respect for Pinder because he's a really good player, it's just a shame he didn't want to finish off the the games!

Awesome! If the opportunity presents itself, would you like to face Pinder in another grudge match?
Of course. It was quite fun having a grudge match, maybe I should taunt more people from now on? ^_^. Of course if Pinder wanted a rematch, I would have the confidence to play him anytime.

Them's fighting words! One last question, in the first game Pinder opted to have a 80% handicap. What did you think of this? Did you consider it BM?
I didn't notice it until the game ended. if I had known at the start I would have 6 pool him, or drone rush! Soft/kottbullar style :P Yeah that was very BM.

Indeed. Thankyou for your time pRoHuntresS. You are indeed an inspiration to us all with your massive e-peen!
Thanks! SEA HWAITING!

Nice GJ there huntress

[Xeen]

I was going to be like 'how can you insult nGen zergs' but then I remembered that it's true anyways.

Imo you two should have swapped races, otherwise Huntress could just throw every game and then use it to say how UP Zerg is.

Why the **** is there an interview for a 2 game series?

i beat him on 80% hp and then lost on zerg station and got bored.

[FatHuntresS]

Nice excuse. QQ moar. Doesnt look like you were bored in the game though. Maybe struggling.a little bit.. helpless then.. i hear the screams of QQ'er similar to that of idra.


it was 100% vs 100% btw.

[Quest]

It's kinda disappointing to not see the entire series. Leaving after the initial matches and saying that you are bored is kinda bm. Sucks..

I went all-in cos i couldnt be bothered playing a macro game against zerg on the map, if theres a way to look more bored of the game than going all-in against someone you just crushed on 80% in a standard management game, I don't know about it.

And yeah the second game was 100% vs 100% because u switched to terran then switched back to zerg at the last second without saying anything... the first game where i played straight up you got horrible destroyed and i was on 80%.

and fwiw I didnt even want to play you, nirvana edited my post in the thread to say 'i agree!!' as we were laughing with eachother on msn about how ridiculous the thread was and how he should start admin abusing... So I didnt want to look like a total fuckhead and make it look like i said i agreed then you say you did then i say i didnt.

Add onto that the whole thing is a joke and i have 0 respect for you as a starcraft player (read: started the match on 80%), and i couldn't really care less if i lose a grudge match where i have nothing to prove...

Its completely different when some1 says lets do a grudge match and pinder said he couldnt be botheres.. only to have an admin EDIT his post to say i accept. so having any games at all is better than nothing

[FatHuntresS]

So you expect me to know an admin edited your post, calling people F*** noob and having 0 respect for others and then losing a game and quitting a match-series where you're suppose to play? What are you looking for pinder?

You beat me on 80% where i didnt even had army, i agree that was my mistake and didnt even know ur on 80% thats why didn't went all-in. and started to drone up on that distance.

TBH you really played with your full on the 2nd game, so stop trying to deny that. a loss is a loss,atleast be a man and admit it. God. what a cry baby. You got outmacro'd and out micro'd . Nuff said.

i agree that the match was silly to start off, but you did loss. So i dont know where you're going with all this thrash talk like im having 0 respect for u etc.

Unless you want to start another silly nothing to prove match. Jesus. Get a life.

[dennistoo]

And it all started because of my thread is "Toss UP now"? Ahh, you should have finish the BO5 to prove that toss is UP!
