Its so sad that when replying to this great game, people forget the best stuff and action, and that the mistakes which were made here made this game a very entertaining one, and just talk about a mistake or two. I really liked this replay, nice moves were made here, very interseting game. I enjoyed watching it more then some replays which are posted at the home page of this site.

very boring/poor game tbh.

boring ? ? ?
when was the last time you saw a game, in which you saw elite nuke migs cruising the skies of TD map ?
when was the last time you saw a game, where a captured OL was blown away, made more then 7 spins , just bouncing over a tunnel, just to stay alive and get in it ?
when was the last time you saw a game, where the gla player tries 4 times to build his palace, succeeding at the 5th, just to sell it after 1 minute ?
when was the last time you saw a game, when the SW was launched twice and the gla was still standing, waiting for the 3rd time?

just cos he is not 1 of your friends he should tolerate this shit ?

Here is my review. Tho I m not experienced with reviewing, I thought this game deserves at least a decent review.
I really like Murder's style.

RoNio -> Nuke
fabbo -> Toxin

RoNio

RoNi0 started his game aggresively, always checking the flanks. Imo it was a gg if his OL + Dragon + Dragon drop ( all together ) was succesfull. His nice Bo and unit mixing made it a longer, fun to watch game. His playing just warmed up towards the game and was very good near the end. His Migs Micro was just beautiful changing targets constantly to hit every unit possible, terrorizing the battlefield.

Pros:
  • you started really nice and aggresive.
  • except for 1 tunnel, which almost cost you the game, you didnt let him build his tunnels at all, using migs, trucks and other units.
  • the AF's placement was nice to prevent tt's from the flank.
  • you had awreness to whats been happening at the map using bm's as scouts and outposts.
  • your lotus gave him a hard time. wp by lotus thumb.gif .
  • Good use of Generals Points. Those carpets murdered him.
  • you didnt let him to build his palace for along time --> no bb's.
  • Your micro with helix wasnt the best at the begining, but at the end you took several of his quads leaving your helix alive to watch it to the end.
  • And last and most important, your migs micro was nearly perfect.
Cons:
  • you should be more careful with your units. ( Helix, Bms, Nuke cannons, etc. ).
  • instead of spamming OL's + ecms from those 2 wf's to protect from bb's, you used Nuke cannons. Was nice at times, but you should have placed them at a more secure and tactical place.
  • Sell your rear suplies when done and expand quickly at the begining.
  • Now, it looked to me you were strugeling to save your money and build your units, but you should always take care of late game econ.
Rating: 8/10

fabbo

fabbo started a bit slow but tried his best to flank, attack and expand at all time. His micro sure saved his s several times.
His kell did a great job helping him to gain few OL's to his arsenal.

Pros:
  • You defended yourself very well from that early OL + Dragons + helix combo.
  • nice moves from you saved you from his attacks.
  • tho it was impossible you did build up a tunnel at the flank.
  • You quickly destroyed his derick, and always tried to flank.
  • you expanded real fast.
  • Your kell usage was very cool, giving him hard time and capturing several OL's.
Cons:
  • You should have been faster and more aggresive. Use tt's at the begining.
  • you should have mixed your units better befor the nuke migs were up. early kell, more quads, etc.
  • you should have attacked from 2 flanks together, supprizing his migs not ready.
  • Bad Luck with the rebel ambush.
  • Upgrade your quads, you lost 4 of them to that helix in the end in 1 attack.
Rating: 7/10

Overall

This game was very different from all others. Very entertaining, and just a cool game to watch. Its been awhile since I enjoyed a replay this much, And I doubt it, I'll see more entertaining replay soon.

Rating:
entertainment : 10/10

Hmm both were lacking micro quite a few times and the drop+ attack on palace was pulled off quite bad sad.gif. Pretty good use of migs but then again he could concentrate on them as he didnt really have any ground units. I think a second airfield would've been a must-have against a better gla player just incase one BB gets through. Pretty entertaining most of the time despite both of them having problems controlling their units.
6.5/10 by me but only cuz I loved those migs =)

Absolutly horrid use of land units, very very little action in the game until MUCH later on with nuke migs, which lost their novelty a while back.

Very poor micro and decision making. Nuke should have won AGES before the end.

The main mistakes being the dragon tank behind the AD not accualy hurting anything when it could have taken then AD and supply. Also when lotus captured the rax it just ran off when she could have easily got the supply/wf too.

This is quite possibly the most bland replay I have ever seen. It was just toxin sitting around on one supply and a single oil (not even attempting to get the other) and nuke sitting around doing a very slow tech to Nuke migs, then toxin started to spam busses at these nuke migs and got owned.

This was one of the very very few replays where the thought of stop watching was deeply considerd. Sure there was some nice use of nuke migs, but it isn't exactly hard to select your 4 migs and click on a bus, which is exactly what happened.

I agree with this last reply. The players were too relaxed and made lots of mistakes. The replay is nothing more than a fireworks display.
