Fucking zergs. Why do you think the results favor zerg? Everything about the architecture of that map except maybe the distance to the 3rd seems like it would be anti-zerg. I don't think you would ever say that narrow chokes favor zerg. It is worth noting that the areas are actually thin enough that it takes time for all the units to move through it. Is it possible that the distance to the 3rd is actually a bigger deal than the map architecture? Seems possible. Looking at the games themselves that I've seen I'm a little less convinced. I really do think that Nestea should've lost that game against sC and the mistakes he made were pretty small. PvZ is a whole different beast. I think it's very hard to nexus first on that map and having that option kind of out of the opening pool, even if it's not the only good option, helps zerg a lot, so it's possible that the mid-game issues are balanced out by opening? Again I'm not sure, it does seem that a lot of protoss are obsessed with colossus on that map which should be good, but really anything with heavy forcefields is going or even a mobility play like blink stalkers to pick your engagement. My basic point is that I have no problem if there is a counter-intuitive result on a map, but it seems there should be some reason that the paradox isn't actually a paradox. Because I think map architecture is definitely unfavorable for zerg. | ||

Fucking zergs. Love it. Zergs amuse me. Zerg player: Must macro, must macro. Need 9 bases. Right now, 9 bases and 120 drones. Terran player: Um..I think you could kill him like right now. He is being totally greedy. Zerg player: How does that get me to 9 bases? | ||

Notice that if you look further than the map balance, to a more realistically weighted skill estimation, like ELO, the asymmetries in race usage become quite visible: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-korean/players Really dude? Terran? After all their tournament wins? if you listen to Artosis, terran was four times as hard to play as protoss and twice as hard as zerg in BW it just goes to show you that you shouldn't listen to Artosis about game balance, ever. | ||

His name is very memorable as well, so people tend to never forget him  | ||
