I have no idea what PvZ is like in present day Broodwar, but back around 2003-2006 (basically pre-bisu vs savior), protoss users used to cry like little babies about PvZ while being completely horrible at the matchup (I was protoss in SC1 btw). Anyhow, I had many many many long arguments with people on TL about PvZ, and I was like almost alone in thinking it wasn't a broken matchup (some higher level players agreed with me tho). Anyway, a while before Bisu vs Savior finals I had received a replay pack of reps from Bisu's PGTour account (months old games but still), and based on how godly he looked in those games (and I basically based my PvZ on those reps), I liquibetted Bisu > Savior ----- which only like a handful of others did ^_^ | ||

The warp prism / immortal micro was just insane. The game would have gone completely different if JD had managed to snipe that dreaded prism with something like 10 HP left. After JD's inefficient counterattack, HerO had caught up again. And of course, Yeonsu is just a nightmare for zerg to play against those builds. Not every Jaedong fan is a whiny bitch, I actually think that most people are pretty calm and can respect the skill of other players. It's just that those people don't post too much. They read all the balance whine, shrug and close the tab with the forum thread to enjoy the games. I also had tons of fun watching the tournament yesterday and I have to agree with Jinro completely. SC2 may still have its flaws, but it has developed into an amazing game. If only bunkers would build five seconds faster... Indeed. Still, that said all the crying in a LR thread sometimes denotes involvement in the game and players. And it is JD, after all. Having watched the games last night (that series and that final game especially were awesome!), the crying could have been a lot worse. Or maybe, I've become a little anaesthetized to it all (haha!). Anyway, JD could have vetoed Yeonsu (rather than Polar Night). He, literally, had no-one to blame but himself. I do wish they could have focused on that 60 kill Immortal a little at the end. It's not the first time we've had these invincible Immortals in SC2 (mainly in PvZ). First time I saw one was on Metal in WOL, a 50+ kill Immortal holding off waves of Roaches at the natural. It was a HuK game, IIRC, and I don't remember who won; the Immortal survived on shields for the longest time before trundling off to counter attack (after the 3rd or 4th hold) and dying. Funny the things you remember about games. | ||

They are friends, they were on the same team and lived together.. it's not the same thing has a random user offending another random user.. BTW I agree with Jinro.. I played 3 times more HoTS then WoL! The game is way more fun, i play zerg and there isn't a map i vetoed! I agree that some maps are worse then others, but all of them are good to play and i don't feel a instant loss or a need to all-in in any of them! ZvZ is more then just muta wars or roaches! I really like to watch and play this game.. i play lots of games, normally i end a game and unistall it but SC2 stays and i usually end up playing it from time to time.. | ||

I don't want to bother comparing it to Brood War. I am just saying these things about the game itself that makes it difficult for me to get into it or be excited about the matches. Of course you were a good Brood War player and a good SC2 player, and maybe SC2 is the best it has ever been but I'm not sure of it's merits as a spectator activity (in spite of it's popularity as one). | ||

It was code A, and it seems unlikely hehe. I was so close, losing 1-2 im minseok in qualifier finals in 3 close games. He made a come back in final match after a huuuuge burrow baneling play. Last time I played really good sc I think :p | ||

Worse is that after that shift in balance where one player gets a big lead, the game goes on for another 5 to 10 minutes in a kind of a pointless way. 5-10 minutes into every game Tastosis are like "I don't know how he's going to come back from this." "Well it's gonna be really hard, but maybe he can slowly die like this." And they're basically never wrong lol. You just can't lose your main army in SC2, the exchanges don't usually even out, and a player with much better concentration and speed isn't going to come back from an unlucky strategy disadvantage or a bungled attack. In SC2 there are fewer engagements, fewer points of interest on the map, and fewer decisions to make, which causes all of them to be super critical. Victory in SC2 is never gradual. There is not problem with slow build ups or turtling in my opinion, there is a problem with there being not enough battles and turning points throughout the game.

IMO if you watch IEM cologne you will see an insane amount of back and forth games, including SEVERAL huge come backs. Very few snowbally game.s | ||

Carmac “You have a perfectly healthy car, you’re driving the autobahn…, and then you have a half million dollar racecar just whizzing past you, and another one, let’s say quarter million dollar racecar whizzing past you, and it seems to you like you’re driving slower, but you’re not. And I think that is what’s going on. The amount of attention that Dota 2 and League of Legends are getting are creating a perception that Starcraft II is doing worse. I don’t think it’s doing that worse, that much worse. I mean, we’ve got fantastic players, we’ve got a super exciting tournament, people on reddit, people on twitter, I mean, everyone’s talking about this event here. Games are super exciting, absolutely amazing, mind-blowing. Viewership is regularly very high, I mean, I wouldn’t have dreamed of having a peak concurrent viewership of over 40,000 for a Brazil tournament, while there’s another European tournament going on (Asus)! So, I have nothing to complain about as an organizer. Starcraft II isn’t going anywhere in Intel Extreme Masters because it’s a game that brings a lot of value to Intel Extreme Masters. The Quake Live, Counter-Strike communities, World of Warcraft community, they all know that I pull the trigger on it when I have to. And I can tell you right away; I’m not pulling the trigger on Starcraft II.” SCII isn't dead or dying. Other games are just growing faster. | ||

So, do you play BW any more? I know a lot of older SC2 names that came over from BW still do (e.g. TT1 and FreMan), and the scene is probably the biggest its been since OSL and PL went over to SC2. Now's a good time to be a foreign BW player. | ||
