Although I like every right minded American think Incontrol is a hero, isn't the point Artosis was making that Nostalgia is imbalanced because the greatest players, who were all Terran, only won 50% of the time on it? Isn't he saying it's balanced against Terran? If not, either
disregard this or correct me :D!

Edit: Okay, I think I get it. Incontrol is arguing that Artosis should quit crying about map imbalance, and Terran is imba anyway.

I guess I just can't follow because at n00b level, P>T EZ.

To paraphrase Grandmaster Artosis, the entirety of Terran strategy for every matchup can be summarized as waiting to get enough tanks to kill an entire army in one volley. Even the short-sighted and simple Terran players can recognize such a great imbalance. But I have to admit, having the fastest unit in the game on only the 2nd tier of tech with a short build time, that can shoot fragmentation grenades capable of vaporizing all peons, zerglings, zealots, defilers, and high and dark templar in seconds, and can even shoot these grenades backwards without losing acceleration, AND can shit out three mini-nukes that burrow into the ground only to pop out at the perfect time and seek out an enemy unit at an inescapable speed, gives siege tanks and their arclite cannons quite a run for their money.

Ah, how could I forget their cost? Let's make a list of units (excluding peons) that are cheaper than vultures:
--Zergling
--Marine

That was easy.

locke dream big or go home.

But in this case just go home.

If you had friends, and if those friends made a blog perhaps you'd understand the concept of "having fun." Until then just trust those of us who have friends

The OP is right. There's countless examples. Nostalgia isn't balanced because the play style was micro oriented back then and there player skill difference was huge. Longinus is balanced T=P at the progaming level but slightly T>P at the foreign level. And so on.

that's actually a really interesting point. I've never thought of map stats with respect to top players and the meta-strategies at the time.

by that token, isn't DMZ such a terrible map because a team always had a zerg. what if one team went T/P or T/R instead?

it's pointless to discuss 2v2 maps without considering a Z on the team, 99% of matches have a Z

Nobody else has banned me from their blog cause nobody else is a nancy faggot.

Silly, considering you banned me from your blog first because I made a joke about you having a stick up your ass. Couldn't handle the heat of a little joke, based on how much of an unrelenting asshole you are to half the people on these forums.

It's funny how foreign level varies so much compared to the monsters in programing.

This thread makes me want to play Nostalgia again... God I hated that map, I don't know why would I want to ever play on it.
Not bad for a cat toy.

i'm surprised nobody has said anything about TroyTroy's tvz "imbalance" just because of a 6-0 run for terran. Yet in all of those games, the terran has just outclassed the zerg player :/

I agree that the tl map database isn't the best source for proving map imbalances...if that was Artosis's point
