Lately I've been playing a lot of ICCUP, and since I cannot make games due to firewall I have to join. Basically pub games are dissected into 3 categories: MOTW, Python, and Destination. It seems like just about every time I join a game on Python a Protoss made it and every time I join a game on Destination a Terran made it. Goddamn I'm so tired of playing vs 2-gate on Python and mech on desti

When Python and Desti are maps of the week, I really dont want to play at all that week.

anyone else getting this?

Let them say we lived in the time of Boxer, Emperor of Terran. Let them say we lived in the time of Nal_rA, Dreamer of Protoss. Let them say we lived in the time of Savior, Master of the Zerg.

Haha...I had your same problem with the firewall. I ironically had the same python problem with protoss...my win rate was something abysmal like 20 percent. I came back from school without the firewalling and started making my own games and playing against FE toss. Now my win rate is like 60%.

As for Terran, I just don't play destination. I don't like that map at all, though I know a lot of people do.

Zergs are from Heartbreak Ridge and God's Garden.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Zergs are from Andromeda, really. That's a lovely Zerg map. Unfriendly to terrans, though.

I hate when zergs complain that protoss players aren't doing fe. I could see a zerg complaining that they always do fe, but that's another issue.

When I played last season, pretty much every game I played was a ZvP on Destination. With the P making the map. And me being the Zerg...

Lair zerg mid/early game too imba, 2 gate allows sick pressure (early win if they fuck up and power too hard) and very easy denial of third while allowing a simple 2nd. FE lets zerg roam very free while P does a cookie-cutter beat all kinda strategy in hopes of securing a 3rd base. With 1 base opener on Python, zerg can't safely take 3rd unless they know how to stop 1 base P and most Z now don't know the hax so it's a good opener.
