Awesome, although free could have won the game so much earlier if he had remembered the counters to these strategies that were invented years and years and years ago. Still a great game, and one that shows that at least some BW players are still thinking about how to win games more easily.
3 port wraith? remember the PP that had corsairs being used on LT with splash damage to kill off wraiths? it's probably not the most optimal counter, but archons would do the same thing - it's like fighting off mutalisks, but more fragile with cloaking.
Lockdown? Free had that done to him a long long time ago by boxer on a blue tileset map (I want to say ROTK, but it might have been medusa...it was an example of a metagame counter).
Mindcontrol? Well this map has the arbs floating around, which is a special map feature, which made this super viable. That was new and interesting from a strategy point of view.
great great game though. BW players showing that they can still think and adapt with the best of them = awesome.

well, BW has only had 12 YEARS to have people develop its strategies.
While SC2 has had 2 months.
Dont forget the thousands of patches BW has had over the years.
lol@thousands. Do you know what the current version is?
SC2 beta is going to have the same number of patches very soon.

No need to mention the obvious. (thumb up)

best tvp in months.. and this was a low post vs high post battle before it got moved.. sc2 aint got nothing on bw.. move along..
|
Wax mentions maps earlier on..
I got a question.. why is BW still played on only 128 128 pretty much...
Can't we have gigantic maps yet? Cmon!
Players are too good nowadays.
But yeah, this game was amazing... it made me think for a long long time.

Glad to see you count retail patches as being the same as SC2's beta patches. SC beta and BW beta had a lot of patches during their betas.
This was a sick game, but too bad about the rest of the series not being as epic.

I watched this game live and damn it was amazing. One the best games I've ever seen.

wow bw definitely has better graphics than sc2 in youtube/video forms.
Watch the youtube videos from 2007 or so and earlier before you make things up. Low quality is low quality, regardless of what game is being shown.
+ Show Spoiler +Comparing high quality of an old game vs low quality of a new game is goddamned stupid.
Just because there's a bandwagon, it doesn't mean you should hop on it.

Wow ... just simply ...wow

O_O at the amasing lockdown, never knew i could be used that way :D

Guess I'm the only one not impressed with that game. Terran shenanigans dying to conventional macro. The lockdown was sick though.
No I agree with you Chill, the game was better than average but I've seen wayyyyy better games. I find it amusing that so many people from SC2 find that game incredible

BW = :/
SC2 = 
|
No need to mention that (BW > SC2) although I also agree with the ones who said that this game wasn't so good after all. It was fun to watch, but there was no tension at all. Both is a result of the map I guess. It's much like watching BGH No Rush.

Brood War even has better graphics than SC2
Agreed, I've seen many people disagree, but I assume you're talking about VODs/Live streams.
SC2 looks like crap in video, specially compared to SC1.

It's not that the game itself was that good in terms of playing (and actually it was damn disappointing that Free won at the end) but Hyia's build was just sick. 2 port wraiths into ninja expo + nuke with lockdown vs arbiters is the most original and balsy shit we have seen in TvP since Boxer golden age.
