Devourers are sometimes used in hivetech zvz, and against sair reaver that transitions into carriers.

Mutas + Devourers = aerial rape.
Devourers slow the enemy airship's attack rate. Additionally, it applies an debuff, which makes the affected unit take 1 more damage. This might not be much, but when there are 9 debuffs on a unit, he will take 9 more damage per attack.
A mutalisk makes 9-3-1 damage with it's glaive worm. Now imagine a single muta shooting at three corsairs that have nine stacks of violet goo on them. The mutalisk will deal 18-12-10 damage per attack.

Why would you root for either of those teams? It's no fun to root for a favorite. Root for T8, or Ace, or Khan or something.

Somewhat intersting aspect is that the players and teams do not know either. I would think that season after season of competeing, teams learned what players are good at what and when they are likely to be played on what map. But from my understanding, not even players who are friends talk about their abilities or likes and dislikes outside of the team. They are just as blind.

Edit: btw, if BW has to go, then I truly want SC2 to become good, I want to continue watching SKT1 roflstomping KT in every SPL. I want to keep seeing Fantasy TvTs, Bisu winning OSL.


You do know that Bisu winning OSLs in SC2 will be meaningless, right?


It would mean a lot to his fans <3


Uhhh, not really. It'd kind of be like one of those events where people will go "Yeah, he won an....OSL?" But does that really mean anything when the OSL is about SC2?

Really? Have Bisu fans stooped so low as to say "ANY OSL WILL DO. JUST WIN ONE."

If that's the case, I'll just stop talking because I'm just going to laugh. Oh Zow.....if only you read things like this.

Rumors are Woongjin Stars are doing great in SC2, and they were quite strong in BW last season too. If they manage to make more successful use of Light and free, and sHy fully explodes + they all seem very pissed for missing the bar with equal points, so.... I think a why Stars will win thread would sound pretty reasonable at this point.

This format doesn't even make sense, BO3 BW and BO3 sc2 with ace match sc2? Also I dont understand what they mean when a team wins 2-0 in a bo3 then the last players are recorded as having played???? what does that even mean? This is way too confusing lol.

You don't choose a team to root for, you grow attached to one of them. It's like friends, you don't handpick a friend, friendship just happen. Each one of us has a story behind why we root for the team in our signature.

Yeah, any tournament related to SC2 is infinitely less prestigious than any BW tournament, winning a 'SC2 OSL' is not the same thing than winning a real OSL. Bisu never won (T_T) and never will win a real OSL, that's a fact.

I don't see why Bisu fans would be so cynical. Fans love seeing their idols win. Even Grubby fans from WC3 are happy when they see him win SC2 events. Grubby isn't exactly top tier, even for foreigners, but he has a huge fanbase in SC2 because of all the fans he carried over from his WC days.

If Bisu does win a SC2 OSL, I don't think the fan's thoughts are "ANY OSL WILL DO. JUST WIN ONE". They are happy for him for winning a prestigous tourney that has people the likes of Flash, Jaedong, Stork, Fantasy, etc. (Sorry, English isn't my first language T_T).

The recorded withouth playing thing is important because players need to play both games. Let me try to ilustrate with an example:

CJ - KT in BW
Effort - Stats
Hydra - Mind
Leta - Hoejja

then in SCtoo (lol if this becomes a trend)
Horang2 - Flash
Snow - Action
Rush - CH

In the second round, lets say CJ vs SKT, the 3 players that were listed for BW in week 1, can't be listed in BW vs SKT, they need to be listed for SC2 to be able to play BW again. So in week 2 if they play SC2, then in week 3 they can play BW again, if in week 2 they don't play (or play in the ace match only, I believe the ace match doesn't count as a SC2 match, it is special) in week 3 they still cant play BW. The samething happens in the opposite case. Players who play SC2 in week 1 need to play BW next week (or whatever week they play after if they're in a deep team) in order to be able to play SC2 again. Everyone will go BW-SC2-BW..... or SCtoo-BW-SCtoo....

So that means that even if you dont play but you are registered, it counts. For instance if CJ wins all sctoo games 2-0, and effort is listed everyother week as the third sc2 player, we will only see effort play bw because his sc2 games weren't needed due to CJ being awesome

I hope this helps =/
