it's been awhile, any word on 2v2 matchmaking for SC:R? I remember a year ago we got a dev update on it, wondering what happened since then.

@Berby

You find games there within the minute though most of the time, yes, unless you cue between 3.00 and 7.00 o'clock or something.

The public channels are very "un-social" though, I mean, people hardly talk to strangers there. If you want company, work on your friend-list and learn in which channels these ppl hang out, or hook up with people through TL, discord, etc.

Many EU players play on USwest

Can we consider the zvz mu broken because of the larva trick which gives an advantage given the starting pos ?

No.. I don't know the maths but I doubt this change more than 20-30 minerals after few mins. Please correct me if im wrong.

I'm not sure either but having a minning advantage this early might be exponential (broken english, I hope you can still get the point).

To put it bluntly, if this were an issue it would of become more than self evident years ago.

I think it is actually a pretty well-known advantage, as well as what patches can be boosted or not, which in turn can affect how people play the map depending on location. However I don't think any pro has ever outright said that it has led to their win or loss and I suspect they know more than we do.

yeah 100% of zvz games are decided by zergling usage (micro and decision making). no pro is going to blame a slight mineral disadvantage when in reality their decision making mistakes are more costly

Basically this. I think that there is some credit to the notion in mirror builds on say, HBR, with left side being favored over right from the start, but it is not game-deciding by any means.

Terran also has a similar problem with comstat making mining worse.

Broken is completely the wrong word for it though. You could look at a two player map with such an issue and see if there is any startling statistic of one side of the map winning much more often than the other.

There have also always long been discussions about whether it is easier to spawn at the top or the bottom of the map, as in is it easier to move your army upward or downward.

The intuitive answer is that there are 100 small victories that make up a complete win, so even if you are awarded 1 or 2 out of 100 by luck, you can't win by just that. Things like build order advantage can be worth much more, or just whether or not you were looking in the right place at the right time to react optimally to an attack. Scouting direction too is just luck. Shooting up a hill can be quite random and annoying.

Playing from a disadvantage is somewhat unavoidable in StarCraft, it's going to happen sometimes. The skill of the game is how well you can make up for that disadvantage, and the fairness of StarCraft is that even in the same game bad luck can be spread between the two players, and certainly over a career things even out. No one can get to a final just on build order wins alone, even if it helps against a tough opponent.

But real talk ZvZ build order disadvantage is pretty brutal and is genuinely just a bad part of StarCraft even though once upon a time we had JvZ. At a certain point pros are all selecting their BO with the same optimal mixed strategy and it just sucks that it is so hard to make up the difference when you roll badly. It is something that makes me wish we had separate maps for ZvZ and PvP just to see if we could fix those matchups, even if the maps would be unplayable for any other match up. It's not like we have to account for Random in pro matches.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

if they did something specific like giving scourge a damage bonus against biological units...I mean thats something, yeah? Making scourge a stronger counter to mutas might incentivize slower play, maybe even hydra play...obviously theres little you can do to mitigate 9p vs 12h situations but...

What is the difference in mining between left and right spawning positions in zvz? More than fifty minerals in a minute?
