Idk if I'm reading it correctly but does it mean ZvZ is a shit matchup that goes spire/muta almost every game?

No waaay. Really?!?

Kidding aside, I watched a ZvZ from 2000 last week and even back then mutas ruled the matchup.

Does anyone happen to know how to get around the map download issue in battle.net, where you are stuck for minutes trying to join a lobby? Sometimes if you are lucky you'll be able to download the map (but are kicked out of the server), but usually you just get an error eventually.

The game is going through your entire map file to see if you have the map or not, before determining whether to download it. If you want, you can clear out a lot of the maps you don't play anymore from your map files and it will speed up the process. Same with replays.

or if you're a map hoarder like me who has all their maps since 2004, just rename your current "maps" folder to something like "maps2", and create a new empty "maps" folder... you'll have to switch/rename everytime you want to access your older maps though

Yeah clearing out only the downloads folder didn't work, but emptying the replays folder with tens of thousands of replays fixed the issue. Thanks!

99% sure this would have worked too, yeah.

back in the day, if your folder had more than 255 maps in it, the folder would just stop at the 255th map in-game and won't go any further. i'm pretty sure they've fixed this issue in remastered but was always amusing having to manually divide my download folder into alphabetical order.

Also looks like (Wiki)Classic (Kim Doh Woo) is streaming Brood War right now, alongside other StarCraft 2 progamers.

(Wiki)SHIN is observing the games: https://play.sooplive.com/risker1245/296278667

isn't GSL CK a crowdfunded SC2 tournament series? i'd feel pretty pissed off if i were a SC2 fan and they took prize money out of the patreon funds to do this on a whim.
