Maybe you should play on the map first before you make that comment. | ||

I can tell you that he binds all hatcheries at 5 and 2(this one i believe) for units in sc2. He got a second place in that minor tour. I was told to sit next to him because they have to mix sc2 players and sc1 players for R8. | ||

From what I've heard most players have become fed up with FS, not sure about the opinion of the current Korean audience. They fucking better. Neo Neo Python is a garbage map and it's a travesty that it passed Destination for most games played. Bring back Destination, original Outsider and original HBR (aka movietown) and I'm good. | ||

Does anyone have a good explanation for the domination of Terran? Is it the maps? More crowded maps benefits Terran. Is it because terran is more structured and rigid and benefits when the strategies are more stagnant? Or were terran players more likely to stay loyal to BW because they were more likely to have personal traits that lines up with the terran philosophy? If I recall correctly, terran players were definately overrepresented among the kespa progamers who jumped ship on SC2 early on. I was quite unimpressed by the TvP of Sharp and Last. Last seemed too scared and passive in the lategame. Was it a fluke? Shuttle was great, but I got the feeling that Shuttle were comfortable in control of most games, and that really shouldn't be happening. Sea and Flash must be better than that right? | ||

Well Bisu wasn't in this tournament. And BeSt/Effort wanted to play more "conventional" PvTs and ZvTs but then the opponents exploited some weird weak timing in their defense. The games they've lost can actually go both ways if the timings are even 2 seconds off. So the game is very much razor sharp. | ||

In general, the maps have some effect on the imbalance, particularly Fighting Spirit, as has been well documented. Protoss and Zerg generally do a good deal better on, say, Circuit Breaker. More than anything, there is such a small BW scene in terms of number of progamers (that manage to make a living through Afreeca donations), and there happen to be proportionately many more Terran than the other two races. Looking at the list of active/competitive Afreeca BJs, there are ~10-12 Terran versus only four Zerg and ~six-seven Protoss progamers. | ||

But how come this map is so loved? What do you guys love about it ? I mean it's a really awesome map, but what is it that make you so loving it? Is it because it's a snow/ice map? | ||
