hard to believe Shuttle won an ASL, was he better then, or just others got better?

Winning is about self confidence. Shuttle has that big brother vibe going for him.
Personally, I think anything 1-10 was super high cerebral, 10-19 was dumber by the minute like SC2, but I like 10-19 better. However on single matchups, I think somewhere around 1-10 were best, I forgot which seasons had the most arbiter stasis pushes I find best.

Why were seasons 1-10 more cerebral than what came after?

It was pretty easy to follow the action during the second part. I guarantee you you couldn't guess it in 1-10 like you could in 10-19.

I disagree with 1-10 being more cerebral. 10-19 are much more refined with smaller marging for error.

1-10 was berserk. 10-19 was refined, but in a noninteresting way SC2 is. Maybe I'm overly nostalgic. I still have a predisposition to PvT. 10-19 feels more TvZ favoured. Good, but not like PvT wild.


I really disagree with that. Season 10+ was better to me in every aspect except maybe some maps being way too unbalanced. And perhaps the enforcement of less bases, less minerals at some expansions did force games to generally be a bit shorter, which also resulted in more semi-all-in timings.
I think if they reduce the size of the map pool back to 5, and take out some obvious weird maps, that the competition will feel both maximum refined and berserk.

Just to concur: do you think more bases and more minerals are what made 1-10 seasons PvT festivities? We might have stumbled upon some brilliant idea.


It has by design become more difficult to expand to a 4th base/3rd gas for terran.

Yet, I've never heard it the same for protoss. If anything smaller maps are told to be favoured for timing attacks vs zerg. Is it the opposite for PvT - the bigger the better? I wonder...
