They didn't even fix the imbalance of the map. The thing that's truly killing protosses is the front/backdoor threat into a drop in the main. That strat isn't lame at all-it's like mech, protosses will eventually figure out a counter to it. How is that strat lame? Should we prevent bunker rushes and forge choke block into cannon contains as well? It's basically the same thing. | ||

Once that hatch is up the P is as good as dead, as the games where it happened proved and why the map's been altered... | ||

Lets not even get into how hard it is to get the hatch up seeing as it takes two minutes to set that up, once it IS up, a good goon/storm army should be able to clear it, and a transition into reaver/sair might work too seeing as reavers easily outrange sunkens and Z wasted tons of money on defending an empty spot at the middle of the map which totally won't matter against an air-mobile army. Two games where you lose to a strat don't make it imba, or else Forge FE would be banned long ago because I'm pretty sure I saw it win more than two games. | ||

If by "horrible" you mean "has only been playing for a year and has a 0.500 or better record in every matchup, then sure, great's horrible. If you actually watch him play, he's not actually that bad. | ||

The first Free got caught off guard since that was when the build was unveiled. Bisu would've won if he microed his obs better, and don't tell me he's powerless to micro his obs. Also, Mech was "Invincible" during its inception and now it's 50-50 again. You cannot cry imba over two games, especially given how close the second game was. | ||
