Lame, I liked that strat.

Yeah, it was something new and fun, not unbeatable. Protoss didn't want to adapt nor they had enough games to do so.


Totally agree. I bet Bisu complained to KeSPA directly

bisu never got proxied hatched on medusa, it was another zerg wasnt it? free i think.

Good thing. Battle Royale was so horribly imbalanced. I'm glad KESPA realized this fact and didn't leave it up like they did with Katrina for so long.

I liked ZvZ on Battle Royal, but I guess it's a hit or miss thing. Aggressive play is always more fun when it's in close positions

I thought Shades of Twilight looked familiar. Then I went on MSPaint and used 'Invert Colors" to make it blue.

I am not saying that they should take away the viability of proxy hatchery.

I actually liked the proxy hat, because I think that it forces P to move out and attempt to gain map control a little earlier. Now I think that P has way too many options...but we'll see how it plays out.

I remember enough zerg and terran bitching when toss was winning everything. I feel medusa is better now without proxy hatch, but with the other fixes.

Yeah, because Neo Medusa really fixed a majority of the problems that already existed in tvp/tvz.

Also, Gorush tried to proxy hatch Backho in OSL. Backho breaks out ez.

Backho > Bisu?!?!?!

GoRush did the same strat on outsider that Luxury did vs Sea and Lomo beat it, Lomo > Sea!?!?!?!

More like GoRush is borderline terrible now and his timing is off. Great is a far better player than GoRush is.

wait what
EDIT : to add something im really glad the map is gone, as said earlier a map that only one matchup can be played on is fucking boring

lol please be joking

BR was the best ZvZ map ever, and the TvZ was mildly entertaining... but when all is said and done, it was a ZvZ map, and therefore not the best Proleague choice.

Proxy-hatch was such a stupid/lame strategy, I'm glad they got rid of it. Now Neo Medusa isn't ruined for PvZ.

It's a good strategy. Protoss played dumb for letting Zerg contain them and buy time to get the sunken contains up.

There is no let, it's like saying P shouldn't 'let' themselves be contained on Holy World. P is contained by default early on until they build up enough to break out, that is how it works.

So the ability for Zerg to easily threaten the main, nat, and min-only simultaneously in the early midgame doesn't ruin it for PvZ? People (including KeSPA) are shadowboxing at the proxyhatch when it's not really a big problem with the map. There have only been what, 2, 3 proxyhatch games? Leaving the maps PvZ record minus those something like 12-5 or 11-5?

Removing proxyhatch is pretty stupid IMO, it was entertaining and not really a large contributor to the map balance. It's something Protoss would have learned to deal with after a while. I'm not sure the temple break into doom drop strategy is even possible to counter if done well.

On a rampless map, there's no other way. You could do a 2 gateway expand, but it's much riskier and harder to pull off.

Now that BR is gone, Luxury may just win a ZvZ.

The temple break into doom drop strategy is the real culprit behind the supposed imbalance, and the only real counter I've seen for it is really good storming.

Like someone else said, on rampless maps, you pretty much have to Forge-FE. I mean, you can't go 1gate, since pool first builds will rape you. You maybe can go 2gate, and hope to god they don't go pool first. If they do, you are in trouble, since you can't both attack the Zerg and defend from lings running around in your main.

And often times in PvZ, espeically vs Lurker strategies, you are contained until you can break out. I mean, thats just how it works. They get lurkers/scourges for obs, and some other units outside your natural, so you have to mass up, and bust out. Busting out is made much much more difficult when you include like 7 sunken colonies, a few spore colonies, and then lurkers in between them.
