Any way I can catch up with the metagame changes since 2009? Welcome back to the BW family Most foreigners play on ICCUP. The Koreans play on fish server but for beginners I guess ICCUp is a lot better, more sociable, lower levels etc.. http://iccup.com/en/dota/files.html as for metagame I dont think it has changed that much? I think FS was already around in 2009 I think, that is the map where we all play, and most maps have similar characteristics (e.g. relatively easy 3rd) I will try to think of how I played the game 6 years ago (PS: Im protoss user) TVT/PVP/ZVZ - basically very similar, I guess there is an increased in tendency to start mass wraiths once you have 3 bases up in TVT. But rest of the MU are similar really. The Hive tech ZVZ has become slightly more common, that said it is still very very rare. PVT: Terrans now like to take a fast 3rd expansion very quickly (off 1-3 facts). 2 bases 6 factory pushes aren't as common now. As a results protoss users also tend to expand earlier/more aggressively. PVZ: The standard build from Zerg would be to go 3 hatch lair (normally the 3rd hatch will be at another natural) then add spire then add 2 more hatcheries, with earlier scourges to counter the "Bisu" build. Sim city is also more advanced at this stage in that speedlots attacks aren't as effective vs zerg. TVZ: Basically zergs are still doing what savior would do... he really changed the MU. One thing that I can think of is terrans tend to do a mech switch after say 3 bases to counter the zerg lategame units. | ||

That's a broad category, I can only assume you mean professional/considerable $ leagues. The reason to have maps that size is to accomodate more than 4 players. As far as I know, 5+ player maps have never been used. Probably because rush/push distances become too variable/prone to imbalance on 5+ spawn/larger maps. Not to mention you're going to have an unnecessary amount of bases for a 1v1 game if you want a normal density of bases on these larger maps. I'm thinking there's some good reason why map makers landed on 128x128 for standard map size. | ||

IIRC in early seasons of the Blizzard Ladder they were, if that counts as 'competitive' Starcraft. Nowadays 1v1 is almost always on 128x128 or 96x128 maps, as you know. Design-wise, you can see why, though I guess 1v1'ing on a 256x256 map once in a blue moon would be an interesting change-of-pace. | ||

 . Also if they suicide too much army sometimes you can kill them when they free up supply for carriers. | ||

Perhaps a combination of the following? Well upgraded goliaths and an absolute ton of turrets, although they're basically just for delaying the carriers until your goliaths arrive wherever they're attacking. | ||

What was the reason? Because someone is a moderator and can do whatever he wants, and that's it? | ||
