Best was being a bit careless, he could have picked 6 and 8 expos with his recalled units, had he actually targetted the cc

Obviously alot of people are claiming just that though. Maps are not a bigger factor than match-up imbalances.

I'm done talking off-topic in this thread though! Might take it to a blog. Later

Foucault you've said this stuff in every PMT LR thread. They're obviously not just play-testing them on TV, each team is rigorously testing these maps in-house. They should have a good idea of where each map stands at the end of the month because of that fact, not because of these showmatches.


So the OP shouldn't say that these broadcasted games are used for determining statistics for the maps obviously. I said it in one other thread where I read the same thing. Now, if that's not the case, then why does it say so in the OP?

Still, the whole "the-game-itself-is-100%-balanced-it's-ALL-about-maps" viewpoint is quite faulty imo, since Starcraft of course isn't perfectly balanced. I think they are reading a tad too much into maps.


The Game is balanced. The Players are not, though.


Of course it's not balanced.

stop trolling ffs


Oh c'mon I'm not trolling.

You are probably the one trolling if you are saying that all the matchups in Starcraft are 100% balanced in some mystical way. That's not possible


Noone said it's 100% balanced. I'll say 'it's balanced enough to bring even games between players of even skills'. Yet, this kind of discussions often ignores the fact that one race may have more talented/skilled players than another, which brings 'imba' results.

Justin had a better economy in the beginning but just lost to Best's macro in the end.

In fact maps are the dominant factor if anything. People dont think about but the pretty standard map design determines the course of the game most of the time.
Walled off main, choke into natural, natural. Think how the game would be different/unbalanced if they didn't adhere to that design.

Macro... SMASH!!!

Justin relented with the vulture harass and Best proves once again that this is not the way for a Terran to beat him.

LOOK OK

It is possible to make a map that is ~100% PvT between players of equal skill. It is also possible to make a map that is is ~100% TvP!

It is also possible to make a map right in the middle! Therefore, maps are all-important when talking about balance!

Good, you'll be the 4000th person to troll about how SC isn't 100% balanced and no one will care, because no one is disagreeing with you. Have fun.

Narrow paths that favour terran for a huge push, altough there are so many of them it makes flanking easy for protoss, seems kind of balanced. Perhaps widening the middle might be something to look at.

Next match is going to be quite fun.

Btw, I thought this roadrunner map had something odd: all of the bases look so awfully large... I'm already fearing in-base proxy gateways next season (if this map gets in, that is)
