Unfortunately, it's hybrid PL now, with SC2 being played as well. Format works like this: First three sets are BW, last three sets are SC2. Ace match is SC2 no matter what. Each three set = a best of three series. So if a team wins 2-x in BW but loses x-2 in SC2, then they decide the result based on the ACE match. The worse part is that players must alternate between games, meaning if they play BW for one day, they MUST play SC2. The ace match does not count as this though, so anyone can play that. | ||

I would not be surprise if team 8 would improve in SC2 skill quite a lot. | ||

Additionally I don't get why people don't recall their recalled armies back home after they destroyed some builds but instead let all of them get slaughtered, seems like a waste. | ||

Even when a Stasis goes of of only affects 3-5 units most of the time while Storm has a huge AoE radius and you should be able to land more Storms than Stasis because Templar are cheaper. Additionally I don't get why people don't recall their recalled armies back home after they destroyed some builds but instead let all of them get slaughtered, seems like a waste. Okay let me answer your questions here . 6 high templars in the open without protection and imagine it engaging it in a tank line of siege tank . Without any protection these so called much better units than Arbiters will be evaporated in to the dust within a few seconds . However instead of having high templars you had 4 arbiters with stasis upgrade . What can you do with it ? Of course you could stasis a whole bunch of siege tank with 4 stasis spell and players at D + level are pretty much too lazy to split their tank line . Stasis taking away and freezing most of the tank lines gives you the opportunity to push in with your zealots and dragoon force with zealots heading the charge in to the battle . Will always lead you to a guaranteed win if you stasis his tank lines properly . However for a more effective use of this two good units in the late game it is preferable you have a mix units in the late game having arbiters + shutle with high templars allows you to storm terran ball units in to dust if you have the proper micro and attention to your unit which is a big if . On a noob level Arbiters are always preferable unit and oh about leaving your units to die instead of recalling them . Well you see in the first place recalling unit isn't mean to kill the terran unit instead it's merely a posing threat to the terran to keep busy and delay the inevitable push he is about to do when he is on 200/200 terran is pretty strong with 3/3 weapon upgrade. While your guerilla force distracts and he attacks your recall army you can expand take more bases and make more gateways at the same time. At this point protoss should have way more bases than terran because of success of the recall in taking out the terran precious armory and a supply depot . Which than bring me to a conclusion that it's not necessary to recall those units back because they have done their job and buy the extra time to set up a new expansion for the protoss. | ||
