It's like everyone downvoted that game 3 was bad on Sparkle just because it was an island map. It was actually a cool good game. Wrong. Absolutely wrong. People hate Sparkle because it is IMBALANCED. It gives a CLEAR advantage to one race. Nobody cares if it is a slower paced or different strats come out, that is fine. | ||

Might be worth it on that one map | ||

Maybe he was bluffing, but he said that he's so confident on Sparkle that he's moved on to preparing for other maps. | ||

Nobody cares if it is a slower paced or different strats come out, that is fine. Are you kidding me? Just because terrans seem to be incapable of adapting to an island map doesn't mean it's imbalanced. It's way too early to say anything about balance because it still needs to be figured out. The biggest problem right now is that terrans refuse to play the economic game on a map that prevents early harass. I mean, terrans love to go Rax-CC or 14CC on normal maps but here they go 2 port wraith before CC which does absolutely nothing because the zerg has already defense up by the time the wraiths come out. Take the game in this series for example. 2 port wraith, didn't do any damage. The only advantage had was map control. What would you normally do when you have map control and the opponent has no way of attacking you? Expanding. When did he start his third? At 11.30. Really? He started his third when Hero was finally starting to build up a force to regain some of that map control. Then Mind started mass-expanding. It was already too late at that point, sorry. You don't go 2 port on a normal map and let the zerg get away with 3 bases without taking damage and still expect to win the game. Why would you expect a win on Sparkle? To address the other games, I feel like they played on even footing. Game 1 should have been Mind's. He had a good timing, just 10 seconds too late. He played a good harass game and had Hero pinned against the wall. However, after he killed the third and fourth he decided it would be a good idea to sacrifice half his vessels to erase a handful of drones, which Hero didn't need in that moment. That and his general sloppiness regarding his vessels lost him the game. He never really got a fleet together to fight the defilers and ultras. Game 2 Mind basically won with the first push. He forced enough lings and sunkens (that did nothing) at the muta timing so Hero never had the chance to put on any pressure or take a third after. Game 4 was pretty well played by both. Not much to say, Mind just managed to overwhelm Hero before his economy really kicked in. Game 5 was weird. 2 port wraith again. I would have liked to see a repeat of Game 1 and with a stronger focus on saving vessels. It was nice to see the micro battles but Mind lost the game when he lost most of his wraith fleet when he moved out with his marines. | ||

Now I get warning for saying rapid/noregrets commentary wasn't good. You're doing a great service to the community TL. Just like Activision... User was temp banned for this post. Hey bro, I can tell you are very excited about live Brood War and that's great, but I think you need to calm down and use this time to reflect on your posts. There's a reason people are calling you obnoxious and asking you to stop posting. When you have 50+ posts in a thread that is not even that large, perhaps you should be asking yourself "Is this really something that needs to be said?" before you hit that "Post" button. We're all here to watch some Brood War and have a good time, so we need to be respectful of each other and not pollute threads with whatever pops into our head. | ||

In case you don't know what's going on, the creep does not extend to the third base when you build it near the edge, but it prevents the creep from despawning once the creep is there. Mind blowing. | ||
