Protoss wins on that map in ASL were against lesser foes - jyj and Tinkle come to mind. You are free to elaborate why the map is Terran favoured or you can be edgy. Any discussion is preferable to throwing thinly veiled balance whine. I apologize in advance if that's not what you meant. Most arguments have been made already. My general sentiment is towards the common brigade of people assaulting every new map as imbalanced because "Terran can't win on it" when all is said and done, actual results and games indicated otherwise. Blockchain being the perfect example for it. In short: Terrans love to whine about maps no matter what, and I fricking hate it. | ||

When all is said and done, it is, as per usual, individual Terrans emerging as multiple winners. | ||

Uh, are you serious? This thread is to discuss and comment on the games as they happens and after the matter. If you read here, it's entirely your own fault for getting spoiled. | ||

All of the talk was about how everything was designed to take down Flash and Terrans when the actual imbalanced map, Transistor, was not even in the discussion. So many hot takes with no actual technical points to base it on. | ||

And I also feel it's almost always mentioned how Snow did beat him on Gladiator (generally considered balanced), to point out that they're not putting all the credit to the maps, but that Snow really did play good enough to earn his win. | ||

Fair point. Keep in mind that I'm also talking here about general SC people, not just this forum. Here people are generally quite astute in their analysis for the most part. | ||

I think it's safe to assume what they are doing is legal in Korea. If not, fine, blame them. I think it's better to blame either US copyright laws, or to blame Youtube's erring on a side that clobbers fair use. It wouldn't surprise me if what afreeca is doing falls under fair use provisions even in US copyright law, but who the heck wants to try to get youtube to reverse that block? (for every single one) If I were afreeca, I wouldn't bother-- being content to do what's reasonable (posting to YT for the fans outside Korea) and let the fans direct complaints to the right place. | ||

I was watching Soulkey's stream of the finals with commentary simply because it was the first place I found the finals on YouTube. And just in game one, he was getting lag, and had to go change settings somehow when it just died completely. I'm not so sure it even works that well in Korea? -_- | ||

So let me get this right...the record doesn't count because it wasn't standard games, although these are played between top pros at the highest level, but it does count when Terran has anything close to a losing record or god forbid, equal win/loss record to the other races. Yeah I think I get it now. Thanks. Uhhh no, it is absolutely correct and logical to not take a sample size of 4 cheese games as indicative of fucking anything regarding a map's balance. | ||

Mini showing much much better and complicated games against same opponents Rain got defeated already and in general... And the fact Mini does that by wining a game from a big dissadvantage conquering his own mind just calls for so good story of ones deep improvement not only in game but in character and spirit. Thats the protoss spirit! This side of his is truly spectacular, however, he is not fast enough to be the best imo, either protoss or player, every game when the pressure came, he was banking a lot, in one of the games I think number 3, I was absolutely sure that there was a spectator's bug and it stopped showing mini's spent resources so they are piling there infinitely. This is not Warcraft 3, piling resources is always wrong and harmful. | ||
