Queen is the #1 z, the maps suck for protoss, and best isn't anywhere near Queen's level.He even might be closer to his level on an average day... but today was bad. That being said, G1 wasn't as awful as we portray it. It was a well-defended cannon rush (well there's a reason nobody except bisu does those though) and it went downhill from there. The 2-stargate bait was actually a good idea that Zero either sniffed out or just didn't catch the bait, assuming he's ahead anyway. Two stargates producing a grand total of 1 sair looked pathetic, but it was a product of a high-level play. We shouldn't judge just based on the end product. The shuttle flying into 20 hydras was ugly af, though. In G2 I was screaming IS THIS GOON/REAVER but I suppose the timings don't work out; I'm not familiar with the build anyway. Would've liked another cannon or two at the egg line, though. G3 was standard ZvP where Z manages to kill a bunch of HTs through smart tactics. Underwhelming anyway. I was expecting something far closer, not necessarily the result, but rather the games. | ||

If you try to just go reavers, zerg can freely just build muta or scourge to just scourge down your shuttle and then your reaver is going to do jack all. You can't go sair/HT/Reaver you just dont have the gas. Hopefully 973 gets nerfed in the next map pool, I have faith in Gyuyul to fix it. He did try with this pool but it was just not the way. There IS an up and coming 6 gate with an 8 gate variant that does well but it's SO tight and SO micro intenstive, and Zerg is so flexible in 973 that it might not end up working, we'll see. | ||

Tuning in a bit late, complaining to myself that ASL does not add filler as I see only 1H30 youtube video, game 1 starting 25 minutes in, I smell the 3 0, start watching , utterly failed canon rush, the whole series being spoiled in like 2 minutes. Add fillers asl please. I use "Anticipation" in Chrome. Works perfectly, except for the first 1-2 seconds. | ||

Add fillers asl please. If you go to SC2links.com it hides the game length for you. It usually adds the vod within the same day. Regarding the games, obviously the Zergs who best protoss were better players, but these maps really sucked the fun out of a boX series. | ||

How about tweaking the maps? Slightly longer distance between main and expo? Mineral-only natural expo? 3rd and 4th expos semi-blocked by eggs? I suppose too many map tweaks may tip balance too far towards Protoss. But the overriding idea is to provide some 'timing windows' for Protoss to pressure Zergs. | ||

Zero was literally laughing out loud/smirking while playing the games today. | ||

I suppose too many map tweaks may tip balance too far towards Protoss. But the overriding idea is to provide some 'timing windows' for Protoss to pressure Zergs. A few changes I'd like to see: * Both the main and the natural on high ground * Areas controlled in the center on low ground * Third on high ground with a single ramp I just want maps that make the early to mid game defense manageable and a third that is obtainable. I don't care about PvT imbalances lol. | ||
