How is this map not broken for zvp. It's not even a 50/50 strat -- zerg can just go 3 hatch hydra, attack both sets of temples, and then travel through the region that toss hasn't cannoned.

As a TvT fan my dream scenario would be

Light vs Rush / Royal vs Shine on one side of the bracket
Bisu vs Soulkey / Snow vs Hero on the other side

Action is such a noble Zerg. He opted for macro play on Arkanoid lol.

I genuinely see no way for Protoss to deal with hydra bust on this map. Blindly put cannons at all 3 entrances to survive the early game, so that you have no econ, no tech and no army and will lose the late game?

Do you ever even want to open Stargate on that map? You get to scout that you will auto lose against any aggressive opener lmao
Mini not vetoing it and opening Stargate just means he never deserved to be this season's champ imo.

Not the players I initially wanted to advance, but happy the result is like this. And we didn't have to watch ZvZ ^^

Can someone enlighten me on how protoss can beat zerg on neo arkanoid when zerg goes 2-3 hatch hydra/ling?

- P has no way of probe scouting outside his base
- If P goes stargate to scout, he sacrifices ground army
- P cannot expand effectively due to the 4x chrysalis blocking nat

The only build i can think that has a slither of chance in defending is blind 3gate or blind reaver.

Isn't fast stargate into Reaver supposed to be the counter to such busts on Arkanoid?
Similar to what he did against Action earlier. Just maybe off of 1 base.
If he scouts early enough that it's an all-in, you probably need a few cannons and one well-positioned Reaver to hold easily.

Lmao don't you see that Mini's opening is fastest corsair possible and by the time the sair gets to see Zerg's main (first scout also) the hydra/ling are already knocking on his door?

He couldn't even get cannons up in time at the main entrance (hence the makeshift shield battery), do you think he can get a reaver out fast enough?

And even if he somehow gets the cannons/reaver out in time, Zerg will be just like "oh I'm gonna use the other entrance then"

Snow's reward of topping a group of 3 killer Zergs is a QF match with another Zerg. Tough luck.

Yeah unless you go reaver before stargate tech (which means the z auto wins if muta) that’s a super hard build for tosses to beat. I reckon Mini stuffed up a little by letting the lings kill two of his main cannons so easily. I reckon he could’ve held there if his probe defence was better.

Still, arkanoid is not making for very good games. There’s a reason these maps should be left in the past.

I'm just laughing at how ridiculous the map is, not being angry or offensive with you or anyone. Maybe you misinterpret the lmao but it's okay.

You're right, I forgot that starting the sentence with "Lmao don't you see" is a standard and friendly way of talking to people online. I stand corrected

He knew the game was already over at that point and judging by his body language he pretty much left both hands off the keyboard at that point. The defend after that was just him slowly processing his gg timing.

I don't know what's more shocking: Snow and Mini on 3 occasions chose to ban Allegro instead of Arkanoid, or Action decided to play macro when granted the chance for an auto win.

If you don't open stargate, you are dead against one base muta.

I love unorthodox maps. I support them all the way. But Arkanoid in its current state is too imbalanced against P and should be left out.
