Honestly Soma's almost too good. It's like auroboros or some shit. He's goin so fast and hitting every mark he goes back in time and is AFK during his match and loses to some weak shit. Or himself. I bet his off-race is BANGA. I thought ivOry played pretty good but had some questionable greed going on and some banana peel moments. If we get a PvZ finals where Soma's the Z I'm gonna grow a rubbery one. | ||

How :O No, as I understand it remastered fixed Valkyrie splash damage by removing the occasions where sprite limits caused rockets to not spawn and hence not do damage. Affecting muta balance versus T from the other direction. | ||

I don't believe they ever actually fixed that, they planned to but I think either never put it in or removed it because it broke something else. Either way that wouldn't have any affect on the games we see right now it's only affected when the sprite limit is reached and that isn't done early game. It's mainly in late game with 200/200 but it's mainly when there's more than 2 people. | ||

I don't think valks were ever busted in pro BW scene because of sprite limit.. only hard to micro until pros sorta figured it out in 2008/2009 with fantasy build. It does seem like valk micro has gotten a lot better in the last few years since Remastered came out (same as with muta micro), possibly due to turn rate being increased? But might just be that pros have gotten a lot better at it by having even more years of experience with it. | ||

As others have said, the sprite limit rarely (or perhaps never) affects regular 1v1. | ||

Hahaha my wife and I only tuned it for this last group and when we saw the Ro16 list, we were like I betcha Zergs are still bitching about something. On valks — I still clearly remember the TL writeup that had a pic of Fantasy, Oov, and Boxer. The caption was “Hyung, this little nooblet wants to use Valkyries in TvZ. I keep telling him no but he wont listen. Imma make him scrub toilets all weekend.” | ||

That's the whole reason why we're seeing them being used more now. As others have said, the sprite limit rarely (or perhaps never) affects regular 1v1. What's the difference between modern valk micro and what is described in this thread from 2009? https://tl.net/forum/bw-strategy/98125-valkyrie-micro YT video showing it: Fantasy doing it in 2009 (you can see him failing it a lot beforehand though haha): | ||

and wasn't the 100 sprite missile limit or whatever it's called like all the sprites on the screen at once including the valks, or only the valks? i could be completely wrong about everything tho, lol | ||

Game 2 I can’t really say what Flash’s build was, but the story here was Zero got the better of him in the opener when Flash did his typical fast scout to confirm 12hatch before he does a very fast expo. Zero hid his natural expansion so Flash’s expo timing and build was messed up. In the interview, Flash said he was mentally preparing for a loss before somehow pulling out the win. Game 3 I’m not sure if it was a mech switch midway, but essentially Flash got a group of vultures in and decimated Zero. It wasn’t game ending but down 2-0 against Flash with that much of a deficit, it might as well have been. | ||

I'm really looking forward to Ample's TvZ if he can knock out monstrous herO or late game unbeatable SoulKey so Bisu has chance to get out. | ||
