Had Mini gone 12 Nexus in the two games he went forward Gate vs cross spawn Terran, the score would probably have been 4-1 by now and heavily masked his subpar play today. He was obviously better against Queen and Effort in those series where he 4-0 or 4-1'd them, but BO luck was also on his side back then. I was thinking about past years and the way the maps evolved while watching old series from MSL and Gomtv classic and i cant help but back then the maps were more open to skill expression and creativity. Modern maps have really stale the meta to the point that basically almost everymatchup is about what build order give and edge. Those guys are now so close in skill (When i say skill is the way the play with the standard maps we do have these days ) that what matter really is what build they go for. And the thing is im not sure how do you fix this and if you can even go back to try more interesting designs. Ofc im not talking about sparkle /third world. More like old school maps like Colosseum . Medusa. Harmony etc. Peaks of Baekdu | ||
