I have nothing against Byun though nor regret for Nestea. Well alot of people argue that it isn't really needed and that the rampblock is a cheese on level with the 6 pool. It could be argued that with the added queen range it could actually be removed to force zergs to be more active in their defence and be vary. The new queens have allowed zergs to be alot more slacking on their defence. | ||

IMO, if zergs get a free unit that stops all all-ins (queen), then making them patrol a drone is the least they could do | ||

Call it dishonorable or what you like, but if 6 queen or some other strat gave you a rediculous advantage; why would you not use it? I would rather get a 10% win rate for a month than a 35% win rate for 3 months. Blizzard will have a faster reaction to a bigger difference in winrate. I was kind of hoping that Terran would get demolished in GSL, so they would take a longer look at the change, the fact that Byun has been able to do well everything considered; gives people an excuse to ignore it. GSL is designed so that you have a lot of time to prepare, and honestly isn't very good for talking balance. Same with GSTL, just because you have someone to snipe a certain player, doesn't mean it should be talked about in the balance discussion or in the numbers. This game has far too many disqualifying factors when it comes to statistics. How much variation and ability to have a high skill cap should be the things we focus on. This is why Terran have had some domination early on; because when a race has almost endless micro capabilities, it really shows when a player like MMA is on top of his game with insane multitasking. Of course the other races have learned to deal with this kind of thing, and the always changing meta game. tl;dr A win is a win when it comes to tournaments. It was their mistake putting it in the map to begin with. If blizzard adressed the issue in the game to begin with, there would be no problems... | ||

I was wondering if IdrA would post on this, and I more or less agree. I find it disturbing that Byun would hide something of this nature. If it was someone who didn't just recover from a previous scandal (the Byun/Coca one, if a reader doesn't know), then there would be less scrutiny. "you probably shouldn't have done that." But now it's strike # 2. It's all the more ironic that he would notice this during a game vs Coca. I don't think Byun deserves any official punishment, but a rule of thumb should probably be put into place: "if you notice something is wrong with map, don't hide it." Wording it that way, I kinda thought such a rule already existed. As to NesTea, maybe he doesn't like making official complaints, maybe he was flustered. Maybe some random thought told him: "I'm better than Byun and this doesn't really matter," only to have that completely blow up in his face. Who knows? It's really impossible to prove who would have won, one way or the other, but I think given the overall performance (I didn't see any of tonight's games, but reading the comments of others, and knowing the final score), Byun would have won anyway. Edit: Also, it's GOM's fault too/their mapmaker person, but that should go without saying, yet I feel someone will "remind" me | ||

I don't mind not having neutral depot there AS LONG AS SCV movement is predictable and Zerg player can respond with a reason. Currently, SCV movement looks random, so there is no "correct" response given a situation after bunkers are up. Random number generator could move a SCV to narrow position where Zerg player cannot reach, or it might decide to move it to open space. Everything else in game seems "deterministic" while this looks totally random. | ||

I did not think of it that way and the preplanning does put a wrinkle into my views byun's strategy for the match up. It is one thing to take advantage of an situtation that comes up during a match, like your opponent's keyboard or mouse malfunctioning. No one would has a problem with that. But pre-planning to use a feature that puts your opponent at a disadvantage, that you know has been removed from every other map, is a little to cut throat for my liking. It it had come up on only that match, he had spotted that the depot was gone and then quickly used the bunker block, that would be different. | ||

If you have the SCV at a predictable spot, then there will be spawn locations where the SCV will always be under threat of getting killed. There HAS to be the movement or else there will be cases where a Terran will just lose because he can't make a barracks, or even the supply depot | ||

By the logic you people are using, every single person who played on metropolis this season should have actually mentioned it to GOM. Metropolis has been played about what, 12 times so far this season? 12 times games have been played on it and not a single player has reported that there is a neutral supply depot lacking? As a pro player you WILL notice a neutral supply depot lacking. If this far into the season not a single player mentioned anything, then it is very very unreasonable to blame Byun and Byun alone when he actually uses the strategy a neutral supply depot was supposed to prevent. If you're going to blame a player, blame every single player that has played on Metropolis this season. Which of course would be stupid, because the blame is fully on GOM and the mapmakers. It was an honest mistake, which can always happen. | ||
