Regardless, it's one small point. My argument is you'll probably see older players doing better at SC2. You guys are welcome to disagree, I'm not going to say anything more about it. | ||

Like Day9 said, oftentimes it's not the build that's the problem, it's the little things that you do or fail to do with it that counts. | ||

Tester was clearly in trouble in Game 3 when he two-gated into fast roaches (and in fact, fast roaches is part of the reason two-gate fell out of favor in the "received wisdom" of PvZ), but he was able to transition successfully into a win despite having the weaker build, simply by virtue of his mechanics being so strong. Like Day9 said, oftentimes it's not the build that's the problem, it's the little things that you do or fail to do with it that counts. 2 gate isnt weak vs roaches, stalkers hard counter them early on in low numbers. it never fell out of favor, its the most common pvz build on asia cuz nothing really counters it. | ||

Idra mis-microd somewhat in that final battle with the corruptors coming in 2-3 seconds late. I think he would have won g3 if not for that. He obviously had an advantage after shutting down the void ray attempt so hard. | ||

Check Day[9]`s thread for Blip.tv/Ustream on-demand links later or perhaps TL youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/nevake | ||

In my opinion we'll see more strategic geniuses (like Tester, who is a coach) and less 15 year old mechanical monkeys doing well in SC2 because it's a slower paced game with less mechanical requirements. Sounds like a logical argument to me. this. because of the easier engine in sc2, strategy > mechanical monkeys. and thats great. | ||
