Nice article once more, but you couldn't be more wrong about Daybreak, Waxangel. You seem to condemn it for consistently producing macro games but it produces macro games which are multi-task orientated and I doubt there are many avid gsl watchers who share the same opinion as you, it has produced the best games in recent times.

Completely disagree with the criticism of daybreak. Some of the best games ever were played on that map, and it continues to do best in terms of balance and entertainment. The author should look at the scores he gives and take an average for every map. I bet Daybreak's average game rating is one of the best. When was the last good game played on dual site?

Boring macro games result from the players, not the maps. I would say the only advantage of a smaller map is that it will take less the time for the game to be over and done it.

Wait... an other player is leaving TSL ? It's like all their good players of 6 month ago are not even in the team anymore, but somehow I feel they will still manage to win games in the GSTL :D

Oh crap. I Liquibetted on Brown, now with both Artosis and Fionn hyping him I regret my decision already.

artosis' high hopes for protosses everywhere could be their downfall, unfortunately.

My Predictions:
Brown>Alive
Happy>MarineKing
Alive>MarineKing
Brown>Happy
Alive>Happy
Sorry to MarineKing fans, but his play just didn't seem up to code s par recently especiallly in Homestory Cup, so I picked Alive and Brown to advance. Brown because he's a good protoss and we need more toss in code s seeing as out of the 12 that have qualified so far, 6 are terran, 3 are toss, and 3 are zerg. I also want Artosis to finally be right about a protoss champion. I picked Alive because I think he is the more solid of the two bio terrans at the moment, and I believe his bio is good enough to beat the mech of happy. As for the team change, I don't think that it will affect him enough that he won't advance. In conclusion, MKP and Happy will probably advance just because I'm terrible at this.

Waking up at 3:00 AM tomorrow to catch some MKP action.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Contraversial as always. Fun though.

I can't tell if the talk about Alive and Happy were honest or merely hype. Brown for his part as mentioned comes from a long tradition. MKP for his part is just an enigma. Popular yes but is that merited? He lost some of his shine when he chose marineking over Foxer and so has his play to some degree though he's back to posting results. Blargh I'm just a negative nancy about group F. T_T

The daybreak opinion is also one to see bandied about but difficult to entertain. Fundamnetally if we want some variety maps of dualsight and cross fire have to be paired (if we're nice) with Calm before the storm and Daybreak. To be fair there is plenty of potential remaining in map design... I'm personally waiting for an SC2 version of Battle Royale to pop out. GSL has been cautious so far but I'll agree I wouldnt mind seeing one bit of kookiness next season if diversity remains on the up and up.

Although it obviously doesn't matter, I found it a bit jarring that the text told us in no uncertain terms that Happy and Alive are amazing Terrans who should be getting vastly more cred than they currently are... and then promptly and unceremoniously dumps them both into Code A.

Lamenting the macro map (Daybreak sucks): Move aside Terminus. I've found a new map where I can fast-forward to the eleven minute mark in every game. To an almost scary lack of exception, Daybreak means three base. While other TL staffers thought Daybreak was good enough to be map of the year, personally I'm finding the lack of variation on the map to be a pretty boring. Sure, the numbers say it's one of the most balanced maps in competitive play, and I like that for the players. But as a viewer, the horribly imbalanced Dual Sight 1.0 provided some much more entertaining, epic games.


THANK YOU! Finally waxangel writes something I wholeheartedly agree with. I was completely taken aback when daybreak won map of the year. For those of you players I guess I can understand that you like balanced macro maps, but as someone who only spectates I don't find daybreak exciting at all. Sure it has its fair share of exciting games but when it comes to crappy games it's better for them to end quickly rather than drag out forever.

You are correct.

I hope Brown can surprise us all, and extend his 6 game win streak. But it will be an uphill battle.

Alive never seems to get any credit. I doubt very hard he will go 0-2. Imo he is favoured against Brown.
