I was sorely SORELY dissapointed that after that perfect protoss video when I scrolled down to zerg/terran, they didn't have similar videos in their sections.

Good article!

The fact that map diversity has to be (mostly) sacrificed in order to have balanced stats is somewhat sad to me tho.

But who cares i'll just 2rax all my games

TEOITA LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO:
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/471429-why-im-going-to-cheese-every-game#1

Looks like I will have to bring some fun builds back from the dead. I especially love the cannon rush locations you pointed out.

Will be most more interesting to make an article on how to counter these cheeses, the guys on the ladder don't really need some idea to decide to cheese.

Fun fact: i discovered the one in the main by getting cannon rushed myself. It was awesome, rage inducing and horrifying at the same time.

The sad thing is that maxing roach ,or roach hydra is pretty much a standard to stop all this bullshit, and it sucks because it is easy to stop , these maps are garbage and I am so mad that they brought all of them back.....the old map pool was so much nicer.....why does blizzard want people all inning more ....so stupid.......

Why is there no 1-1-1 build?

The strength of the 1-1-1 was the map pool and short rush distances, the Nexus cannon doesn't change that if you include a Raven with PDD.

I'm certain it is impossible stop close spawns on Metalopolis. The first Banshee shows up at your base in essentially no time, and then tanks are sieging up your base only a few minutes later.

Metalopolis is forced cross spawn, or at least no close by air

i'm not sure what's better - the ladder tears of people who have just been bullshitted or the forum tears of people who think TL has a responsibility to push the macro meta down people's throats XD so nice

in all seriousness 3 vetoes is more than enough to make this pool fine for standard play

Because "Macro" play is actual skill, and not what gives you the win screen

this is sarcasm

IMO anything that gives you a win requires skill, be it macro or cheese

Ok a lot of these "old" build can still be used today, and some are harder to do on the older maps. Take the cannon rush illustration for example..yeah if you get that many pylons down to block paths to the cannons no shit its going to cancel/kill a hatch. The maps is the dream pool really aren't that bad or imbalanced on a whole. Just veto metal, shakuras, and xnc and the pool is pretty good imo.
