That was a super exciting game, pvp is legitimately my favorite mirror.

I'm a bit of a "noob" so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point of base advantage was that you can beat early aggression by macroing with the safety given by the timing advantage as your opponent has to take his army across the map. Seems like PvP kind of sucks because Warpgates/Proxy Pylons remove that, narrowing the options available and makes early aggression so viable that you have to prepare to defend against it too much to really come up with some unique, macro-orientated style. And yes, you can proxy in BW, but there it's more obvious, more risky and deviates a lot more from standard builds.

Hopefully the matchup develops into something unrecognisable because it's really pretty boring. I can't see any sort of solution. I think a big help for most matchups would be larger maps but that would likely make it even worse for PvP.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

After that last match all I can think about are the folks complaining about the lack of micro in SC2 when beta launched...

Are people that surprised about the amount of micro? I mean it's a low econ game.

edit: Not to say the micro wasn't impressive.

Not as much the amount, just how cool the micro was.

I love these games. But in the long run I think the map-pool is the real problem with SC2 as an E-sport. Its too in your face and gets too cheesy (prolly will get more and more cheesy over time). The mapsizes needs to be increased. Increased by alot in my opinion, so that tactical movement and small chokes doesnt become so important. Why isnt there even 1 map without a choke? Or even one map were it would take quite alot of time to move your forces across.



Yeah, I was watching MSL today, and the map are so huge, really lead into macro games, and that's what SC2 needs also I think. THe current maps all allow for one base pushes

kiwikaki really shows the strength of a former wc3-player - I love it, that's why I play protoss too, you can get sooo much out of your units with proper micro

Losers bracket winner has to face the winners bracket final and beat them in 2 series. If they've already played, then instead it becomes 1 best of 7 with the previous series score added on first.

How is showing the same commercial twice in one commercial break effective advertising?

They make it very clear to you that for such a tourney the producers of consumer goods arent actually lining up to pay for such events. Its all about connecting the brand to the viewer, they try to connect sensual experience (for instance exitement about a starcraft game) to the Logo. Look at advertising for stuff like Oil of Olaz (which is owned by Proctor&Gamble too just like old spice), they use a similiar approach: its all about the audience not the product. Now imagine you are going to buy some shower gel next time. You are now (because of this stream perhaps) more likely to open an old spice one and then the next step kicks of marketing techniques for fast moving consumer goods kick in: the smell.

The ads are pretty humorous and I think that they're something that the average gamer might find funny and entertaining. At least the Old Spice ads which are the best ever. Not the Odor Blocker thing though..

Yes agreed. pretty witty stuff, dont like the one with the guy in the hospital and the mans ass: they are making me feel uncomfortable which is bad for actually selling the product.
I would like to know what the actual cost of such an event is (including organization and rent for rooms/pcs etc) because i want to know the $spent per viewer :_D
edit: sadly you cant see the number of people watching the stream :-((
