I don't know... Reasonably speaking, we can acknowledge that the game was created by *humans*. There are going to be balance imperfections. Some bigger than others.

And these guys are playing for a LOT of money. And this is supposed to be a contest of skill. Which is pride and talent demonstration.

Balance IS and *should* be a concern for these guys. I'm not saying balance is an issue *here*, but no one should ever belittle balance discussion. Balance should always be discussed.


Not in LR threads, it shouldn't.


Did you learn that in the last thread?

Oh man Jangminchul got raped...
But on game 2 I don't understand why he just didn't put a probe near his natural, he knew polt had marauders close-by. Also after he got his nexus sniped, why didn't he invest in some cannons?

450-600 on cannons and the nexus wouldve still died. He had no intention of having the marauders live in the first place.


4 Marauders does not kill 3 cannons that easily.


The -8- Marauders that killed the main Nexus would not have died to cannons before killing the Nexus. He's not suggesting you should attack the cannons, instead just ignore them.

Blink stalkers can still abuse and any map w/ a back entrance makes 4gate and any early aggression extremely strong. The natural is too wide open that it's ridiculously difficult to defend again, well, anything.

Hmmm... I would think they would have to give their VETO's at the start of the tournament and could only choose once, no? Would be weird if they could choose every game for every opponent...

To the people just saying marauders are OP, how the hell did Iron get 2000 points on ladder?! maybe he just didn't play any terrans on the way?


Maybe he was just really nervous playing a televised match??


What I mean is: surely he's beaten thousands of terrans before playing Polt without a problem, were all those other Terrans he's beaten OP? but he just so happened to consistently beat them? I doubt it. He just got played by polt.

so much whine, c'mon. Toss had late expo, less units, no canons to snipe incomming dropships, he lost the nexus twice to the same sneak-in marauder group. How can you even say that marauders won him the game, for gods sake toss didnt even try to warp in units at his main to save his nexus.

It's always the same thing, if your race wins = "amazing play", if your race loses = "its clearly balance issues". It's reapers, its marauders, its tanks, lol c'mon, every unit?

Poltprime is going to go far. Both builds of his show lots of preparation. What a lot of people don't notice is how quickly and efficiently he got his expo up while maintaining great unit production in that 2nd game.


Yea I didn't understand that, I thought that if you expo so early you would automatically lose to a rush? Did Jangminchul tech too much?

By expoing quickly, it forces the protoss to make a quick decision about whether they will choose to put on early pressure or expand and keep up economically. Thanks to far spawning distances, Poltprime's build probably could have held even the later. It really was some ingenious play.

Me? I never bring up balance BS, in LR threads or in any threads. I'm a big fan of actually trying to figure the game out, as opposed to crying until my patch demands are met.

Chipmunk sends 12 or so lings to cancel zandarke's nexus. They are cleaned up, nexus restarted. Lots of sentries from toss.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Stop talking balance in live report threads

so we cant voice our honest opinion about the games we see? whats the point of a LR thread then? If I see 2 players and think one is much better than the other but the winner abuses a totally imbalanced strat or map I cant comment on the game at all? Its like keeping map balance out of a LR thread back when they played DMZ 2on2 in PL. Some situations just force certain topics upon the discussion

There's a difference between commenting reasonably about a game and just whining about (im)balance.
