I think a lot of people get carried away with the whole GSL winner being the best player ever thing. oGsMC is a great player but everything he does isn't new and amazing. And I feel it's kind of ridiculous to be saying Ret made horrible decisions and played terrible. From what I saw he made standard decisions for a zerg player based on what the opponent was doing and what his economy would permit. He just attempted to be aggressive in the first game which you have to do more than kill a nexus as zerg or you will be behind any decent protoss in economy because he had to use larva for units instead of drones. Basically early aggression zerg = all-in. Most pros I see play build hydras to counter gateway units which is what he did. His army control might not have been 100% but it wasnt that lopsided of a game. The rest of the games come down to the fact that its tough to guess when to drone and when to make units. No one can be perfect with that aspect of the game, especially when in close positions. GG Ret, I feel your pain. | ||

I guess the next patch will help with the pylon wall ins a bit. Good luck in your ZvZ against Zenio. I don't think it will change much. 3 pylons instead of 2. Maybe this will be massive or maybe P just won't get such a massive lead when they do this. Who knows. | ||

MC's forcefields are superb, and forcefield pretty much counter roaches. I see a Muta Tech die to 6 Gate, i see a Hydra Tech die to 6 Gate, i see only speedlings die to 6 Gate. The only tech i see the Zerg not die straight away is the roach tech. So it seems like you have no other choice (only banelings, lol). | ||

The problem is not really about the maps. What's wrong with normal length games? The best, most fun and epic games to watch last much longer than that. Unless you have an obsession for tier 1 massing there's not much to see in a 10 minute game. | ||

StarCraft:BroodWar was playable and still is for more than 10 years not just because of making the maps bigger... If you blaim all the maps, then re-thnik about the strategy and the balance in a some parts of the game. Blaiming all the maps just doesn't make sense, also, not every single game must to be epic. | ||
