No, it's not. Its some very basic hardware knowledge that today every child knows....


Just because you know about this it does not mean everybody does. I know quite a few gamers that simply don't care about their pc specs. They simply buy a computer that is already configurated or put everything in it that brings the most power.

A promotion that can only be understood by some nerds is a) not needed (because the "nerds" know about it and b) would only confuse average viewers that walk by or sit there to watch these "esports" things.

Does the HD stream keep buffering for anyone else? It isn't constantly, but still often enough to make it quite annoying to watch.

Is on your end, been fine for me since the first game of the day.


There's no way my connection can't handle it. Particularly since I watched GSL in HQ with no problems an hour ago.

You must be joking. Do you think the event would be possible without the sponsors? Either they get their 10 minutes/day promoting their product on the stream and you get an awesome tournament to watch or you get nothing to watch at all. You choose.

Protoss is just beyond ridiculous. I'm sorry to say that, but Phoenix buff is just not reasonable by Blizzard. And if you say its because MorroW commited to the roachrush, its not true. It can look absolutely the same even with hydras on the field, since you can just lift up everything and Hydras suffer even more from Phoenixdamage.


Sure it's true, it's exactly that to be honest.

Simple math proves it:
One phoenix costs 150/100, one roach costs 75/25. This means, you spend 150/100 to be able to lift off a 75/25 unit. This is not cost-efficient at all. If you go for that in a "normal" game you have nowhere near the gateway-count to kill stuff, pure mass-roaches from a good 2-base economy would stomp you into the ground.


You are being ridiculous. You want to go into math? Lets go on the hardcounter map. We've seen Adelscott put enormous pressure just with gatewayunits. They become insanely strong with the abilities they have (forcefield, guardian shield) and due to the range of the roach its not really able to make full potential of its "costs".

-_- and if 50% of you army is lifted its worth 0. Well not exactly zero since you still have to kill them, but 50% of your army can be nullified within seconds.
Yes, 50% of your army can be NULLIFIED within seconds. That's the whole point, nullfied and NOT killed. When I invest more ressources into "nullfying" something without actually being able to kill it, it's NOT cost-efficient.
.


That's where you are wrong. Nullifying something is better than killing - that's the whole point. If your phoenixes lift up my 8 hydras, not to mention they are going to kill most of them, my hydras were dealing 0 damage!


The phoenixes that are doing the lifting are also doing 0 damage, so the point is moot. Phoenixes don't just disable units. They disable themselves in the process.

This is why you need more phoenixes than hydras, or a lot of gateway support.

Just wanted to ask, if two people get the same number of points, do they play like a tiebreaker or something?

Since they are playing BO3 I reckon they would look at how the scores in the games went (one player went 8-5 and other went 8-6, player that went 8-5 advances) and/or look at the result in their BO3.


Yea, I was thinking that too, I am trying to see which players are out and which are still in. I think the tiebreaker will probably be the series the two players played against each other?

Im sorry to say, but Ace is just better than Morrow in this series. Nothing to do with Imbalances.


He raped IdrA the same way. With what was the Phoenix buff reasonable? Its a 200 HP (80 Shields, 120 HP) unit , fastest in the game with a very unique ability. I don't see the reason why you would buff its building time when it was insanely good to begin with.

Also the Colossus - the other tech tree - 350 HP Range 6 in the beginning, range 9 after with 30 AoE damage. Its just ridiculous and Blizzard just nerfed the wrong stuff with the Templar. (well it was the right nerf, but the nerf was too hard while leaving the Colossus WHICH DOES COUNTER EVERYTHING(!) better than its designed counters better than them untouched) -_-

Holy damn, you sure like whining. I always see you in these LR thread complaining about imbalances and why the german player didnt advance bla bla bla. Yeah, sure you obviously know better than Blizzard, who has 100 000 matches of data to go by to balance the game. Why don't you aply for a blizzard job?


He is not whining but stating his opinion, and it is widely accepted that PvZ is broken! even Protoss programers say it (Hell even Ace himself said it, check Artotsis interview!), so ......

Plus blizzard makes mistakes and are constantly balancing the game. look at the amount of times they have been tinkering with the bunker alone..

My point being: Stop talking about balance all together. its useless. Focus on improving your own game because if you're losing, it was YOU who did something wrong, not anything else. Watch the replay, analyze what you did wrong, what could've been done differently etc. Being stuck in this "Pheonixes are just too good" mentality does nothing but hurt you in improving.


lol i bet you wouldn't say that to idra


I would :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

Tell me that doesn't describe IdrA to a T. And most of the TL forums for that matter...

Except IdrA is the actual progamer here, and you posting this "cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions" is the exact definition of this.

Just stop insulting progamers. IdrA isn't even allowed to defend his opinions.

(my opinion)its not really that 1 unit is OP for protoss. its just easy for them to force you todo 1 thing. and they just "counter" that. wich you have to "counter" again, and so on, your always trailing the facts.

Very strange that they are playing on 4:3 screens. Must feel really fucked up, I did'nt even think they made screens in 4:3 anymore
I am not young enough to know everything.
