Stalkers and Hydras trade 1 for 1 against each other, and Stalkers cost more. I'm certain people have tested this, the Stalkers win with Blink and good handspeed, but the Hydras win if they're on creep and can get the concave quicker, and have a smaller hitbox for forming concaves. I'm certain that Stalkers and Hydras are nearly equal, the attack speed of a Hydra is about twice that of a Stalker (meaning the Hydra attacks twice when the Stalker attacks once), the damages are pretty close, with the Hydra being higher, and the Stalker has twice the health of the Hydra. Edit: On that note - If you're comparing pure Hydra versus Gateway units, lets compare pure Colossus versus Marine/Marauder - oh wait, the Colossi get slaughtered because they need meat shields in order to not die instantly. Take some of these comparisons with a grain of salt, it's obviously not just pure Hydras are excellent. | ||

I've heard of setting the bar low, but come on... I don't see so much hate on TSL/GSL chats. And to no battles are choppy... are u reading the posts here? Yeah, I'm telling you that. Fuck you go make your own starleague and stop hating on 5 hours of free content a day. User was warned for this post | ||

*khaldor drops* Gretorp: *sigh* Khaldor.... what a failiure. Khaldor: That's what my mom told me my whole life. I love making "awkward" jokes just like this ^^. By the way why isn't Incontrol casting this? I don't see him playing in any of these games, what made him not cast? | ||

Don't defend them, constructive criticism is important. Clearly there are issues that need to be addressed. Deal with it. | ||

I am satisfied with their performance because they are demonstrating an ability to adapt to problems they face. The Khaldor issue was before the sound person came in to work with them, since it was recorded earlier than the rest of the matches; the Gretorp/iNcontrol sound in the first two series was fantastic. Were you there when TSL was lagging/crashed? They instantly compared it to MLG as a disaster of epic proportions. And I specifically said no battles were choppy before the second series today, or the day before, or any other time that I remember; this seems to be a new issue, but they're doing their utmost to address it, that's why the stream is going down. And GSL season one got hated on mercilessly as well. | ||

they've had plenty of other days where the stream was smooth for almost the entire cast, so hope they figure out what was causing the lag issue for today but I don't think they'll have it figured out before today's broadcast is done. | ||

Think of it like if Hydras were Collosus... straight up a Collosus will lose to 2 Marauders... but if you have Stalkers keeping Marauders away from you're Collosus, then the Collosus can dish out serious DPS. Same applies to Hydras, they need something to keep them out of range and protect them; Hydras do have 6 range ofc, longer than all Gateway units. | ||
