That game was played on the same version as the Cruncher game. Kiwi just didn't abuse the map to get that 3rd so fast. Cruncher's PvZ may be the most boring thing to watch ever, but he is FANTASTIC at using the architecture of the map to his advantage. | ||

Not only was every close position map removed, but bunkers take +5-10 seconds than before to make, cannot block ramps, etc. I think what summarised it for me was this post. For quite a while Terran players were despairing at being unable to keep up with Zerg economy; now the matchups are fairly even in economy (assuming the Terran applies some pressure) or harass, and we often see lategame situations that are at least sensible (i.e. if both players have 200/200, one of them hasn't lost). On the other hand, Zerg can't push its economic plays any further against an economically focused Protoss - we've seen the results of that. So I'm just as worried as the poster I link to, that the state of ZvP really will be stuck on 1 or 2-base all-in attacks from Zerg. See e.g. Idra, Morrow, Dimaga, July, Losira. | ||

PS I just unsubscribed from HD. I didn't watch him all too often anyway in past months. how does that even make sense to do? | ||

You're getting confused because IdrA was the one who knocked Kiwi into the Loser's bracket; say it was Select (winners bracket) vs Kiwikaki (Losers), Kiwi would still have to win TWO Bo5s even though IdrA knocked Kiwi into the loser's bracket | ||

Regardless of whether WB winner and LB winner have met before, the WB winner will still have 1 bo3 advantage. Let's say it was axslav and not kiwi who won Lower Bracket. Idra will still have the 1 BO3 advantage despite idra and axslav nt having met before. | ||
