Felt like a BW Korean vs foreginer game lol (which it kinda was). yeah, Bisu vs that one german kid (Draco maybe?) i dont remember. had the same outcome though. I think Machine was betting on a fake double gate, where MC would send out only a few zealots and then follow up with quick stalkers to counter the roaches but he just kept sending them... oh well. | ||

I can't wait until we get to week 7/8/9. Looks like MC will atleast get out of the group stage. Even right now hes just barely outside of the top 30 so he should make it easily. | ||

It doesnt make sense. Crossfire is just a bad map. Let's walk through this. The first post was about how this is a bad map for Zerg. They the Nestea says wassup post. Then you say you can't use Nestea because he is the best Zerg in the world. So I bring up Catz winning on the map. And then you say this is machine vs MC who happens to be the best protoss in the world. The reason for not including the best players at their respective races is because they are most likely just better than their opponent, which is why they won the games rather than map fairness. So Nestea winning on Crossfire has to do with him being the best, not the map. Just like MC winning on Crossfire has to do with him being the best, not the map. Hence why you can't say you can't cite Nestea as an example and then cite MC as one. | ||

Don't get me wrong, sC played fabulous (and I'm not one to like Bunker rushes) but Nestea was repeatedly stymied by the narrow chokes and ridiculous amount of varied high ground from which to tank push/drop. Crossfire is a terrible map, balance wise. Most pros recognize this and I'm surprised every time I see it in a tournament map pool. Absolutely no reason to choke the map that much so that every screen has a ramp and/or elevation change from which you can shell your opponent. And all this coming from someone who believes that race balance is fine (disregarding maps). | ||

And all this coming from someone who believes that race balance is fine (disregarding maps). I agree it's not the best map, some cool runarounds have happened on it though like July v Huk and Incontrol v Ensnare but in general zerg has a hard time with the chokes and positioning in the center grants too much of an advantage in the other matchups. I think Backwater is a map that is terribly imbalanced but not for a specific race but for specific spawn locations. If the counter clockwise thirds were moved closer (not sure on this) or cross positions forced it might have been a cool map | ||

Player skill has nothing to do with Crossfire being a shitty map for zerg You can't point to a few zerg wins on the map and say therefore it must not be shitty If you're just discussing how this guy is using examples, you're practically arguing semantics, which would seem like kind of a worthless post to me MC is definitely better than Machine though. even if he has been slumping | ||
