Boxer is damn exciting. Man, I swear, every time the guy plays a game it has the potential to be a classic. He's an incredible, and incredibly unique, player.

i just went afk for 4min and boxer won after cloud made that drop? can someone explain to me what happened?

+ Show Spoiler +

cloud was more or less pure marine medivac with 2-2 on the way. boxer dropped the ramins of an earlier drop at cloud's natural while he simultaneously set up siege tanks on the low ground. He elevated his marines into cloud's base and the tanks killed most of cloud's marines and could hit his production facilities while boxer's 3 marines killed 17 scvs and 2 mules at the natural.

Wtf was cloud doing? He barely built anything after that first attack. If he added some siege tanks that attack wouldn't have done much.

It is so brutal when you finally realize you are being dropped during an attack, and wonder where exactly all those gatherers you used to have are. Cloud looked and typed gg.

Some things even quantum physics can't understand.

Boxer sieged on low ground, lifted his marine into Cloud's base, harassed his nat with 3 rines. Cloud ran his rines into siege fires, GG.

My guess is that Boxer used the Continuum Transfunctioner to alter space and time..and that game..I tabbed out for 20 seconds, after it seemed like he was pretty far behind..and I have no idea what happened

Thats not what metagame means >_<

Anyway, how is complaining / remarking that a race is better in the games current state not balance whine? Isn't it so much better to just ignore balance and attribute wins / losses to the players themselves? Also, the stream isn't working for me right now so I took 3 minutes to do this lol. From this nasl thread alone:

doesnt really matter if it fails or not because roaches and lings are pretty much free. its funny how zerg can go all in like that, except its not really an all in. if zerg kills like 2-3 sentrys, they can basicly come out ahead even if every single roach/ling die.

funny how zerg can just throw away like 20-30 supply of units and still come out on par with the protoss. How can Protoss punish a zerg in this situation?

Can gretorp and bitter please stop sucking idras dick? they are talking like idra has three times better macro than Tyler and like tyler "knows" this. they both have incredible macro, its just that Zerg on four bases can get to 200 supply faster than protoss. thats game mechanics.

Mr. Bitter NEEDS to stop talking like a zerg player has "better macro" because they are ahead of protoss in supply.

Again, you seem like the most cynical guy ever, and you always obsess over how race X might give an advantage over race Y.

So because i have a different opinion, that means i am cynical?
Also, that is exactly what meta-game means. Zergs are currently winning because they have figured out how to beat the builds that many protoss players have been using to great success for quite a while, and now its protoss turn to figure out how to beat the new zerg builds. = the meta-game has shifted.
