We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum. Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service. Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out. -- updated 7:55 KST | ||

Isn't this obvious that hydras needs tanks for damage absorbing??? That's is why you have roaches... or even lings... Why Idra haven't built any of them??? I don't get it. Idra concentrates all the time on his mechanics and on things to blame (himself, imbalance) and in the end he misses the important concepts of the game... Hydras need tanks! | ||

1.- Koreans are the better SC2 players: All koreans (except for moon) performed very well on pool play, while dealing with jetlag. Koreans in the championship bracket were only eliminated by koreans. Top 3 is all-korean. I think it's proof enough, even if I think the foreigner pool could be a bit stronger, I don't think the results would be too different. 2.- Nani is best foreigner protoss, hands down. Idra's position as best foreigner zerg is kinda doubtful, you can't be the best with that terrible mindset. 3.- Thorzain is a great player and TSL3 wasn't a fluke at all. Sheth shows TONS of promise, as do Major and ViBe, for the foreigner scene. 4.- Koreans are better showmakers as far as gaming stuff go. This whole "MC SO BM" thing is ridiculous, he's putting up a show. This is why MC's "BM" is different from idra's. He uses it to entertain the crowd, not to randomly dish shit like Idra does all the time. We could see how MC actually feels about his opponents. He very respectfully hand shook with nani and moon, and probably T-zain as well. 5.- Tastosis is funnier that Day/WHEAT, but the latter can make games a little more exciting. 6.- This was, all in all, a GREAT EVENT. Props to MLG for surviving the Dallas disaster and becoming a lot better. Really, congratulations, you've shown balls. | ||

I am no high-level player but I use Stalkers a lot. I tried the same thing in one game and instead of a pure hydra army, my opponent went for about 60% roaches and 40% hydras. Roaches tanked and dealt shitload of damage, hydras dealt shitload of damage and I got fucked. Hydras are not tanks. They need to be supported by units that can tank damage like roaches or even a bunch of lings. They have 80 health for Gods sake. | ||

The engagement was absolutely horrible with about 1/4 of the Hydra attacking about 1/4 of the Stalkers, but the Stalkers kept blinking back so while the Hydras went down, none of the Stalkers did. MC also had DTs in there which rip Hydras up. He also had the upgrades. IdrA had a bunch of Infestors in the back doing NOTHING. You don't fungal the Stalkers AFTER they've already micro'd and killed half your Hydra count, you have to fungal them from the very start so that they can't reposition/blink micro to begin with. IdrA completely failed that engagement. IT'S NOT A BALANCE ISSUE. | ||
