So with the new U&D format change, the winner gets Code S and runner-up gets to choose his group? Or is there no benefit for coming second?

This is depressing.. And Tal'darim has pretty wide pathways. I haven;t seen PvP on it in a while, but does the basic "you can't hold the ramp with 1 FF, so you must 4gate" rule apply here, or no because the map is generally larger? (Not that that matters much, since proxy Pylon + Warp Gate..)

If you can't FF the entrance, you will four gate.

Yes, that's what I said.... Alright, thanks for the info.

And lmfao @ Wolf. Watching 3 units micro is not fun or interesting at all. Sure, it's tough to do and all that, but it's not entertaining.

Sigh... what was all that about "PvP is evolving out of 4-gate." T___T


Think it still needs a patch to have other build orders more viable. Not to kill the 4 gate, just something which makes the 4g a riskier build. As it is, 4gate in PvP isn't risky, it's a 1 base all-in with no risk unless your opponent 4 gates.

doesnt need a patch, it needs players that are good enough. It's been almost two months now that we've seen plenty of pvp from players that are good enough to make anyone who 4gates look like they belong in diamond but these two not so much. This time it's the players not the game.


yeah, obviously. code a finalists suck.

they dont suck, they got here through playing good. Their pvp though isnt really up to snuff. Watch a pvp with naniwa, mc or huk playing a similarly good player and you will be blown away when comparing it to what we are watching now.

Puzzle beat MC in a pvp long time ago when MC was still invincible in it.
Oh and I'm pretty sure that they have better PvP than NaNiWa/HuK...

Yeah he might get to Code S but I sure as hell won't be cheering him on when he gets there...

find me ONE player that would do an "entertaining" match over a winning match in an important finals. Its not like hes being a dick. i want to see players going 100% to win, not going 80% but being slightly more "entertaining"

Also the micro in these matches has been very entertaining, if you dont like it, thats your loss.

what comes to mind is moon when he made so many banelings in the nasl because "i saw how many banelings july made and i wanted to make more than him."

I understand Blizzard wanting to differentiate Protoss unit construction mechanics from Terran, but did they have to do it in a way that completely eliminates defender's advantage at the 6 minute mark with one cheap upgrade? Seriously, if both these players spawned in the same base these games wouldn't look any different.


yeah, it tilts the hell out of me that blizzard pours sixty million dollars (or a hundred million -- however much) into developing SC2 and they didn't hire someone with the wisdom to point out that eliminating defender's advantage is a really stupid move.

MC had a pretty sick game on Taldarim where he held the choke with 2 FF's versus XiaoT


That game was awesome.

I wonder if a shield battery building would help. Maybe allow the defender to regen shields on their stalkers, and 3 gates, while not cutting probes.

Because he had already won. He could have made 20 Ultras with that money and still won

It's significantly harder to defend 4gate than it is to execute, so yeah, 4gate is pretty common. Sometimes you both 4gate, and then go 4gate blink/4gate robo.

No it isn't.

People only 4gate non-stop if they feel they are the inferior player. There isn't much one person can do when the other side is dedicating to the 4gate, but it isn't significantly harder to defend.
Uh. That's just not true....

this explains why my game vs HwangSin in the TLOpen #19, he 4gated and I didn't because clearly I was the superior player.....(/endsarcasm) that said 4gating is a solid opening in PvP generally safe from tons of other builds and can give you essentially a free-win if your opponent messes up (i misplaced my ff by a pixel allowing him vision to warpin and cripple me lol)

Confirmed

Tassadar stacks his probes on the close patches, Puzzle does not. This makes a HUGE difference in a matchup built on razor thin timings. Makes about a 6-7 second difference in warpgate timings.

PvP micro is certainly exciting, but here is the problem:
If this was a TvT, the first game would finish only now. Worst case, we'd be in the 2nd game.
