Ret didn't use burrow micro in the sense you want to think he did. He just used it to wait for force fields.

The problem with Burrow is that when you burrow you can take damage during the animation. With Blink you take 0 damage during the animation.

Burrow will never be Blink.

To be fair Roaches are dirt cheap.


Mmm speed/burrow upgrade included?


Speed and Burrow are cheap also

It was just a loss due to no detection

oh god I think Naniwa is about to break down.

This is cruel to interview him.

That doesn't make any difference if they're dirt cheap. They take damage during the animation, Stalkers don't. It renders the burrow micro we'd like to have pretty useless unless they just don't have detection.

naniwa is an idiot, before the game started he wrote "hehe" in the ingame chat after he found out that close position is possible(rotterdam mentioned it). Now after he lost he whines. Pretty lame imo.

Seems like close positions is balanced after all. No more zerg whine thx.

Real problem is that close position always turn out to be rush games, as in they only last around 10 minutes, it's boring to watch and to play.


Exactly. The actual problem is that if you're organizing a tournament like this and you add close positions into the mappool, then there really is just no words to say. Either Blizzard really wants to get the message "Look people, close positions games aren't that bad.", the "that bad" part being a quick rush/all-in, which almost always results in uninteresting play, or are they are really clueless and don't know that there are versions of ST without close positions.

He goes to lower bracket, can still make it to the finals if he beats nerchio, and loser of Thorzain v. Ret

Naniwa even complained about close pos being the main problem for him in game 3. And you guys are saying "it's balanced now"...seriously?


Not balanced, but this is Blizz's tourney. Naniwa knew coming in that close pos was a possibility. If he didn't like it he doesn't have to play (eg. NASL).


Who even cares if it's balanced or not, it just makes shitty game like the one we just saw, loses his first sentries and he's in deep shit game is over within 10 minutes.

Whenever nani is interviewed after a loss, i can't do anything but feel really sad. He somehow is always SO involved. If he loses he seems so destroyed. Its so engaging.

He donated ~10 sentries, he fucked himself, he wasn't outplayed the slightest.

yeah seems like a lot of people don't appreciate exactly how bad losing about 8 sentries in exchange for a ling or two early game is

A protoss crying about close pos? What is this.

Why shouldn't he? Close positions are retarded no matter what race you play. And since everybody knows that (except Blizzard), no one practices close pos and it just becomes a coin-toss when you have it in a tournament.

Aww Naniwa... Please don't interview the losers, especially when they are as hard on themselves as Nani.


Where is this coming from? Since when can't you interview the loser? in other sports the loser team always gives interviews, why not here? I understand the players are pissed but they have to be professional.
