It would be hard to work with korean organizations if they let Upmagic play. but i heard american sc2 leagues are also not letting upmagic play? i mean sure if a tournament finals were match fixed i would be mad but that has never happened. they were match fixing low level games and i think once they have served out their punishment why not let them play again. i understand korean leagues permanently banning them but the crime wasnt in america so why american leagues ban them | ||

And if yes, no just no. He hurt e sporst and I don't mean it in the ironic way | ||

Maybe I am biased because of my WCIII love but I can't see how moving a couple of stepps back and then clicking A is such amazing micro. The macro was awesome, the tactic was awesome and just overall much better play than White-Ra, but I honestly don't think that was "brilliant micro" not impressive micro? he barely lost any units | ||

As it is, that group of marines can be kited and sniped by 4-5 stalkers, which is what White-Ra had. | ||

I think some of the oldtimers wanted to cut their hands off (metaphorically/punishment wise speaking). You'd never win over the old school korean backbone if you let the people who nearly killed BW back in. | ||

Good plan, god you truly are a terran expert aren't you..? The blue flame nerf definitely hurts our chances of ever seeing them now, but I really did want to see them tried out more. The thing is, in TvP the only real use for marines is being a mineral dump and killing zealots. Marauders do pretty much everything else a lot better. So why not spend your minerals on hellions instead, and have a unit that's even more effective against zealots. By cutting the marines out, you'll also need less medivacs, which means more vikings available. There was one GSL game just before the nerf (Top maybe? I can't remember) where a lot of BFH were used and they just melted zealots like crazy. Really sad that we'll probably never see it tried again because of the mass worker kills they were getting, I thought it had potential. | ||
