Same drill as usual:
  • No caster bashing.
  • Excessive tournament bashing that detracts from game discussion will be met with moderator action. Criticism is welcome, whining is not.
  • In general do your best to stay on topic and discuss what we're all here for: the games.
Enjoy the games guys.

At first, EG said they were the team with most players in the tournament.
Mouz answered them and told them to make research "bro"
then EG called Hasuobs a walkover.

And things went on from there, talking about shirts and what not xD pretty funny

Are you sure they were referring to HasuOrbs?

FYI the tournament was massively delayed by Hon matches lasting for ages, the first match of hon went on for over an hour.


wasnt it 30 min delay when they started pre match talk ? wouldnt call that massive, but yeah there was a delay..

though, nasl doing an pretty nice job so far, i hope more ppl will show up, but thats not their fault - they have to start early to make the matches bo5.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

It's not skill-less at all. Control in those fights is absolutely insanely taxing. It's not like ZvZ where whoever has the better Roach concave wins, you are:

- forcefielding off Zealots around Archons
- using Archons to break forcefields
- Blinking Stalkers out of melee range
- Blinking Stalkers to pick off Colossus
- focus firing Immortals on Stalkers/Colossus
- spreading out units so opposing Colossus don't do too much AoE
- focus firing Colossus on clumped units
- warping in units, which unlike the other races directly takes you away from the battle as you can't do it just from hotkeys, you need to move the camera and click a bunch
- chronoboosting gateways/robo/upgrades

It's still incredibly monotonous and even though there is a lot of subtle positioning, none of it actually has any of the 'wow' factor as a spectator that good marine splitting, blink micro or a well executed 3-way flank from a Z. My current PvP is literally based around surviving to the lategame and getting double robo collosus with attack upgrades, they wipe out everything on the ground it's just silly.

As a Protoss player I really wanted this unit taken out of HoTS and replaced with a more mechanically interesting and strategic unit, but apparently that's not happening


this pvp sucks thing is really stuck in peoples heads... sad

in my opinion its far more interesting than zvz and tvt if it involves bio
pvp these days offers a lot of different openings and ways to play the midgame (all of them involve blink stalkers but well you have standards in every race)
the lategame army is often the same (and its rarly mass colossus like in the last game (in tournament play at least) but thats also pretty much the same with every other mu


whats more interesting is ofc opinionbased but saying pvp sucks and is always colossus-wars is just wrong

The SC2 tournament has only started 3 hours ago.
We've had two very entertaining PvP BO5 so far, no reason to complain.

They weren't really referring to anyone, they just miscounted and mouze and eg joked around.

Because he practices to kill koreans not europeans that play a different more passive style.

Because Huk lived and practiced for MC for almost a year? He knows how MC plays. He doesn't know how HasuObs or Elfi plays.

You should actually watch games he wins and loses. More often than not it's due to 1 base play or a hidden proxy.

I agree. I think in the last few months PvP has been SOOOO much better than ZvZ, and TvT often hinges too much on a 1 second mistake(not having your tanks sieged up against bio) that turns even the most dominating game into an instant loss.
