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.

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

PvP is better than ZvZ imo, as the early and midgames ARE interesting and there are variations in compositions and it's an extremely micro-heavy matchup. Chargelot/Archon for example is super solid in the midgame, but there comes a point where it can't get engage well at all vs collosus blobs

Collosus is just a silly unit, game would be better without it, and that's coming from a Protoss player here


I played all three races. For a decent time(stuck with zerg now), my take on mirrors is:

TvT - The best to watch. The most stressful to play(but I loved it, it was my favorite Tv matchup.)
ZvZ - Shitty to watch early game but from the midgame it is pretty fucking decent, specially with the variety of styles, the new Muta/Baneling/Ling heavy pressure style is really cool to use(but very frail) and Infestor play make it very harass heavy. (Infested Terrans are good)
PvP - Shitty to watch early game, but better than ZvZ, if it goes to collo wars it gets boring to watch and to play, it can be as frustrating as TvT tank wars and ZvZ ling/bling wars.

TvT > ZvZ > PvP. My two cents.

Whether somebody prefers PvP or ZvZ, it's just a matter of personal taste.
Both matchups can be brilliant if played right, both matchups can be horrible and go awry quickly if played wrong,
and in both matchups there is something like a build order win to a certain degree.

ok, tuned in 10 minutes ago and still nothing's going on. somebody tell me what's happening and if there already were some fuckups.

75 min HoN made it start a bit later. Plenty of... hilarious/sad(depending on your view) production fuckups, some delays for no obvious reason.

That's your fellow germans fault tho for taking so long to kill Huk.


that slow painful death was a little bit more enjoyable than what we are "watching" right now ;-)
It really tied the room together.

Man this bad manner from EG and mouse sports is really bad for esports, someone needs to step in and stop this before it escalates even further. I feel like NASL needs to do something about it, perhaps disqualify players from both teams or something along those lines.


Banter that creates a rivalry is far from bad, its incredibly good and needed.
