The fact is SC2 is just a very fast game where a few micro decisions make or break everything as your deathballs collide. So yes, I agree, doesn't feel like good game design. Not really, ZvT you can kinda recover from, that's why most games are usually incredibly long. | ||

That was easily the biggest tournament of 2011. | ||

Yea, seriously at one point he was up 3-2 to 1-1 in upgrades and within 5 supply of Puma, he could have won an engagement, secured his third, and won the game from there. Instead he let his base get canceled 3 times, waited till Puma's gold kicked in, waited till puma caught up in upgrades and made a million vikings/ghosts plus jumped up to a 20-30 supply lead :-/ Guess he thought he was more behind than he was and thought his only chance was to turtle till max supply, bad mistake. | ||

While these guys are not professional translators I would think the event would do a little coaching on what they are wanting from them. They are there to translate what is being said not to summarize what is being said. | ||

I didn't know Hero still has LOT's of work to do in the mental department. Oh well, gotta find a different hero to root for. I wouldn't say that. Small mistakes and miscalculations could have easily helped him turn it around. PuMa versus HerO is always pretty entertaining to watch because they do go back and forth a lot. | ||

Well, I'm still not happy with how NASL handled the Korean situation and I definitely think more Koreans would have been in the top 16. Still a win is a win. It really wasn't NASL's fault, that koreans didn't show up for NASL. Do some research! | ||

You can tell yourself that, but it doesn't make the games any more enjoyable with the current dynamics. | ||

It's "balanced" because it can (and does) go either way but it just doesn't seem like good game design.
