no, he said thanks to JYP for helping him practice TvP

EG and SlayerS are partners.

It's like Hero saying thanks to a oGs member.

Oh, well I figured he thanked SlayerS but I thought he said that part at the end too PP

ghosts are way too beefy

I always wondered why they are neither armored like infestors nor light like HTs. Seems like an oversight on Blizzard's part.

Archons are the same way. The lack of armored classification makes tanks and marauders pathetically weak against them.

Archons are MASSIVE, ghosts are not. Why don't ghosts have another classification? They don't look like they should be damage tanks, yet they are more tanky than marauders because they have no other classification.

Ghosts are biological/psionic...

Yes I know... But they are not light. Why not? They look like light units to me. They are punier than marines. I know that there are things in starcraft that don't make sense, but why can't this one?


For the same reason Queens are bionic/psionic ;D

I know they are as well. But Queens are not small, and do indeed look like tanky units, while not looking armored, and not being very massive. So it actually does make sense in their case. Ghosts on the other hand do NOT look tanky. And DO look light.

Now now. Let's not try to apply logic to a video game. My command center should be able to land on zerglings, but they can't.

I already went over the fact that many things in SC2 don't make sense. But this one could be easily changed to make perfect sense! They already did it with high templar. HTs used to not be light units, but a patch changed that. Seems to me that they forgot to do the same with the ghost.


I'm pretty sure that decision to make HT light had nothing to do with it making sense and everything to do with balance. This argument is silly and inane.

Completely insane. You don't balance the game around the art... if anything he should be arguing for them to change the ghost art.

I want fire in that ceremony some time, too.

Really really enjoyed this weekend, especially after I stopped cringing on NASL's behalf (Day 2 had a much more respectable crowd and the stream count was nice).

I don't consider it an argument. It would be nice to hear the reason that Blizzard changed the HT and not the Ghost though. Oh well, time for bed! The finals had some surprisingly exciting moments.

Despite it's short comings and lacking content compared to other tournaments, overall enjoyable tournament.

The games were good. They went a bit overkill with too many casters with not enough to do but the casting/introing was great overall. The red carpet entrances were an amusing change of pace and quite fun. The crowd was small but they really made up for it with lively cheering and chants, props to the crowd for not being negative nancys because they were so few but instead stepping up their game. I enjoyed the crowd interactions with the giveaways and them lining the red carpet entrances too. Also cool how they incorporated day9 daily and live on 3, nice to see that.

Obviously there were quite a few shortcomings but I like how NASL stays positive and lighthearted despite the haters, fun to see a tournament that is a bit tongue in cheek and cheesey in a good way.

And finally, the best part of the tournament was of course the epic zoomhappy camera man and the resulting stream chat during his adventures. Sad they put a leash on him and his antics after day one, he was truly an artist and epic troll, intentional or not, haven't laughed so hard in a while.

If Sen always gets third place does that make him forever bronze?

Also I'm torn on whether or not I like the giant checks at this point, I almost think a trophy for the winner and like little medallions for 2nd and 3rd would be classier and more meaningful for the players.

As a HerO fan, I'm slightly disappointed but given he won DHW over PuMa I can't really complain.

The LRs are very useful for those of us who can't watch (work, Firewall of China, etc), thanks Seeker!

Finally, HerO vs PuMa seems like HuK vs IdrA 2.0. But less BM, which may or may not be a good thing.

complete opposite


This should be addressed in the OP - as well as other corrections to the translator's translations. It'd be nice to get a better translation of what Puma and Hero said in their winner's interviews.
I feel that out of all translators doing their job in sc2, Jun Kyu "Junkka" Park is probably one of the few who consistently translates properly (either that or he delivers awesome troll speeches!). Suzie from ipl was also pretty good.

Nevertheless, GG Puma and wp both for delivering a nail-biting and entertaining bo7! Sad it ended at 4-2 - was hoping for the full 4-3.
