You're right. This guy is a regular BitbyBit and every player should be like TOP and just be good at macro until they are on 5 - 12 bases before attacking.

=/


Cmon now. Puzzle saying "I'M GOING ALLIN" and hoping his opponent doesn't respond correctly 3/4 games does not show skill. At least when MC was doing it he was the first.

All of which are defendable. Blame his opponents instead.


What a stupid comment...


Except he's right?


So..........Terran still OP?

Not surprising.. Zerg is a little underpowered at a GSL level at this point in time. Terran is always strong, Protoss has strong timing attacks and an improved lategame while infestors have become almost useless and everything Tier 3 gets sniped.

I'm hoping that snipe becomes ineffective versus Massive units in an upcoming patch, its just too easy..

It's not that zerg is underpowered at GSL level, it's only the fact that IdrA & SEn who are not code S level at all (maybe code A? but I don't think so there are so many beasts in code A), Lucky who was in the same group as Mvp & NesTea, and CoCa who is a true code S zerg who got banned (or forfeited himself something like that).

There were more Terrans than the other races at the start of the format to begin with...you realize that right?


Which reinforces the point that Terran are still too strong? I mean if the tournament had nothing but T some of them would still be eliminated, you realize that right?


More like the old Code S format made it very hard to drop out and hard to get into, and it just as easily could have been 15 Zergs in Code S or 15 protosses

The Terran tears in this thread are pretty delicious I gotta say. I mean there's as many T left in r16 as P and Z combined but that won't stop cries of imbalance apparently. It must be absolute Terran majority for the game to be "balanced".


Considering I stopped watching the GSL for 4 months due to Terran vs Protoss issues, you couldn't be more right, this shit is so delicious, I'm fucking feasting right now, good lord it's tasty.

i hope puzzle loses quickly and goes out of code s lol



Poltimus has a very good TvP though mr Morrow, but if creator has the PvT you rate him for going to be a SICKKK match up.

Also, how come 15nexus countered his 2rax? t.t



it is just like cc first couters two gates. it is simple

because he didnt send scvs with it.
he had 3 choises:
1: send bare amount of scvs to equalize the game (which was what he did)
2: send more than enough scvs (like 10 or something) to ensure the win if toss doesnt run up the ramp and sacrifice his nexus (goes back to 1base vs 1base but terran behind)
3: send enough scvs to kill toss if he fights for killing the nexus and gets ahead if toss just ran up the ramp and gave up nexus

option 3 sounds optimal but the problem with that is if toss double mind games and cuts probes he can actually hold that too barely with perfect control and then toss is ahead. the best thing nada could have done is to run up toss main base after scouting the nexus, analyse the +2gateway timing and figure out the exact number of scvs he needed to send. but he didnt


and ye creator is still the overall best pvt player ive seen to date. he doesnt fuck around with coinflipping and he doesnt make big blunders, he is just very good and very solid all around so he is one of very very few who can fight from behind in this matchup against top terran

erm all this balance whine, when Nada didn't scout the nexus first in the last game until it was already up....deserves to lose just for that i'm afraid

I don't think P is boring to watch, but the race mechanics need refining.

Terran Ro32 - 15 / 32 (less than half)
Terran Ro16 - 8/16 (HALF)

So yes. Terran should be crying because this is exactly the same as the last Code S and nothing's changed people move along.

How to subtly balance whine without getting in trouble:
Say watching protoss is boring because of how the race is designed!

If a protoss does anything besides long 40 minute games it's an "all in" or its "cheese"

Starts and ends with the Collossi man. Most boring unit in a starcraft game. Takes very little skill to use, is extremely powerful, and if they die the Toss is fucked. The unit needs a complete redesign or be replaced with something else. Not to mention they are ugly to look at!

Doesn't more Terrans at the start still indicate that they're doing okay in the big picture, though? Terran numbers have indeed gone down since the nightmare that was 20 Terrans in Code S though, so I'm glad for that, at least.

I'd take TvTs all day instead of watching puzzle 7gate his way.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.
