lol it was really bad.. endless posturing with no engagement. I hate it when sc2 games play out like this, when there's zero harassment and no splitting of armies, then a 5 second battle to close the 15 minute stalemate.

this exactly, i hate macro games where the players sit around and don't do jack shit 3/4 of the game.. i can do that in my plat league just fine and don't need to watch a progame doing the exact same shit.

this is so ignorant

Just because the observers missed it doesn't mean it never happened. There was plenty of harass that game

MC half assedly sending 5 zealots to stephano's fifth and one ling runby? That's not exactly "action packed" for a game that long. The map is a little bit at fault though.

There was tons of shit
Stephano running lings into MC's main/natural
MC getting off like 10 feedbacks on the infestors, allowing him to kill Stephano's 5th
The constant fighting at the fourth

And don't say positional based games are bad, because it was beautiful. That's where I want SC2 to go.

4 lings getting into the main for 3 seconds doesn't count as harass

There was some sloppy moves from both sides (the infestors being feedbacked, the vortex on a single broodlord, even if it was positional was a mistake) imo. I would not say they played bad overall tho, just a little sloppily.

In that late game Toss have to start taxing the multitasking of Zerg. The Stalker contingent at the top was good, but storm drops, immortals/zealots to snipe tech structures, using the mothership to recall units etc are a necessity, otherwise BL Infestor will just roll you.

The second that MC wins a game (regardless of how many Stephano's won beforehand), I hope the thread gets flooded with "MC showing he is the better player" just to balance the blatant Stephano fanboyism with actual common sense (see OP's poll).

You compared your plat league games to what we just watched, you clearly have no understanding of SC2.

this is what i meant why i didn't like this game as much. Multitasking is the way of the future for sc2 which honestly did not happen as much as it should have in the first game in such a late game situation.

And don't say positional based games are bad, because it was beautiful. That's where I want SC2 to go.

I don't mind it when position is a big component of the game. I've seen some TvT lately that were very similar to BW TvT. It's amazing to watch because there's a lot of little battles and multitasking going on at the same time. In PvZ late game it's almost as if there's no incentive to harass beyond a zealot warp in or sometimes the single warp prism in the late game. Either that or the players don't have enough imagination. In brood war you don't have to keep your armies clumped up in the same way as sc2 PvZ.

I guess I just find it very frustrating to watch when a game starts slowing down rather than becoming more intense the longer it goes by.

Not to mention apparently hyperbole is past your grasp of understanding..

It was a pretty sloppy game with terrible vortexes, the zealot not on hold-position allowing a run-by, and the infestors all sitting at the watchtower getting feedbacked. The harass was mostly moving a few stalkers or lings into bases, not much multitasking/micro. Both players have played much better.
