Just the business aspect of it. Seems like Kespa is taking a huge risk. Wouldn't it be smarter to bring the GSL players and get high level games to bring over the audience? The BW guys would catch up faster too.


GSL players would suck harder at BW then BW players are sucking at SC2 so no .

Looks impossible to win to me if you let the Protoss get to that stage.

in a normal game you scout and if you see protoss do mass carriers you go in and kill him. or you make mass corruptor/muta army and fight back lol.

Yeah funny strat and sub par response from the zerg, but that was a crisp execution from the protoss. Guardian shielding his air units, cloaking cannons with mothership, incredibly alert with his high templars. I liked that game!

Well he meant if protoss actually gets to have that army.

It was as much decided by upgrades as anything else. The Carriers were 3/1 during the first engagement, and the Corruptors were 1/0.

Honestly, I think I'm enjoying this much more than any GSL. It's refreshing. It makes you want to cheer for them, and you know they will get so much better.

I don't think there's anything you can do. You cant engage headon because every single unit comp gets evaporated and you cant counterattack because the mothership is in position to cloak the cannons and you cant have detection present because it will get roflstomped in seconds anyway. It's basically checkmate haha

its fun seeing the proleague have their own strategies, like a completely different metagame lolololol
m17's game is like wtflol


Because, just like in ladder, in bronze protoss owns and in GM terran demolishes :D.

There's plenty of protoss in both Code S and Top 15 KR GM.

Mass corrupters with fungal + neural + corruption support demolishes protoss air at any stage. He just kept constantly building useless lings and roaches.

You zone them out with spores and get broodlords to do the siege work. With transfuses around, and spores targetting any interceptors from carriers trying to be cute, it'll eventually be a slow push to their base while taking over the entire map.

Look at that control. He didn't blindly make air. He used it correctly.

Yes I agree. This is very refreshing. Part of me doesn't like it just because it's alot of strain on the players, and the system doesn't allow them to improve as quick as they could. But, on the other hand, it's nice to not see the same few strats over and over, which I kinda feel SC2 has stagnated to.

They only had 1 month to practice + they have to practice broodwar same time. U honestly expect them to keep up with GSL players who played for over 2 years while brood war players play 1 month?
