They have been the quality you would expect from a bunch of mid-masters people playing eachoter.


No no no, it was Grandmaster level micro with gold league strategy.

I thought BW didnt have BO wins? o_o


Ofc there are BO wins in BW ... its just that you can overcome BO disadvantage with great play and thats really hard to do in SC2 from my viewing experience. As someone else said if you have BO advantage in SC2 you can still win even if you play terrible and the oponent played perfect.

That sounds about right.

Normal masters players have good strategies and (relatively) bad execution. These players had bad strategies and great execution.

The level of sc2 is pretty impressive imo. These are NOT mid masters players. These people would defeat mid masters players on macro and micro alone, regardless of strategy. But it is true they're decision making is questionable. Macro wise, they are top foreigner level already.

Most of the time the strategy is fine, a lot of the builds are exact copies of GSL just not executed properly.

effort looked ok but got smashed by motive

other than that, everyone seemed fairly meh. except M18M who is a baller


Reality looked really strong, he also was the only Terran to win a TvP today.

That gif is always fun.

My own thoughts on SC2 play today.

1. Protosses are playing the best all-around. Probably means that protoss transition is the easiest, or that protoss play a style that's most suitable for BW gamers.
2. Basic mechanics, like micro, macro, army control, etc. seems on par or almost on par with top SC2 progamers
3. Decision-making and overall game sense ranges anywhere from good to downright awful
4. Strategies are generally generic and not very awe-inspiring
Meh
