Would be nice to see if somebody would ask him about the pick in an interview. | ||

Calm down. Yeah 396 - 401 (zerg being 396, toss being 401) looks extremely zerg favored. 36-38 (z 36, P 38 on korea stats). | ||

It just takes the zerg always assuming that a warpgate will be in play on metropolis. Which is what basically everyone does. | ||

But from a morale perspective, if you were to get down to 3-3 and had to play the last game on a tough map (argue this all you want, but PvDRG on TDA is pretty rough) I think it would be pretty disheartening. | ||

I don't see how that's relevant, if Hero picks his favorite map and wins at 3-1 it's exactly the same as if he picks his favorite map at 3-3 and wins. | ||

Well moral perspective, it's still different. If you are up 3-1 you are confident you are going to win, if it goes from you being 3-0 to tied 3-3 you are going to be tilted, make more mistakes (well most players) and morally you are going to be crushed. So he might make mistakes he doesn't normally and lose, he will be less likely to take risks as well. | ||

Just seems that DRG has always been extremely confident on TDA, and is notorious for 6pooling into mutaling. So even if the average Z might be even vs P on TDA, the strong mutaling players are often favored on the map. It's not even arguable, just look at the map and it's obvious why that composition is so strong. | ||

I know muta/ling is really strong on that map I can't remember a time (in recent times) where a zerg plays taldarim and doesn't go mutalisks just because it is incredibly powerful on the map. | ||
