Roach infestor battles on max graphics without health bars or stronger team colors or something was horrible earlier, its better with health bars tabbed on during the battle now but streams are much more enjoyable on low shaders etc, maxed textures and effects with health bars always on if not using a really good observer who ALWAYS has the right things selected (Adebisi, Legend) IMO

Am i the only one that prefers visual clarity to "higher" graphical settings, post processing, depth of field etcetc in esports?

Almost all pros put their graphic settings to low when they play.


My question is, why dont tournaments? It seems to be quite widely agreed that low focus with maxed textures and effects gives the best clarity, performance, etc, and with everything maxed and health bars not permanantly on makes things very confusing and painful without those few high level observers


Because it looks fucking terrible for observing. Simple as that really...


I disagree. IMO, higher settings look worse. The added stuff makes it much more difficult to quickly analyse situations

Like I said before, texture quality on ultra while the rest is on medium looks really sharp and clean. They used that in the first 2 games of the broadcast today but when I mention it they changed to ultra settings for everything. -_-;;

Imagine if 20 speedlings run through the gap between the gateway and forge right now, there's not even a cannon.

this build is just banking on the current meta of zerg doesn't do those early all-ins anymore.

You don't even have to all-in, just run 4 zerglings in and cost him a ton of mining time.

I am too. GPU is fine, but CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GhZ overclocked to 2.4. When this was a good CPU, trilobites were the dominant subphylum on Earth.

No of course not...
Draz made it sound like the reason that high graphics are used is because of casual viewers new to the game, but I was saying that you don't have to be a casual viewer to enjoy SC2 on full graphics.
