Any game that goes late game can be ended so easily either way.. such a coin flip end game.. which way does the vortext go basically. Hope HOTS is different for late game PvZ | ||

There was no way for him to lose to Leenock. Hero though, you can never expect him to get 2-0'd by a Zerg, not even Soulkey. | ||

Actually storm dropping, containing, harassing with stargates etc is far less skillful then building a death ball. | ||

He is not always consitant and I can understand if somebody thought Soulkey will take this but saying that Soulkey is a CLEAR favourite is an exaggaration for sure. | ||

Or are you seriously supposing blizzard should just stop patching the game? Because in both scenario's i'm not quite sure what to tell you, as it's pretty dumb. What are you even trying to say? I pointed out that BW had no balance patching for years and the game was balance around maps. So serious balance whining was pointless. Ofc people will still whine at something being op (LOL VULTURES) but in the end they knew that they had OP shit aswell. You said people would whine harder. You have 10 years of proof that this wouldn't happened. Tbh, I wouldn't mind at all if Blizzard stopped balance patching and let the players figure out the game on its own. Right now they have to much control on how the game should be played which gets boring. | ||

But just like the games were so close, Hero only looked just slightly better than SoulKey today. I think it's for two reasons. 1) SoulKey played VERY well. He's definitely a top tier contender - at least Code A level (and Code A people take games off Code S players all the time), or perhaps even good enough to make Code S (time will tell?). 2) I'm sure Hero's nerves must have been going CRAZY. With all that pressure, and Leenock losing right before him, and then losing game 1 - knowing that Hero is already an emotional player who still has nerves issues despite his lengthy tournament experience, I was afraid that all Kespa vs. GSL pressure would totally mess up his play. | ||

And we're already seeing this elephant effect? Yeah, you're definitely right. Lol why would you need more than 6 months to adapt to the game especially since you are coming from BW? There has been a countless number of patches and the metagame has evolved a lot, it's not like GSL players practiced the same "game" (in the sense that the metagame evolves as soon as a patch hit for example) 2 years long. | ||

(6) 56 total votes Your vote: For new the elephant followers: Do you enjoy watching SC2? (Vote): Yes, i have transtioned along with my beloved elephants Why is ANYONE who is not enjoying watching the game wasting their time and watching this? If Morgan Freeman made a god awful movie I would not watch it. -_- | ||
