Tell me about it, I always hated ZvZ because it's so damn stressful.

That was my favorite part when I played zerg. I was an old FPS player before I started with sc2 so I could pretty much out-micro anyone at my level.

LOL has had close to 200k iirc.

but LoL isnt e-sports


You guys need to drop that shit.


Honestly it's not a good game, if you want to play a real MOBA then play Dota2, League of legends lacks intricacy and depth that make you appreciate the skill of the competitors.

I think you're missing the point here. It's all about the title popularity. If you made such argument for most real sports, people would think you're insane.


Not really. It's like people watching Nascar or Formula 1.

Not really what? Both are popular events despite different skill levels of their "players". Most people don't care how much APM game demands or that you have builds nailed down to the second.

huh..came back when stephano had 2 base with 2 spines up, but in ling/bane vs ling/bane its better micro wins. Vortix had a terrible engagement at his natual that allowed stephano to just continue ling/bane pressure with better economy that Vortix couldn't keep up with.

could have been same economy for a bit, but stephano was droning behind this a little.

Why did he not kill the pool?


I was just about to post this. My only thought is it forces the game into a state of passivity which is disadvantageous to Vortix as he's economically behind.

why didnt vortix kill the pool instead of the hatch? wouldn't that be instant GG?


Nope stephano could have started a new pool or just morphed more defensive banes while his new pool is building. He already had 2 queens and 2 spines so he would have been fine as the new pool finishes building.

I disagree with Tastosis, Vortix wasn't that ahead. When he lost his main, it was 1 base to 1. They expanded simultaneously after that, it just looked bad for Stephano on the surface.

Also, and more importantly, he had creep at his natural and could plant his spines there, that's, apart from gas mining, actually better than losing the natural.
Mutation complete.

Honestly one game is no more e-sport to another game and if you're going to use the damn word you better know it encompasses all games.

If you're a fan of SC2 then just say that. Don't use the word e-sport if you don't truly mean it.

It's hypocritical.


Wrong guy, but yes I don't support esports I support SC2 and other good games that aren't completely terrible and easy.

I like how fans of a dumbed down BW complain about LoL being a dumbed down dota.

If it's MC-Stephano level it's ok.
