I thought we don't want A-move units only (warhounds). Because Forcefield denies micro, just like fungal, it has the same effect as an a-move unit, since it reduces the amount of micro in the game by preventing your opponent of microing - even if the ability itself takes a bit more skill to use than Fungal. Also, Saying stuff like "Protoss would die without FF" is also stupid since a removal of forcefield in HotS wouldn't obviously come alone, there would be a buff or another ability coming with it to make up for the loss of this spell. There has been multiple posts explaining why because of Forcefield/Warpgate gateway units can't do anything but suck, because otherwise Protoss would instantly become completely OP. Which leads to the current state of protoss, kinda balanced, but all their matchups are boring and stupid as fuck to watch/play. Too bad Blizz' ego is too big to come back on those mechanics in HotS. | ||

As much as I love JD, he's just a worse player than finale. All there is to it. I'm not hating on Finale for beating JD. JD looked horrible and made terrible decisions. I'm just saying that Finale didn't look too stellar either, at least when we first saw this from Seed last season (and his 8gate +3) it looked STRONG. This just looked poorly executed and he got lucky that he was facing an inexperienced player. | ||

He prolly knows he is still behind, let alone be comfortable with the game where he can 'express' himself. Give him time, he will ez be top tier. | ||

Statistical balance does not imply good games. Browder and co. need to get that off their heads. It's not if its balanced, but how it is balanced. Remove an ability that denies micro to our opponent? Compensate with abilities that make use of better micro on your side. | ||

Roro did some nice splits of roach/ling pressure onto Ace's natural and third and Ace just couldn't handle it. | ||

There are live reports in the OP. Game 1: First lost to marines. Marine poke killed about 11 probes at nat then later on more marines stimmed up ramp and killed first. Didn't actually see this game but assume first failed with his forcefields Game 3: First got 1/1/1'd. First defended really well on 2 base but there was a couple of banshees left over and he just couldnt gather enough stalkers to defeat them especially with PDD's being dropped by a raven. Was quite depressing to watch. | ||

Force field does not deny micro, it requires good micro from opponent both before and after FF get placed. Fungal only require micro before cast, and the ability to chain fungal put it on a different level. | ||
