Guess what guys if you add up all the PvZ at this tournament between the highest level of players (like championship bracket + group play) it's actually almost perfectly 50-50. It is 36-37. Soooooooo Zerg favored. I'd also call the zerg lineup at this event stronger than the Protoss lineup since you don't have like parting/seed/creator etc so if anything it should be slightly zerg favored. I'd bet none of those Protoss wins came after Brood Lords we're out. | ||

Guess what we're pretty aware of this? Most Protoss wins that I saw were 2 base immortal/sentry builds, or when I saw Oz hitting a pre-broodlord timing with 5 Collosus. | ||

I can understand the frustration because he plays Protoss in a way that really should be rewarded but isn't. An active Protoss is a fun Protoss to watch, but Blizzard... | ||

Looks like Life will win this tournament. Flash won't be able to pose any threat. Maybe Soulkey's brilliant ZvZ can do something, but it's hard for him to go through the bracket to grand Finals. | ||

It might be balanced in a dumb way (which I agree that the way it's balanced right now is very screwed up) but it is balanced. And when Zerg figure out timings to stop Protoss' go-to 2 base timing where will the matchup be? | ||

Flash may have the best macro we've seen, but he's still rough around the edges and doesn't have the full game yet to take down any of the 3 favourites. | ||

Flash vs Naniwa was a super exciting series and with all the stream issues the numbers seemed way higher than I was expecting + the crowd was pretty full during the better games ^_^ | ||

So game 3 on Tal`Darim. Hero is ahead basically the entire game. Ahead in supply, ahead in bases. Hero gets his army with mothership, scarlet gets blord infestor. Scarlet is basically mined out and hero is on 2 mining bases. Scarlet decides to engage on hero's side and manages to neural the mothership which had just barely skirted ahead of where it should have been (it was trying to vortex the army). She instantly vortexes his army, kills most of it and then kills his two mining bases. Hero is left with a rag tag army with a mothership and scarlet has a bunch of broolord infestor. They base race and eliminate all of the buildings....except for 3 spine crawlers which scarlet sticks in the middle of her army and then marches around the map with (very slowly). Hero realizes he his only chance to win is to land a vortex on the blord infestor and then blink in with his 6-8 stalkers and try to pick off the spines. He tries this a few times but a) fucks it up b) lol too much blordinfestor. He spends the next 15-20 minutes walking around the map doing nothing hiding pylons and at one point types "good balance" (grack was watching and started to giggle). Not my account, but that of someone who was watching it live. | ||
