It seems the only thing that really matters in regards to balance/manners/BM is if the person says something you like. Then it's all graaaavy baby.

nah complaining is just cool now

This guy has brought up some good points, you should all give it a read.


when a unit dies of fungal/while fungaled it becomes an infested terran -> this change makes perfect sense and would solve a lot of balance issues in the game.

no, it'll be infinite line of armies from Zerg and also that's not including fast lings and reinforcement

You just need to match it with a line of bunkers(Units can't be fungaled in a bunker!) Effectively turning TvZ into a professional Tower defence game :D

Personally I'm all for this change as I am very good at Tower defence games xD Get at me SKT I'll win you a PL xD

I challenge you at Field Runner

there are plenty of stupid people who will applaud anything. that's a terrible metric for whether or not something should be done, and it's the reason there are things like "rules" and "laws" and "standards of behavior" in general. it doesn't make ryung a terrible person, but it was a dumb thing to do. ryung was the beneficiary of plenty of GomTvT seasons.

Strangely enough, the one season there was the least amount of Terrans, Ryung got the farthest eh?

ryung's run is strangely similar to byun's ro4 haha

Way to take things out of context. Even foreign balance whine vs. Zerg (esp Infestor) has a lot of traction. It's not just the korean's complaints who people are cheering about. A lot of the HOTS talk recently that got tons of community support was started by foreigners as well.

shit happens, I guess. he's always been known for his TvT, but he's probably got the best TvZ in the world right now. doesn't mean they should hand him the trophy for free.

Well ZvZ is a pretty interesting mirror, and both these players have good ZvZ, so if anything, it should be very high level.


ZvZ is much more fun now in SC2 for spectators.

ZvZ in BW wouldn't be half as interesting to them, lol.

Comparing BW to SC2 - SC2 is a game where one mistake or one out of position can cost you the game.

In BW, that usually wasn't the case. BW and WC3 are more gradual games rather than one mistake costs you the game (knife's edge game).

Infestor would not be "IMBA" in BW settings. GAME DESIGN PROBLEM!

Also bring back the REAVER! BEST UNIT IN STARCRAFT!

Not whining about Zerg. Whining that there isn't an SC2 bonjwa yet.

Interesting point, one I've considered actually

BW - Mechanically harder than SC2, but yet players had periods of real dominance.
WC3- Mechanically easier than SC2, but yet had players have periods of real dominance.

I still feel that SC2's 'randomness' is overstated, in that top Koreans may lose to players worse than them, but overall will have pretty high winrates.

Basically SC2 still rewards the better players more often than not, but perhaps not quite as much as people would like.

9) There should be no communication between the players other than ‘GG’, ‘gg’, ‘ㅎㅎ’,'ㅈㅈ' and etc to surrender the game.


Hope nothing will come of this though. I like Ryung

Technically, IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA isn't Ryung communicating with Sniper. So no problem.


It's a slippery slope. He should probably be punished, or at least his team should demand him offer an apology.

May be we can go back and watch good old GSL games. At least me watching MMA vs MVP vs DRG were so much more fun and epic than now.
