War3's spell interaction is a lot less one-dimensional than SC2's though, since you have factors than can mitigate anti-micro spells (burrowing under ensnares at the right time, staffing, dispells, etc.). | ||

This does bring forth a question though Almost every interview nowadays, you'll see something along the lines of "I don't want to face a zerg" or "playing against zerg is very difficult right now" or "infestor good unit, hard to play late-game" or some other kind of not-so-subtle balance whine. Where do we actually draw the line? I mean, people will watch GSL interviews, they'll watch MLG interviews, they'll read all the interviews that teams like Acer throw out. | ||

I hope the finals ends up like this http://www.twitch.tv/onemoregametv/b/335835005?t=113m if you don't want to watch the beginning of the game here is what I'm referring to http://www.twitch.tv/onemoregametv/b/335835005?t=131m every single game just to show how fascinating bl/infestor is xD | ||

It's not the kind of things one can explain with words  Sc2 ZvZ looks so conventional and boring tbh, but it's still a good matchup.This is a sentence I never thought I would read in my whole life. Next ill be reading about people saying this miss the old hydra busts in ZvP. | ||

Even without considering balance, ZvX is horrifyingly dull for a spectator. Not saying he's not right, nor that blizz shouldn't figure out a fix already. But throwing a hissy fit in the middle of a game isn't good for the sport. | ||

No whining in-game (as it is now) seems like an appropriate place to draw the line. | ||

Three hotkey setups :D Trolling in bronze all day every day I don't want to troll though  I want to see if Zerg would give me the boost/ez mode that some people claim. I got my Terran to slightly below my Protoss level pretty damn quickly because I'm (relatively) good mechanically.Learning another hotkey layout would be such a pain to try and prove a point, especially to my friends who play Zerg but are terrible at the game. Actually, I may have to do this now, pettiness ftw! | ||

I did not watch much of BW before it "died", but I watched all BW dailies and Sayle's casts and I have to say as somewhat of a newcomer to BW I loved watching ZvZ. | ||

Watched GSL today and I hoped Bogus will at least show some light. Now back to not watching this crappy game. Yeah, racial distribution is a problem, since few people enjoy watching ZvZ (or PvP for that matter). TvT at least had variety due to different play styles (marine-tank, bio, mech, and the occasional sky). | ||

If it's against the rules then Ryung should be punished regardless of whether or not he has a valid opinion. There are rules and they must be followed. Doesn't matter if Ryung had said "cheeseyballs on fire" or "Browder is a hairy nerd"; if GOM have a rule against in game chat then they need to punish him because of the act of chatting, not because of whatever was said in the message (which is irrelevant to the rule) Have fun arguing about it though Man, being on TL LR threads always puts me in a lousy mood the rest of the day | ||

Some of the best ZvPs I saw were failed hydra busts that turned into insanely long games. As for ZvZ, the muta/scourge micro was super intense but there was definitely nothing beautiful about a matchup where the tiniest misclick or misjudgment instantly ended the game at any point. | ||
