Metagame does make the maps. And differences should be subtle.

New wonky maps throw strategies out the window, and everything is reduced to gimmicks. As long as there is no metagame, there is no strategic depth.


Just because your sub par foreigners can't prepare and adapt doesn't mean a map shouldn't be played. This is how PL has always been, maps in fact add to the strategic depth.


Not when the metagame is thrown out the window.

No, strategic depth is developed when existing strategies are played out in relation to new ones. This generates the layers of strategy that constitutes the metagame. When the metagame is non-existent, everything is gimmick, and strategy is shallow. There is no depth.

That last game is a case in point, HerO's adherence to standard play was used against him there, the 'metagame' was referenced and exploited. Why is that not strategic?

Why are you so against different trends on different maps? There is no reason the trends (you call it metagame) should be the same in every match and new trends only develop in response to standard play. There is a lot of depth in having to play different styles to take advantage of maps.

Barely anyone watches pro league, based on this twitch viewercount I'm getting.


17k at 3:40 AM is amazing, lol.

What are you smoking? This beats almost any day of GSL when they were on Twitch exclusively for english casting.


it's 9;45 am in (central) europe, dont underestimate the amount of european sc nerds.

more people are watching this live than any of the GSL nights where they broadcasted on twitch.

GSL is only ~10k right? or was it actually less on twitch

But GSL also starts usually at 1:00 am on the west coast and 4:00 am on the east so...


GSL starts in the middle of the day for eu instead of 4 AM like proleague does, you trade one audience for another.

16k is nothing?

The 16k is at poor hours too. Granted it is the weekend, but still pretty late for US and very late for EU (or early depending on gamer sleep schedule vs normal sleep schedule).

EG-TL needs to get their fuckin' shit together. I love HerO and Taeja (a lot more luke warm on the EG players), but come the fuck on. These guys should be tearing this shit up.

fanboy talk?


I don't know that they should be tearing it up, as I didn't expect HuK to win at all, though I did have a little hope for thorzain. However, HerO's loss was just mind-boggling. He is an absolute miracle worker of microing in bad circumstances and creating last second walls at the last instant. To not wall or have a probe there was just thoughtless.


Though I will admit even with the wall I'm not entirely sure with that amount of lings that he would have held on without getting really far behind.

End answer: Hydra played HerO perfectly, but I really think it was a silly catch HerO should have been fully able to cope with, and I would have expected him to.

So, I kinda missed the opening. He went for a standard 3-hatch opening, made X starting drones then just went for a bunch of slowlings and attacked? Well, sniped indeed. It was funny if anything, not sure if it's "worth watching". Good job by Hydra though. So...JYP against effort? ugh, looks grim, let's hope he can pull it through.

I decided to go full foreigner and picked:

JYP, PuMa, Stephano (who isn't even there atm), Calm (who doesn't even play anymore and traded him for T-Zain because of point value), Sea and TaeJa. Why? For the lols and it's good fun.
