I don't know if I should root for Kas or Socke... Socke seems to be in form, and that's applaudable. But Kas has been a favourite of mine since back in 2010, and Empire is my team of choice! Suppose I'll have to go with Kas.

I know right, International TLPD is a mess :<

Here in particular in head to head they're missing at least the BO10 in Pokerstrategy League which Kas won 8-2, that would have been nice to mention.


Sounds like a BO15

it's more about asymetric balance imo. I think a lot of good old 2b all in are still really good against lower lvl Z. But once your opponent has a ton of brood and infest, well, knowing you have maybe 10% of winning is a rather frustrating feeling.

This made me laugh

some people...


what's funny about this ?

2 base Protoss all ins go all the way to the top.


i was thinking about stuff that are no longer used like a +2 blink stalker all in. With proper control you can wreck most Z. Even 2b colo build have still some potential.

Sorry, I misread your comment

It still doesn't make very much sense though. You say that old Protoss all ins still kind of work and then say it is ok for Protoss to frustrated because new Zerg metagame is hard to beat without bringing up new Protoss metagame which is working well.


What i'm trying to say is that you can have a very good PvZ even at lower level, but the match up is really frustrating because your chances are really small lategame. Sure you can be winning 60% of your PvZ with blink all in and that's cool but you almost can't beat a max infestor/blord army. And the fact that the pro face the same thing (i'd love to have data about this but I think we can agree than Z late game > P late game by a good margin) leads to a lot of balance whine.
Statistic balance doesn't mean the match up isn't fucked up.

yes but you must admit the balance whine is not applicable. Design whine maybe...


it's not rational :D but since balance whine comes from frustration (you don't balance whine a lot when you win or the match up is ok) it's normal that it comes out.

ah ok, I thought you were trying to say it was justified. My mistake


no problem. I don't care about PvZ a lot anyway. From a personnal pov it's better if P are favored since I find TvP to be really good nowadays haha
Zest fanboy.

The only functional and updated form of player statistics I've seen are the Aligulac and SC2charts.

I'm pretty sure Khaldor gets his stats from somewhere else, not TLPD.

Yeah, I think so too, since he's somewhat affiliated with sc2charts.net afaik.

Either way, as a history buff, this tournament reminds me of the partitions of Poland, with Germany, Russia (yes Kas is Ukrainian, but Ukraine used to be part of Russia), but instead of Austria, we have Korea, and they look to be taking most of Poland :p


Haha I didn't think about it this way, but you are 100% right.

I really hope Kas wins this and then our Polish crowd can give him strength to beat Koreans

Socke seems to win all his PvTs from 2 base all ins. Why open greedy 3 cc against him?
