I'd be interested to see how widow mines work without being able to hit air. That said, I hope Blizzard doesn't patch the game for a few months at least, as I want to see how TvZ develops.


My guess is that blizzard gave the WM an anti-air ability because mech sucks vs air. With an aa warhound, WM's could be anti-ground only and 1 supply.


Just say Goliath, srsly.

I have to add that Goliaths are the coolest unit out there. Especially the sound of their AA rockets...


If you want to play broodwar, go play broodwar, it's a great game .... but without rocks :p


And i'd give goliaths the fire splash ability of hellbats, but weaker of course. Just make them good vs light, and the tanks are supposed to take care of the rest. Would be cool.

By the way since WM's take supply, ressources and production time, why not make them scale with upgrades ? They'd be weaker in early game and stronger in late game, sounds like an option blizzard should really consider.

I think yoda played really well but mines need a slight nerf.

i don't think mines being too strong were the problem that game. ret could have squeezed more out of his attack, which was a big gamble that didn't pay off. after that i think yoda was too far ahead anyways.

gj to ret though, super strong showing in groups even though it's still the beta. hope to see more of his zvp in the playoffs.


so funny how forum terrans defend themselves lol, every pro terran (even yoda 2 minutes ago) openly admit that terran is hugely favored against zerg right now and the mine is only one of the problems

We learned from the zergs in WoL

Altho i think terran is a bit OP in TvZ atm, you really do have to appreciate his control, those widows mines in hands of noob terran can actually kill him

That would remove the interesting dynamic of baiting widow mine shots

If you have the mines, you need to make them as cost efficient as possible.

If you are playing vs the mines, you need to make them as cost inefficient as possible.


That's true though I guess my main problem was how much of a security blanket it was even when his proxy got scouted so early. That and I just don't like Terran very much


you can't bait widow mine shots really vs a player who knows about something blizzard doesn't consider a bug.


What's that?

Its not a bug its micro.

in the current HOTS metagame 10 drone scout for proxy is not that unlikely, plus its ret, i bet he faced many of those openings.

I don't think 8/8 is as bad as some people make it out to be, but Widow mines do feel a little WOL infestor-ish with it's good vs everything feel. Sample size is still ridiculously small, but hopefully Blizzard is watching this tournament very carefully.

Hey guys, searched through the thread for comments about my cast, I understand the observing concerns and will do MUCH better tomorrow. No excuses to be made, but I have taken every comment into consideration. Thanks very much for the feedback I was mostly concerned about making sure I didn't talk too fast during this cast, now I have a new focus!

Group A & B results from today:

TvZ: 53%
TvP: 29%
ZvP: 37%

% against other races combined:

Protoss: 65.85%
Terran: 41.37%
Zerg: 40.47%
I should warn you, getting what you want and being happy are two quite different things.
