Why didn't Idra tell him how to play HotS?


did i miss some good Idra drama ?


He played a great series vs Minigun recently.



So he got stomped ... was that from MLG ? cause this only makes me more intrested.

I really hope the final release balances some of these issues.


Are you crazy o_O

All the ZvX matchups are so crazy good ! Way better than WoL imo

Well, maybe all ZvX BUT ZvZ. ^^


ZvZ looks awesome!
I may be biased because mutalisk & zerglings are my favorite zerg units (and maybe the only zerg units I like lol) though.

Balance has nothing to do with why people bitch a lot of the time.

I'm not bitching incidentally. I was really, really not all that fussed on HoTS, haven't touched WoL in months but I'm actually pretty excited for it now after viewing some cool games.

WoL at the end had so few cool games it just killed it for me, regardless of racial preferences a lot of people I know felt the same way as well.

You heard it here first, Mvp is so good that people are having to invent new words to describe his play.

I gotta say, HotS is looking reaaaaaally refreshing right now in almost every matchup except PvP and maybe ZvZ. I love the BW-esque feeling it's been getting.

Seriously though, PvP is f_ing terrible right now haha

OK, I have to ask, why does everyone pronounce "chitinous" with "ch" as in "cheap"? The root word is "chitin", which is pronounced "kahy".

Just wondering, as I have heard several people in the SC2 community actually correct people that say "kahy-tin", telling them it is pronounced the other way.

I really hope the final release balances some of these issues.

Other races had fuck all light pressures to use on Zerg. Hope this trend towards harassment continues, if imbalanced over time patch but not now.

Medivac speed boost needs actively triggered and is fine imo. Zerg players can defend drops better than they have been doing, indeed Stephano at his 'peak' was immense at this. Zerg units move faster than everything else on average, especially on creep so I think their sheer speed can definitely help even if you are caught off guard.

I'd prefer 'too strong' medivacs at present and see how they go, than watching harass be deflected by fungalling everything instantly. if they're too strong in a few months, re-evaluate then

The harassment is very one-sided though. It's very easy for terran to turtle and be completely safe.

I would much prefer an activation-cost of using the speedboost. Would make it a matter of consideration whether to use your get-out-of-jail-free-card.

*and yeah I agree, great games today

In the end, the only real upset is MC going out in favor of Ret. The more accomplished players have gone through, so HotS balance is actually really good if you look at it that way.
