Okay great play by MVP but looking at his usage of speed medivacs... How does terran lose with that unit, the mobility is retarded.


Because it requires absolutely stupid amounts of micro to use the way MVP did.

I seriously doubt the imbalance extends beyond the top tier pros.


Well but that's what it is about, the game has to be balanced around Flash, Rain and Roro.

Now Flash with these medivacs is not balanced.


And you know that how? Are you some kind of oracle who just KNOWS that people wont be able to defend these drops once they learn to deal with it? Btw im considering playing the lottery, can you inbox me the winning numbers please?


Well everyone basically agreed on this after the last rain vs flash games in code A. Sorry I never win a thing and don't play the lottery^^.

"Everyone basically agreed", well that's enough to convince me. The amazingly insightful hivemind called something imba, they must be correct.


Okay let me elaborate. Blizzards argument for the new ability is that drops are figured out and are no longer viable. But they want to see drops so they buffed medivacs. Now Flash showcased that terrans can still dismantle their opponents completely with normal medivac drops if timed correctly and executed by one of the best. So if Rain had no chance defending it without speedboost imagine it in hots. That's what "everyone agreed on" but let's just wait and see and enjoy the games as they are right now. Looking forward to players adapting their drop defense as the tournament goes on.

Rain didn't play well these games, it's like you are saying a terran should not ever be able to beat a protoss with drop, wtf?
Rain and Flash were both doing quite bad in proleague (relative to their standards), a protoss more in form could have beaten Flash so what's your point. Two games ain't enough to prove anything anyways.

You are making whole arguments about 1 match from code A. Don't you think that is kinda silly?


No I don't think it's ever silly to think about what might be and discuss things with other people. I am not balance whining or getting mad about it. Everyone knows the game is not balanced right now. I very much enjoy seeing OP things used and watch the best players show what might be OP. That's exactly why this tournament and the early phase of Hots is so interesting. I am still allowed to tlak about it or voice my opinion right? I am not trying to offend anybody^^. TLO said on his stream something like: "Early tournaments are all about finding what's OP and abusing it as much as possible before it gets patched", when I asked him why he plays so many swarmhost all ins zvp . And that's fun I think.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That's happened twice in SC2 history, but we still got time with HotS.


So I take it the TL writing staff is going to take its usual approach after IEM and not comment about the game so recently out of beta.

Wouldn't have hurt to be ahead of story (which definitely does not exist yet. Yes, 1 tournament does not make a case). Then again Tree hugger vanished to tlpro after dead presidents

To be fair there's a huuuuugeeee gap between foreign and korean protoss too. Terran more so tho.
