He is there as a caster with TakeTV and usually at the Acer booth . He is staying at Take's palyce for quite some time now.



Alright. Thanks


He is at Cebit with TakeTv i guess.
He was doing casting with them yesterday.
I think IEM asked him, if he likes to do the job,
because they don't have a zerg at the table

I can't wait til Stephano figures out a ZvP swarmhost build. They're so strong once there's momentum and Stephano's the guy to figure out how to generate that momentum. What will it be from grubby? How easy is it to get that skytoss doomball with uber voids?

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.


This would make sense if it was a HoTS terran was play a WoL Protoss. Protoss also got some defensive units/spells to work with.


We get two units that can't attack air, one that comes extremely late in the game, and a spell that adds a 13 range photon cannon. That's really not much extra drop defence.


You got recall...

So you either...
recall against a small drop --> pick up and leave in the 5 second recall stun
recall against a doom drop --> lose army in the 5 seconds recall stun


a) you can't deny the 1-minute "13 range photon cannon" is really powerful (which G didn't even use)

b) a korean protoss would've warped the stalker in the main 10 seconds earlier, defended the drop, and everyone would've went 'omg so gosu omg omg' (talking about the entombed game)

dno how the fuck is there so much discussion about something that was clearly a messup (including g2 here)

It's always been that, apart from as WoL progressed it went:

Korean Terran > Protoss > Zerg >>>>>>>> Foreign Terran

to

Zerg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Protoss > Korean Terran >>>>>>>>> Foreign Terran.

Far away are the days when Grubby was the favorite against Stephano, back in wc3 :D. It's a new game and he isn't 15 years old anymore.

He had extremely slick timings, scouting, and micro (read: drops) and made Grubby look really bad despite Grubby not actually playing that bad.

First game triple pronged attack, grubby scouted 1 medivac but it still got through due to speed. Second game Grubby went DT and Mvp built a turret, went downhill from there.

This would make sense if it was a HoTS terran was play a WoL Protoss. Protoss also got some defensive units/spells to work with.


I know right, protoss has the ability to transform any nexus they want into a planetary fortress that shoots air and has more range than a siege tank, which they can instantly recall a large chunk of their army on to if they have the energy for it (which they should). Sure drops got stronger, but don't act like drop defense didn't get stronger too..


The difference, though, is that medivac speed requires no investment from the player while spending energy is a sacrifice.


And blink made no sacrifice while stim took HP off. Should blink have costed HP as well?


Shit, burrow even makes your roaches able to heal hp quicker, clearly this must be fixed asap.
