OK, that looked silly. He had his army in place to intercept the drop, in almost perfect position, and it just speeds by and lives? wtf?

crappy, one sided finals terran is not fun to watch atm. cant wait for the next balance patch


I really hope blizzard doesn't wait too long before making some drastic balance changes.

They should wait quite a while. Rushing into balance changes made Zerg what it became in the end of WoL. They need to give players the chance to figure out ways to defeat their enemies.

No they should not, some imbalances are super obvious and waiting won't make them go away.


What imbalances are super obvious from this series? I see First playing like trash.


I'm not talking about this series. I would never make a balance judgement of a single series or game. In the first game First actually played amazing and YoDa botched his drop, however he still fell behind because you can never take your third at the time you'd need it to keep up with the terran eco because you'd be spread out too much and can't defend against teleport medivacs anymore. The problem is that you can't take your third at a reasonable timing anymore.
Zerg has the same problem, but it's even worse. Widow mines mean you can't take your third ever before you have overseers, terran can simply 'outgreed' you. That's not gonna solve itself by waiting but need to be patched.


Well, zergs could 'outgreed' everyone since the Queen patch...

To the people crying imbalance, here are MaNa's thoughts on the series via Twitter:

Yoda plays so amazing, love the way he scans always before walking in with army, never gets caught off with storm. I am amazed. #IEM

these finals are a joke. First is so lackluster + terran drops are too strong now.

Feel like yoda could probably take the series with his eyes closed
