Coming back to thread now I'm surpirsed to read so much balance whine. I don't know but for me First made just so many more blunders in the games than Yoda did. It's also too early to call out balance issues. Players need time to adapt. And last: SC2 main problem never has been about balance but about broken match ups (means the matchup statistic is even but the games are only big fat random shit).

Which kespa player qualified and declined to go ? The only "kespa" player was parting and was eliminated by yoda himself.


Purebred Kespa players generally don't participate in IEM events.


And this is why Kespa fanboys get the hate.

So your first post is made invalid by your second.
What was the point again except the obvious Kespa crap?

This is ridiculous. Terran just 1a their marines and win. I wish blizzard would just nerf terran. They are so OP they win 4-0 in grand finals ezpz. Even a terran beat MVP, who is the best player in the world. Nerf that race...

. . .

Seriously though I can't wait for Protoss and Zerg to get some more games under their belts. I'd like to see some more oracle play, some more poking out and recalling, some more swarm hosts, more burrow play, etc etc etc.

So far the Medivac Play and Widow Mine play we've been seeing from Terran is awesome and so much more enjoyable to watch. I'd like to see some more Swarm Host play. I know Ret was doing it against protoss, but it'll be interesting to see how (or if) zerg incorporate them into their army compositions.

I hope Blizzard doesn't buff Zerg yet, i feel like the game is great and zerg players need some time to adapt.

reactive play always develops slower than the aggressive plays (because it hasn't been mapped out yet).

Remember when two oracles each got 1shot by widow mines? The units that took a huge investment in gas and tech vs. a unit from a factory that would get made anyway? Oracles are useless against widow mines, which are easily the best unit in the game.

I'm not saying First should have beaten Yoda- Yoda was clearly the better player, his multi-pronged harassment and splits vs. storms were insane. But putting a widow mine in your mineral line and being immune to everything shouldn't work- the widow mine splash should be enough to oneshot SCV's. That would make the unit take a little more thought to use.

Maybe protoss can store up some energy and envision first, or fly hallucinations into mineral lines for free splash on the workers, then finish them off with oracles. Blindly flying oracles into a mineral line with the possibility of mines seems kinda risky

Damn, sad MVP lost. That screws up his chance of a code s seed because it would have been easy to give him one for winning, but now people would complain if he got one by jumping ahead of first. I say who cares. Give MVP a code s seed anyways!

The weird thing is that he did fly a hallucinated oracle into the main first, which got killed off by a mine, but then he waited for ages until he flew in the real deal and so the mine was reactivated (he also blindly flew one into the natural even though he at that point knew there was a mine in the main which shouldve tipped him off there could be one in the natural as well). He ought to have flown the hallucinated oracle into the main when the real one was just outside the base and then only waited like 5-10 secs before he flew in with both of the real ones.

After seeing that mediocre amount of cheering at the end of the grand finals I think that is more than enough reason to make cebit part of the circuit and have the WC at somewhere with an amazing crowd.

PLEASE IEM, give us the excitement of an amazing crowd for the biggest piece of the tournament!!! this tradeshow crowd sucks

I didn't watch all the terran games, but I didn't see hellbats being made much? Why is that? Terrans holding back so they won't get nerfed? They're still viable aren't they?
