It's really cool now, there's a lot of hydras and storm dodging and positioning with swarm hosts and zealot runbys, plus abducts on Colossus/Void Ray that can be countered with feedbacks. A lot of people still don't like it, but it's WAY better than Infestor/Brood Lord vs Mothership.

False, most games i see on professional streams are the protoss turtling to air and terrans turtling to mass ravens...Even from the games i've played, everyone just turtles for 20mins until they get maxxed out air. Quite frustrating.

As a protoss player who's worst matchup in hots so far is PvZ I say void rays need some kind of nerf tho, but agreed on everything u said.

Ah cool, thanks. I'd imagine turtling is still pretty popular on the ladder as it gives you the most amount of XP possible (more than a 2-base allin / cheese) per minute per game.

I assume the rest of the Ro32 games will be tomorrow along with the Ro16?

Wasn't blue stream SirScoot's stream?

edit: Apparently so.

Woohoo, almost @MLG time! Remember, any "mistakes" you think you see on SC2 Blue, are intentional and scripted!

Thanks. As for today's games. I want to see:

Huk v Innovation
Seed vs Rain
MKP vs Jjakji


The mirrors will probably be pretty meh quality, but its high level hots, so I'm excited. Flash or Innovation will win the whole thing is my guess. I'd love to have Bomber make a late tournament run though.
