The sad thing about speed-medivacs is that while they allow T to harass to their hearts content, they also force their opponent to stay defensive. They make for a turtlier game.


Not really, but the zerg/protoss needs to take air control with muta/phoenix. Else, he'll be dropped like a madman.

Maybe but mutas are lame late game . The Terran is just going to sit, max on 3-3 or 2-2 and crush the Zerg .
Viper/ultras seems to be better and with lings/infestors and static defense you can deal with drops .


Muta midgame, overlord speed, vipers + infestors lategame. Ultralisk so that you can fight the terran head to head. I think it's the way yeah.


From what i've seen on streams like Hyun's, mutas are not really the answer. They can't catch up to medivacs anymore and they seem to deal poorly with 2 bases pushes while their harass potential has been reduced because of the widow mines.

I'm waiting to be proven wrong though, i would love for Mutas to be the cornerstone of zergs again.



Well widow mines shouldn't hit air, everybody knows that :p I hope they nerf widow mine this way, and that medivac boost cost energy. Maybe we could see less one-sided games.

But everyone isn't getting equal amounts of practice, and certainly not equal quality of practice. Same goes for infrastructure and mentality - the Koreans (usually) have it all, and talent, whereas foreigners only have some of those.


Yeah sure, but I mean, in the Netherlands we have a gold medalist at snowboarding. There are no mountains in our country. That is not good practice environment but with enough dedication anything is/should be possible. But not with SC2 it seems


Does this gold medalist practice in the Netherlands?


also doubt he would be gold medalist with a country that would have embraced snowboarding as a national thing. I mean there is a reason korea has laws regarding gaming. Some countries are getting closer to obtain a gaming culture though, but it is still really sports heavy.

Just as how you can root for any player or team in any sport, you can root against one. Disliking/ cheering against a player doesn't mean you're being disrespectful. Anti-fans will necessarily exist just as much as fans will.


It just means you're a pretty sad person.

Not at all.

I believe their is and should be a spectrum. I have people I love, like, neutral, dislike, and heavily dislike, etc. I am a big Flash fan and a big antiMKP fan and neutral with curious.

Polt crushed Creator 5-1 in IPL FC, and the games ended one-sided. Wasn't really Creator's greed, more Creator playing very sloppy with his all-ins and late-game engagements.

82k people watched Stephano get destroyed by a player 99% of them have never heard of before since Last has only played in PL and the first sc2 OSL.

not to be an asshole but i gotta say i've been wondering about many decisions that MLG makes for a long time. they've been receiving heavy criticism for mass downtime, then they finally announce they'll 'fix it' like 2 years later... and then they don't fix shit. i guess they show the players faces before they actually start playing sometimes, which is kinda cool. that 'highlight reel' thingy was rather embarassing though, not sure that people a-moving hellbats into mineral lines with Axeltoss saying stuff over it is the best possible content you could come up with. i personally don't even mind the downtime that much, i know how to keep myself busy and/or entertained on the computer, but i'm just astonished by the fact that fixing something like this seems to be so difficult for MLG, along with many other decisions they have made, and yet they still manage to invite all the best players in the world (and then add some random americans... well let's not get into that one), have amazing games, solid caster lineups and more or less flawless production. you would think if they can handle all this stuff, they could produce a few decent videos and have someone actually play them between games.

but that doesn't stop you from watching does it? My guess is that they're aware of this but there are just so much bigger things to focus on, production-wise that would affect viewer counts more.

Honestly, if Flash would practice only four hours a day living at home in NA, he'd still be better than all foreigners. Talent also plays a role and Korea has always had more competitive players and higher status for professional gamers. (not more players)


If you mean he would be had he been born in the USA etc then I call absolute BS. If you mean if he moved there at start of SC2 then I can see it...

Why not? What player in NA does have equal natural talent as Flash?
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Starcraft 131k > LoL 95k !!


Starcraft is dying

LoL 123k > Starcraft 116k

http://www.twitch.tv/ and LoL game just started.

Watching LoL streams is like watching paint dry. I definitely anticipate a huge influx of players constantly coming to SC for esports.


LoL has 32 million active users, they have plenty of people they can grab through marketing and advertising to watch their streams.

100k viewers is like 0.3% of its playerbase. Though this should tell you how dedicated starcraft fans are relative to the playersize


Haha, I was going to say that too. 32 million players yet they can only pull in 100k to watch MLG, while SC2 only has a few million (4 million?) and we are able to get the same amount.

there's no MLG for lol, just the same championship games they get every single week
there was a showmatch, but it was yesterday

i wonder if protoss players realize how powerful void rays are nowdays. i think some kind of chargelot voidray timing with sheild upgrades (boosts both air and ground defence) with a mothership core and templar tech as a followup could be incredibly deadly in almost every matchup.

They practice smarter and longer. That's about it.

Ehh, I'm not so sure it's so simple. There is most certainly a cultural element at work in Korean dominance; 'tis not only how they practice but why they practice.


What I said is a general description that does not take into account the infrastructure, community, schedules, personnel, or personal motivation of Korean teams. But all of it serves to create better dedicated practice, which is the key difference between Korean and foreign players. The very best players usually create their own specific schedules and habits which distinguishes them from their peers.

Yes, and my point is that there is a reason that those who benefit from or are able to devote themselves to dedicated practice in the manner you describe are Korean. I mean, you can stop at "it's the practice", but I'm more interested in why Koreans are so able and willing to practice in such a way. Try as they might, foreigners are seemingly unable to recreate it in any way, be it by traveling to Korea or creating a domestic team house. There is more at work here than just practice.
