The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

Medivac boost doesn't change a lot of things at my level (low master level) but damn how it becomes SOOO powerfull in the hand of people who have the ability to double/triple drop.

Polt surprisingly got more terrifying after staying in Texas. His macro improved greatly, and HotS game him some new toys to collaborate with his excellent Bio control.

Oh my, Polt is just scarier with Ignite Afterburners.

I don't understand. Did you expect him to be less scary with buffed medivacs?

Why doesn't he use nexus cannon? I'd at least throw a few cannons down in those air lanes too.

Potential balance issues aside.... These speed medivacs make for good entertainment imo, Constant aggression and attacks multi prong attacks etc. much better to watch then turtle up death balls.

They dont look stronger than WoL. I've seen the exact same level of dismantling happen in WoL too by players like Polt.

Why exactly are koreans so much better than the others? With equal practice everyone should be able to get the same skilllevel. Kind of mindboggling.


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.


The gaming culture is different. eSports is treated as a legit career in Korea, which people are willing to sacrifice their youth for. Competition is sponsored by major corporations, and broadcast on TV.

Imagine Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, etc. coming in and sponsoring eSports teams in the West, and it being shown regularly on Cable TV, and local heroes who are the talk of the day in high schools and colleges. That's the equivalent of what Korea has.

3 years ago, yes


It's still that way today. The culture is there whether the game is BW, SC 2, LoL, etc. I'm talking about eSports as a whole here, not just SC 2, because Korean success in SC 2 is a product of the larger eSports culture and is not standalone.

The anti terran biais on Twitter from community figures is disgusting.
Just looking at the names, almost none of the match played would have had differents results in WoL so far.

Well the speedvacs make for an exciting game, but I'm not certain they'll survive as-is in the next patch. After watching the TvZs I wondered what the speedvacs would mean for PvT at the highest level.


Watch Partings PvT, he deals with drops super well.

This sort of reminds me of when you fall behind vs mutas in PvZ in WoL. The way that you just cant stabilize because the pressure is neverending and they use the fact that you are behind to pressure you until you break.
