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. | ||

Flash and Innovation always brought much more and always made sure to scatter a few behind so that he could retreat behind them. Sure zerg will pick off a bunch, but they're so much cheaper than tanks and build so much faster with reactored factories. Tanks with the amount of creep a zerg can put on a map with the number of queens out on a map pretty much gets annihilated by a wave of ling bling muta. yeah thats another way to look at it basically reactored factories CRANK out the mines SO FAST and the mine costs 75/25 tanks cost 150/125 realistically, a mine and a tank almost do the same thing in the midgame battle. So imagine if in WoL tanks only costed 75/25 and they could be reactored (lol) thats pretty much what the mines are and its what caused the huge terran dominance we saw yesterday for the terrans spamming mines im not saying its OP i think swarmhosts can deal with it since a zerg going swarmhosts should even it out and create a sort of "new wol situation" where the zerg still has more economy. a smart terran going mines should pretty much force skilled swarmhost use since swarmhosts are lair broodlords to trigger the mines freely | ||

Yeah it's rather depressing. I'm a bit lucky in that I'm working night shift so I might be able to catch the whole thing, I'll just be absolutely dead at work. | ||

If he runs right into that a good stim could obliterate this army." Husky: "Here it is, he has it now, does MVP realize the upgrade's done? He could stim right now - This would actually be perferct! He might not even need to here, TB, his units just aren't dying!" TotalBiscuit: "These are well positioned, man, they really really are, the zealots are having trouble, really, getting to grips with the main army. But, (I? [very unclear, seems like he changed his mind halfway through the word or my English just is bad]) MC -may- just have enough, a force field on the ramp - It's not complete - MVP is able to continue his fire. Another wave is coming in right there -" Husky & TotalBiscuit: "GEEGEEEEEE" Even though something like that isn't directly said, one could say it was implied. Especially in the final sentence of Husky's portion. Do note I'm merely a neutral observer here. oh come on. It was hard enough to tell with the forcefields. Plenty of people have called fights wrong. Tastosis included. Why quibble about such a small detail? So what if they called it wrong. It was cleared up in less than a minute once gg was called. Besides, these two are hype casters. If you're going to call them for each error (which even analytical casters make frequently), you're going to be two unhappy Pandas. Just sit back and enjoy. If you don't like a caster, just mute them or decrease volume. | ||

MC did well to beat MVP, but I wonder if he'll be able to repeat that against the other Terrans. I don't think that MVP is in his best form at the moment, and MCs builds seemed like they could be quite counterable by Terran players who are more familiar with HotS or more creative players. Bomber comes to mind if I had to think about one who might be able to handle that better. Oh right, and Life vs Polt: It was one of the best series of the tournament, some really good matches. It's still sort of curious that I'm not seeing a whole lot of Swarm hosts even though they are supposed to be Widow Mines' natural enemy, what might be the reason for that? | ||

The game is just so interesting and fun to watch atm. doubtful with how much zerg players are losing their shit after dominating for almost a year games today and yesterday were some of the most exciting we have ever seen, and people want to change it? | ||

So was the G-League finals in China, which had finals for SC2, WC3, LoL, and especially the big one for DotA2. I actually wasn't planning on watching GSL since it was a ZvZ, but with all those other leagues on at around the same time, I ended up watching it anyways. | ||

Seems to be getting a lot less attention than most other Terrans. Last is definitely a contender to win this MLG, but so are everyone else in this stacked ro8 | ||
