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. |

Amusingly PvT on the map was 9-2 in WoL lol

Is it normal that in the mid game terran has always 20 30 more supply?? Every TvP at this mlg was like that. I'm a zerg player so I have little idea about the match up but I always thought in TvP in nothing big happens the supply should be kind of equal.

Innovation is on a roll, damn.

I think that parting wouldve won on any other map there really. Of course he got a bit lucky/flash made a huge mistake in that he even got a third up.
But I dont get how you can say flash played perfectly. He forgot concussive shields for a long time, he had a really wonky unit comp against all those zealots, parting stormed like theres no tomorrow etc.
|
At this point I don't really see how anyone stops Innovation. None of his games have been close, and his best matchup is TvT.

Parting holds was almost at Tarsons level

The map is fine. You just need to be active with your army to defend it and he took the furthest away third as Flash had him contained.
That sort of map is a hella lot better than having a third right next to your main. It leads to much more interesting games.

So, one of the big focuses of Blizzz for Hots - mech terran. Any succes with that? Was some mech at MLG?

Yeah no. Don't attribute a Flash victory to balance. Bio got weaker, and Flash carried his marines on his shoulders.

How freaking scary can Flash be o_o I don't see that as Flash being scary at all, huge advantage from 15min and an econ advantage whole game and takes over 15min longer to win from there(and didn't look too convincing).
|
really good match, flash was kind of outplayed in the late game but his early game advantage turned out to be too much.
|
GOGO PARTING! CHOO CHOOOOO
|
Are these 10 mins break between each game REALLY necessary??

There would be no way he'd get back to his 4th after killing it if flash turned around like he did to stop parting from going to the natural. Was a pretty strange decision to essentially give his 4th away for flash's 4th.

Kind of funny that you think I pick my attire when I am hired to do gigs.

Not good for any matchup really  It's by far the most interesting map in the entire map pool. It's always seemed like a slightly bigger version of belshir beach, which is fine for proleague where you can race pick but for tournaments like this I have my doubts.
(And yes, I agree that the free 3 base maps in WoL got stale and were terribly boring. I like the idea of including more varied maps, but the way that game played out with parting forced to two base isn't very interesting either.)

Why did Parting never take the expansion just to the right of his main?
