- game seems pretty balanced, no major complains here but need to see more and time will tell. - some very interesting and entertaining games. - production wasn't the best i've seen, the switching shots between the game and players were driving me insane. - venue looked pretty good, much better with those moving lights etc. - award ceremony still sucks. - good free 720p stream! shame of the lag but twitch is lagging for months. - TB and Incontrol (needs a better shirt next time tho) are a great casting duo and the only duo i liked this weekend. - no analyses of the games on the first days, wtf is up with that? - the format sucks with a silly 3/4e place match - bring clutch back! - congrats with the stream numbers Overall a pretty good tournament but imo there's still a lot to improve. | ||

Flash wasn't practicing much hots beta and he admitted he hadn't been able to prepare much for the tournament..and that showed somewhat in his games..he's not totally used to everything yet. wait for more tournaments really Yeah, all of this complaining is so ridiculous. At least wait for a GSL/Proleague round to finish. | ||

I hate this idea of saying that a guy is obviously better because he is Korean, there is absolutely no logic behind it. Stephano has been considered (by Korean too) as one of the top Zerg in the world, he's not the best obviously but he is really good and has won a lot even at a time where Zerg were weaker, i don't know how you would not count that. He has been demolished 3-0. Leenock as well, does that not count to you? The fact that DRG, Soulkey, Curious have also been eliminated by terran does not count? A lot pros agrees on this, even terran Zerg is indeed a little bit weaker right now, even though Life has won the tournament. Fruitdealer also won first GSL, it doesn't mean terran wasn't the stronger race at the time. | ||

And while bio-mine is really mobile and potent, it doesn't quite have the staying power that tanks do, and while a big mine blast can kill many lings, well positioned tanks can do far, far more sustained damage overall, it does hurt harder when you lose them though. Overall Life was just the better player though, adapting to each opponent and using styles designed to exploit weaknesses in each opponent's style. Life is probably the most complete zerg to study right now, as his builds are probably good against almost anything anyone can trow at you. | ||

Yeah but, that's zergling baiting, which is fine and I said that was cool. People were mentioning mines should be more like Reaver scarabs from BW which would sometimes fizzle out and do nothing at seemingly random intervals. In essence. 1. Mitigating the splash with baiting and micro = awesome 2. Randomness = bad. I was wondering if there would be some way to hold mines fire via some APM intensive thing, as a Terran counter to Zergs baiting tactics that could come in. Might be ridiculous though, but I'd rather see those kind of solutions pursued than straight tweaks to damage and whatnot | ||

Yeah, Life didn't make one all-in that series, so I don't know what people are talking about and to the other guy. Flash might be considered God in BW, but good thing this is a different game. He's on a clean slate. I'm sure he'll improve in time. | ||

Gj Life, you are the true God of Starcraft 2 Micro should always be encouraged, it only ever benefits the game - baiting out mines with zerglings seems like a neat little mechanic for the matchup. Zergs not being able to rely on boring BL / Infestor compositions all the time now make the game so much better to watch. | ||

It activated but it hit last pack of zergling. That's what I saw. I could be wrong though. | ||

A subsection of Zerg players are a complete joke though and should be ignored as a general rule. Anyway, enough sniping, really enjoyed the tournament. Wanted more high-level PvZ to see how it functioned, but overall good stuff. We still don't really know how much the players involved have been grinding HoTS either, so that's a bit of an area of mystery. Will have a better idea of where players are at in the next month or so I'd imagine. | ||

I could be wrong though. I'm not sure either, and would have to watch the VoDs over again to really have an opinion on that specific incident. I'm not really sure why it would have hit the last lings (if that were the case) rather than the forward ones that had triggered it. | ||
