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.

Did Life use any new HOTS units? I feel like Flash lost because he relied on widow mines instead of tanks. Life pretty much played standard Ling/Bling/Muta.

no, life didn't. the only HOTS thing that you could count was projectile fungals.

Didn't he use Vipers to catch Medivacs on Planet S?

Yeah that last game the pack took 3 mine hits at the 4th and Life would've been in trouble but for the regen.

All the randomness that widow mines bring is great for the game. Stuff like that is what made BW a great spectator game because you never knew what would happen and it added suspense to games rather than knowing how fights would turn out before they even happened.

Perhaps that's how you feel personally. For me I despise the 'random' things in Starcraft, takes away from it as a legitimate competitive activity to a degree, for me anyway.

The guy posting about lucky/unlucky scarabs hits the nail on the head.


That's nonsense every competitive sport in the world has some luck/randomness involved. The weather, wind, bounce of a ball, the referees decision. It makes it more exciting and entertaining for the spectator. Mines and scarabs in BW were awesome. Too much randomness is obviously bad and at the moment the widow mine might need tweaking a bit but its not far off

It would be like deliberately making poor refereeing decisions in football just to spice things up a bit.

Acceptable randomness is things like pulling your overlord back just inches from that proxy pylon, or things on that basis, but that's just me.


Man can't control the weather (yet? maybe? someday? who knows). Man, however, can control proper programming in a computer game. Why accept randomness when you can fix it?


Simply because it's more entertaining. Crucially it adds tension, which is the key to all popular sports. There's a reason nobody watches chess (and i say this as a former chess player) which is probably the least random game there is.

This is balls, people don't watch football to see things like Darren Bent's infamous deflected shot off a balloon, or other freak occurrences.

It does add a bit of spice and talking points afterward though, I'll give you that.

I think it's funny that someone like Flash runs his bio in the same control group as his medivacs while kiting, preventing them from healing while doing it. I mean, in some situations it makes sense but not ALL of the time.

All the same, the matches this MLG were phenomenal.

He used vipers succesfully in g1 and the new ultras. I found ultra ling with viper/muta support to be extremely interesting. edit: already said.

Geoff and Anna I am sorry If I offended you, and anyone reading this thread.

I just really enjoyed the job you did at MLG and had a great time watching the stream

I apologise to the whole of the TL community for any offence caused, it was foolish of me to make my feelings public and put everyone in an uncomfortable position.

I hope this does not put my strategic discussion under greater scrutiny.

I love TL!!!!!!!!!!

Just look at BW and how entertaining the games were. Some of the best moments were also the most random. Spider mines (particularly when they hit probe maynardes, recalls or ggaemo's hydras), reaver scarabs, % miss vs high ground all added that spice to the games. It's boring to be able to look at a game and state with certainty what's going to happen next (RL sports already have this in spades, whereas with PC games it has to be built in). Personally I'd much rather the tension a little explosive randomness brings and the potential for the unexpected.

Im not denying he is.

But also Zergs are still strong in Hots, so after a huge domination in Lings of Liberty, zerg players, please stop the complainining...
