Soulkey goes for pool first followed immediately by a hatch

Roro drops the hatch first then gas then pool

Both players making queens and drones for the most part.

Soulkey starts speed

Roro is banking approximately 150 gas

holy tapdancing christ. ive just about had enough of these constant mirror matches


i swear back in the good ol days i remember of 2011 amazing tournaments like MLG GSL world championships, the golden age of SC2, it was like maybe 30% of games were mirrors

now its like 50%. tapdancing christ i hate how its heavily luck determined whether a tournament produces amazing entertaining brackets, or "eh" brackets filled with mirrors


I understand bracket fixing is seen as bad, but what about keeping randomized brackets but it would be randomized with a twist, it would attempt to keep mirror matches at 30% or less, and people would be randomly decided whether or not they are the ones forced to get a mirror....

i mean i dunno something needs to be done. this constant mirror starcraft is becoming unwatchably boring for me

i usually just tune into semi finals / finals now (assuming theres no mirrors) and watch that

i understand mirrors need to happen. but its just constant now.


look at this RO8. we have 4 mirrors........... but with a nice little random number generator making the brackets trying to create some non-mirrors and randomly determines who gets mirrors, we could have only 1-2 mirror matches
