Well it takes even more skill to counter with a hellbat drop whilst deflecting opponent's hellbat drop. Which is why the skill cap is extremely high with hellbat drops. It's no coincidence that innovation, who has the best multitask and mechanics of anyone, is also the hellbatman.



Yep.

Select, faster than every foreigner, says he likes the new TvT because of the required multitask.


There is no problem that hellbats require multitasks. The problem is when hellbat dropping skill alone determine the game, so other equally important skills never come to play. Select also said that he liked using hellbats, but not defending against them.

Remind me not to care about another tvt ever. Innovation flash was about as uneventful and boring a match as you could hope for. It looks like just complete luck on where someone decides to drop hellbats and defender put his turrets,vikings, hellbats just kind of boring.


To restore your heart, go watch Ryung vs Puma from MLG somethign

or Ryung vs SC

or MMA vs SC

^both from GSTL this season

Personally, Ryung vs Puma is like the greatest of all time

MMA vs Gumiho

Thats the first time since MLG Finals where Flash looked noticeably rattled.

Really glad that Rain won today. He is still far and beyond the best Protoss - I really hope he'll be able to win this OSL.
Not too sad that Parting lost, his PvZ has always been, let's say, one dimenional and he also has a bad streak ever since leaving ST imo. My hopes rest on Rain and First this season

same exact thing with zealot warp ins. a move and the opponent micros his ass off while you do something else. even the new muta is a lot harder to defend against then to use.

If harassment was harder to execute than defending it than there would be no point of doing it.


zealot warp ins typically occur when an opponent has 3-4+ bases and both sides have 200 supply to work with. zealot warp ins punish an opponent that is too spread out and has neglected stationary defenses

hellbat drops typically occur in the early to early-mid game which have an impact on where the game goes into the mid & late game for an opponent

early game zealot warp in potential is harassment assuming the opponent isn't brain dead and can run workers away from melee ranged zealots

early game hellbat drop potential can be catastrophic due to hellbat AoE and medivac mobility



how is that different from Hellbats? It's funny that when watching players with good TvT, they make turrets, bunker, and have good enough reaction to take minimal damage from Hellbats.

Because one mistake and three seconds of not paying attention to two Hellbats loses you 20-30 workers. One mistake and not paying attention to equal supply Zealots loses maybe 10ish?

Ok nerf hellbats. They ruined the Flash vs Innovation series and the Trap series...its looks stupid that terran can just drop over and over again while doing minimal dmg and then it just works once and the protoss loses. unfair.

Haha, in your example Bomber would beat Innovation, but Flash isn't allowed to lose to Bomber because then he doesn't deserve to be Ro8? You're harsh :D

Either way, I'm not worrying too much, at the start it was said their main competition would be each other and today was always going to have a loser. And this way it's impossible for them to meet until the finals, so I'm not complaining (:

nice hyperbole. Just because Tasteless screams, "oh my god so much damage" when a player kills 5 scvs for 2 hellbats and a medivac doesn't mean it was worth it.

It definitely seems that the more hyped matches are, the shittier they get, Jesus. And yeah, I'm referring to Flash V. Innovation.

That second game of flash verse innovation just felt wrong. Seeing flash down 30 scvs from like 2 drops cost him the game I mean how much skill was there in flash not being able to stop that? Seemed pretty stupid does that really mean innovation is the more skilled player?

The better player won that game, certainly. They both had the same tools available to them, Flash knew what he was in for given the prevalence of Hellbats in TvT.

tiebreakers will be determined by bo.1 matches on the last day of the ro.16 broadcast, after all matches.

I dunno, man.

Surely, it was right to play the flat out broken hellbat drops on map with shortest by-air travel distance, but it's like saying that "hey, he survived til BL/Infestor, he's better player" in 2012.

That analogy doesn't really work. BL/Infestor was considered imba because non-Z's had tons of trouble dealing with it. In this case, it's a mirror matchup.

It's nothing like that, this is a mirror matchup, not Terran or Protoss struggling to win in the late game vs Zerg.
