I just don´t know if I really like this new 30-40 muta metagame tbh. Tanks aren't going to help against a giant ball of mutas that can kill just about anything and go anywhere. Mutas are definitely the biggest problem I have with the XvZ metagame right now, as they're just frustrating as hell to watch. | ||

Satellite link - via a cable running out of the venue, down a street, and to wherever they paid 25k to park the satellite uplink truck in a glass and steel canyon that it can't transmit out of. Certainly, solving these problems in NYC must be simple, cheap, and easily done to make our viewing experience seamless and free. 1. Geostationary satellites don't give a crap about "glass and steel canyons". You either have line of sight or you don't. 2. If you can't afford to have reliable broadcasting capability in New York, then perhaps don't hold the fucking tournament in New York? EDIT: your edit: And the restrictions on how much bandwidth is available to the venue. And the restrictions on booths in the venue. And the extreme restrictions on any operation in NYC. So more fuel to the "why the hell are you holding it in NYC" fire. Everything regarding the bandwidth, if you're going to be broadcasting, you need a separate connection, with another ISP. | ||

So Now everyone notices the problem with mutapacks in SC2. edit: considering the results of terrans in general though mine nerf might still do the trick. | ||

Stop what? Trying to bring a little reality into the conversation regarding people attempting to ding IEM for problems they know nothing about and lack even the most basic of technical knowledge about? | ||

Curious took huge risks by being that aggressive, and got rewarded because of it. Had he been trapped once more (early enough, when he only had like 3 infestors and 1 ultra that is) he would've been in a terrible spot against 3-3 infantry.

Killing 3-4 mutas in such a scenario wouldn't have mattered when something actually much worse (for Zerg) happened after a massive oversight from Curious. Mutas can also suddenly change their direction and you have to keep up with 2, possibly 3 different groups while exposing your Mines or Medivacs to snipes, etc., or they can simply fly along the limits of the map while ignoring Marines, not losing much in the process. There isn't even much risk involved in such a harass because Zerg gets ~900 gas per minut and doesn't need to morph Banelings when Marines/Mines are busy chasing mutas for several minuts. | ||
