'I thought I just needed a little more time to complete my composition, I'm sorry to hear of my opponent's passing," HasuObs told reporters in a press conference following the match. Thorzain commented, "I think Hasuobs attacked a little too early and should have built on top of his lead." http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=411243 | ||

Otherwise the race with imbalanced late game units will aim to get to the late game.

The day before my match against MaNa, I was convinced I would be eliminated quickly. As my studies were starting soon, I wouldn't have been able to train for the rest of the tournament so I played my matches just in case a miracle happens. Moreover, I knew that MaNa had a barcode and not me, I was expecting to face very strong build orders to counter mines (like our last match in group stage). So I decided to play completely different playstyles than what I usually play to surprise my opponent (and also to avoid 3 or 4 hour games if I went for SH/Viper). | ||

Frankly at that point I think protoss by doing that is doing his best to achieve best possible result - draw. There is no reasonable argument for punishing that. I doubt there is any way that protoss can actually win if game is at that stage. Like in chess, if you can't win, play for draw. | ||

The game would be like 15hrs and SC2 would actually become real sport as weak players would die Wouldn't mind if he had did that. All he can reach is a draw in this situation, so its up to the Zerg to finish it or take the draw. I just wish Locusts would lose hp instead of just a timer. So their long range would be weaker. Well true wish would be that Locusts don't work alone, like they intended it in the first place, with hydras behind them and retreating after the Locusts are gone. | ||

Except firezerg was able to win by siege hoping his swarm hosts and doing a muta remax. He made no attempt to that game. In his position, I would have won a few hours ago. There has almost never been a point in SC2 where neither player can win due to infinite defense on both sides. firezerg had the perfect defense that game, mana did not, he was quite weak to be honest | ||

Because saying "design" instead of "balance" is like saying "Intelligent Design" instead of "creationism". Your point is not that the game is badly designed, your point is that Mana couldn't win against late game Swarm Hosts. That is a balance complaint. In this ideally designed game, all armies would be equally matched in the super late game. 99% of games don't get to that point, so it's pointless to design to that. The "point" Mana was attempting to make was an exercise in idiocy, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
