Blizzard. Your move.


So that was basically a three-hour balance whine?

Design whine, not balance I would say. He can always just all-in all games as it was in WoL and I think he can get to close to balanced situation.


The game doesn't need to be balanced for mined-out late games.

I just said that it is not about balance, but about design. Why are you replying with balance ?


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.

No, there is difference between design and balance. SH are stupidly designed unit, period. If Mana won by some miracle, it would still be true. Plus you can have balanced matchup, yet valid design concerns. If Protoss can achieve 50% winrate by appropriate mixing in of all-ins, it is balanced matchup, but can still be stupidly designed matchup.


Balance whine doesn't mean complaining that there's not a 50% winrate. Balance whining means complaining that race X is overpowered.

Why are SH a stupidly designed unit? Obviously the comp Firecake was on was pretty much unbeatable, but why did Mana let him get to that point?

I just don't see most PvZ's ending up in SH stalemates.

It is badly designed, because it is boring to watch, encourages boring playstyle. Why are you so fixated on the balance still or what composition is unbeatable. Unbeatable compositions are ok, if they can end the game quickly. Even BL+infestor in WoL was better at it. The concept of spawning units that can cross half of the map is plainly bad as it only encourages defensive playstyle, especially when coupled with theoretically infinite moving defensive structures.

Well, could be true. But man, that game revived Sc2, it was that 'good'

Compared to that 1 game every GSL final was short. Except perhaps MMA vs DRG.

Also I think he should have done what Socke suggested, sat on top of his ramp with 200/200 army, forcfields and 10k gas bank. The game would be like 15hrs and SC2 would actually become real sport as weak players would die


If I hosted a tourney and players did that, I would disqualify both of them for making no attempt to end it.

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.


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

How are you going to use SH against forcefields on the ramp ? How are you going to lose enough units to do effective muta switch without risking loss ? How are you going to use your muta remax against archon/storm/guardian/tempest ?


Very slowly. Zerg has tools to break any defense (see : the viper)

And as I pointed out, yes, FireCake would have won, but it would not be 3 hours, more like 6+.


nah as a protoss you can block your main ramp and then just camp it out and whatever the Zerg tries they will lose more resources. Because the Protoss can actually use their static defense in that situation. So Vipers are snipeable and will only get 1 ht at best per dead viper.

Shortly put: this is dota 2 version of this game. And it was shorter.

Suddenly MaNa could have finished the game in unwinnable position for both sides?

I'm moderately surprised that game ended while I was gone. I left at 1:54 game time. But sucks that after all that, Bling 2-0d Mana.
