Crank should have never "come back" (if you can call being 80 supply behind a comeback) He had 5k/3k in the bank and wasn't producing much. I am assuming it was because of lack of injects since he was microing his army one by one | ||

It's better to be focsing nearly 90% of your attention on micro, 5% on injects and 5% on denying harrassment. As for just sitting there on bank, he could also do that Symbol thing where they just try to calculate what exactly they need to hard counter the composition. | ||

I'm not naive I know there are people doing it, it makes me disappointed all the same. Cheering and encouraging this kind of crap is how we got 6 months of Infestor/Broodlord in Wings of Liberty. The same will happen again if we continue to support results that are based around obviously flawed game design. I wasn't happy when Terrans were winning abusing the 1-1-1, I wasn't happy when Terrans were abusing mass Snipe in the late game even when it was MVP that was doing it. This to me is no different. How you win matters. | ||

Stop putting people in boxes. i think we can all bring it down a level. i've made some posts on how annoying this style is and how i think pig is riding the meta, but i'm not trying to trash him as a player or trash any other posters. i think a couple of people came in here and started kind of instigating/trolling a bit on both sides unnecessarily. this conversation has been had before, none of us are saying anything new, and it's not really worth getting upset about | ||
