They're fully fledged NA players now who don't have the benefits of Korean team houses. I just don't like it when the winner is obvious long before the tournament even starts, that's all. I understand they're as "non korean" as koreans get So your logic is What's the point of trying because I'm playing against a Korean?, that's the mentality that is crippling the NA scene.
I say we go one step further, let's just give the prize to whoever is the highest ranked in the lineup. No need to go through all the fuss of playing a bunch of games, we all know what's going to happen anyway. That way, we can just make the Polt vs Scarlett grand finals match and save a bunch of time.

Cool production. I like the between-game screen.

So, I'm confused. What was the time warp energy cost change supposed to do? There were still 2 time warps available just like before...

2 base blink is starting to feel like Blizzards revenge for 1-1-1.

I forces you to do nothing different because you'll always have full energy by the time you're blink allin hits. Blizzard know what they're doing, don't worry.

A game to my liking. Well Roached  Suppy. Legit play, great defense, and a proper elegant finishing move.

Either that or incompetence at seeing WHY the build is so damn potent and nerfing/buffing stuff that doesn't impact probably the most irritating build for the majority of Terrans (at least among interviews and speaking to my friends)

I'm confused, is this the LR thread? What is the other one?

I assumed it was given that it has many more replies in it.
Tuned in there, Illusion damn son that was pretty impressive TvP

I thought that this was more of a general tournament thread and that a separate thread was warranted, but I think I was wrong on that. Can just ignore it I suppose.

Ugh.
One bad engagement for Terran and it's over. In a complete steamroll.
That right there, that exact thing right there is why Mech is so unused vs Protoss. It doesn't matter how good you are with it, how well you play. It's so damn unforgiving. You make one error, you're dead. You don't get a second chance.

That was actually a pretty good match to watch, enjoyed it. On the other hand, what Vindicare said

I enjoyed that match a lot, but a lot of that was because I was sitting on the edge of my seat knowing just how easily it could all turn around if Illusion wasn't careful.
At least we saw that Mech can actually produce fun games vs Protoss if it's played, thus dispelling one of the arguments critics have for keeping it from being viable.

I don't actually like SC2 mech in general, I like Banshee's when they're mixed in to snipe targets because it adds a lot I feel in terms of the dynamism of it. Lucifron vs Stephano in WCS EU being a prime example.
Immortals are too good vs mech, simple as that really. Plus they benefit from chrono enabling you to pump them out.
Game 1 I liked Illusion including hellbats vs a Chargelot heavy comp, it's not always doable I guess but it's always looked potent to me

lol Catz wonderful transition...

If a good EMP hits the Immortals they get shredded. If immortals are worse than they are now Mech TvP would be really imbalanced once you get enough tanks.
