I really had a blast doing this for you guys but when i read the thread it's disgusting. Balance whine about the 3race, design bashing, game bashing. THrow some david kim here and there...

Really people... Tomorrow i will be at worK. i'll watch the finals from VODS. If i LR again and see so much whinning after it... Well that will be my last time doing LR...


Well done sir , you are fucking awesome.


Yeah. People take a lot for granted. I enjoy watching SC2. I loved having FFW_Rude LR it and would not have had such a great morning without it. But no one likes to pick a flower when it's buried in thorns.

Yeah, Khan were definately the "moral winners", like how Squirtle was the moral winner of IPL4

How dare you. There were no winners at IPL4 but aLive.

no they arent dumb. they just hate the badly designed game. no matter who wins there is also stupidity to flame on


They hate the game and have a active account on a forum dedicated to it, kept watching 3 hours the Soulkey vs Reality and now they'll login to play some ladder games.

But they hate the game, of course.

You can prepare players for specific matchups on specific maps like reality vs SK and roro vs rain

I know right? Why is no one whining about the stupid turtle mech style that made us watch 3 hours of SH for one match? It's actually Reality's fault we were forced to endure that.


He didn't force SK to make SH...

Swarm hosts are generally superior against mech when compared to other compositions. I mean the other option is roach/hydra/viper and then what do you do when all the air comes out?


And turtle mech is generally superior vs someone with the muta ling bling control of Soulkey. You can't really go 4M vs Soulkey after the nerfs. And aggressive mech gets punished by vipers.

So I don't think it is fair to pin this on Reality.

Agreed, they both picked the strategies they thought gave them the best chance to win. That's pretty much that.

They're surely loving the game of course. It's just that they never stop bitching, even when there's REALLY NO REASONS TO. But they love the game.

See the logical fallacy there ?

I suppose I'll agree that from Reality's point of view, turtle mech was the best option to win. Just like from SK's point of view, SH turtle was his best chance to win. So my statement of blaming Reality is obviously wrong, though I still feel you saying he didn't force SK to make SH's is also false. He did, SK had no other choice due to how strong Sky Terran is when combined with a mech ground force.

But in any case, it's clear that there have to be a few tweaks and changes. Blizzard has already said that they won't make any large design changes outside of another expansion, so small number tweaks are the best we can hope for.

True and they propably will do just that. Individual snipers will become more problematic unless you can find similar weaknesses on multiple players on different teams. I'm not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing. Just seems a bit weird considering the nature of the matches on round robin and how the team's strengths might not carry to the playoffs.

But when the snipe connects, its deadly. (Oh Shine, destroyer of worlds :D)

Yet there was one, atleast in my opinion Although, as aLive was the actual winner you still have the edge in this, so let me have this

TL is more circlejerky and whiny than reddit nowadays. And that says a lot
(not that I didn't whine and I do think some design changes would make the game better, but I at least keep it elsewhere -.-)

I was just thinking. Did Artosis curse that Reality vs Soulkey match?


It end up being pretty long :D

He loves defensive playstyles, so I guess thats right up his alley. And that aligns pretty well with the curse imo

I hope Artosis is being sarcastic. Ok maybe he isn't, its fun to see a game like that once in a while, but it still doesn't stop me from thinking that game represents everything that's wrong in SC2.

Blaming any of the players is stupid. Their job is to win, using whatever tools happen to be available. That's it. Any blame for how the game is played lies with the people who made it.
