Didn't see the games.

Only if JD takes his jacket off.

JD actually has a pretty good track record against Hero, which is weird since Hero, at least on paper seems like a player who would give JD fits.

I don't know, JD has looked thoroughly unimpressive so far in HotS, but if he can beat Patience, he should be able to beat Hero.

Have you been watching a different JD the last 6 months or so than the rest of us...?

He's looked unimpressive for majority of games in 2014 at least, and early 2013 he looked fucking horrid vs protoss, and every zerg was losing vT for a while. So he's kind of right

Again...have you people been watching a completely different JD than the rest of us? His vP has improved *drastically* so I'm not sure why you're even bringing that up.
I will agree that his previous tournament he looked completely off, but the entire second half of 2013 was pretty much complete ownage from him, and he's back on form this tournament. I don't really understand how you can argue.

What part of early 2013 = second half of 2013

edit: I have no fucking clue what I'm doing with this apparently

Not much of balance discussion was raised before the Inno vs HerO series (mind you that was the first awful series of the day).


That's funny, by the way. When the games play out well and are interesting, it's purely the player's merit and nobody mentions how the game is well suited for bringing us epic fun. While when games are bad, it's mainly (though not only, to be fair) balance whine.

So can somebody explain rationally why innovation lost so hard? Im too biased and fed up right now for a proper analysis.

He didn't scout correctly and lost to an all-in different than he was expecting in the first two games. In the third game he got the worse end of a base trade.

It can be difficult to find anything cool to talk about if you fundamentally dislike what you see in a large quantity of the games.

First game innovation read the situation wrong.

Second game he should have scanned or something.

So we can say he should have scouted better. But it wasn't like he played completely blind. Why should that amount of missed scouting for Terran always result in GG.

What openings does terran have, if gone unscouted , would result in insta losses for protoss? Can't think of any off the top of my head

I remember JD wiping out every single protoss and dropping only a single map during his run at wcs global finals s2 2013. He was facing all kinds of protoss. From the overhyped "solid" protoss like rain. Even to the hyped First. It was shocking to watch every single toss being outplayed. Then proceeded to lose against bomber.

I don't even blame Hero. When the maps are inexplicably absolutely irrefutably fucking garbage, why not abuse them? Terrans did it for years in BW. Sure the MSC is finally being recognized as being more OP than the defiler, but the maps are still a large part of controlling balance, especially in between the oh so frequent patches.

Let's not be too hasty here...wait, what am I saying?! This is TL! Carry on.

Fair enough. Defilers allowed GGPlay to win a final. Clearly worse than the MSC.

Can't pick a favorite, they're both playing fantastically and I love both of these players so much. Might have to root for Rain since he's my first favorite pro, but I do want to see that Polt vs JD finals.

Actually there wasn't balance discussion much and this thread was pretty neat. Until hero decided to cheese innovation 2 times hell broke lose.


Yeh I wasn't specifically targetting this thread it just seems to happen a lot.

I mean I am trying to avoid reddit and I never go on twitch chat because of the balance whine and TL is usually a bit more reasonable.

It just surprises me that people still enjoy discussing balance rather than epic shit

Well, that last series was anything but epic lol

For the rest of the day I've been too busy jizzing over all the amazing games haha

It's a pretty important aspect to broadcasting no matter where you are/ who your audience is. You're most likely more affected by it then you think.
