I guess it's a good thing that I didn't get to see the last game between sOs and Taeja.

PvP finals yet again... at least I like both players. I rate herO higher than sOs in terms of skill tbh, but the latter one is so damn sneaky and smart. It could go either way

Lol, with the way he won Bogus at IEM Cologne, he should really not talk about this.


Why not? He goes on to say that protoss does it to win. He wants to win too. Why the hell would he not use blink?

He can use Blink 24/7 if he fancies. I just don't want to read a hypocritical tweet about that afterwards.

He's been talking about retiring in the near future for quite a while now right? I remember hearing/reading that somewhere before. Sucks but I guess it's not exactly the biggest shock in the world

No!

I want Half Life 3 sometime this decade

Well it's not like Valve will put it out any faster.

Hopefully he's just depressed about the loss and is just venting, but idk.

He seems less enthusiastic about the game these days, and then there's the thing with his wrists

Maybe Liquid could pick up another Korean terran in his place. Maybe one who used to be on both TSL and Fnatic.

Moving Time Warp to the Twilight Council makes no sense with regards the internal logic of the game's design. The twilight council is concerned with upgrading gateway tech tree/units. I get that it would nerf blink all ins, but it seems like an awkward design decision. Cybernetics core would make more sense from a design perspective.


Yeah, I've posted about this on Bnet before and on the previous balance map Bnet thread. I may try again when the next patch comes out and hopefully it gets some attention. If anything, I think the MSC has too much utility with three spells right off the bat. Moving TW to Cybercore and making it a cheap and short upgrade would also add an element of tech choice to P.

Just post it on Reddit after a game like this, you will receive enough upvotes (because even hardcore protoss fans like me think it is a good idea) and that's when they notice what 'community would like to do'. Just like the MCore range change...


Thanks. I will do that.

Honest question, was the Starcraft 2 fanbase so hostile at the peaks of Terran and Zerg dominations? I wasn't watching back then, but people seem so angry and disgusted nowadays, just wondering if it was like this in the past.

It was never this bad. There was anger during the days of GOMTvT and BL/infestor, but there is a level of disgust now that is unparalleled in the history of the SC2 community.


Yes, it was definitely this bad with Zerg. Not so much Terran, because Terran's dominance was due to the really high skill ceiling (so we saw some awesome plays, and TvT is undoubtedly the best mirror), but people were fucking PISSED in the days of Z dominance.


There was no high skill ceiling when people were complaining about 1/1/1, scv all-ins, 2-rax, pre-nerf emp, and BF hellions.

No but abusive terran strategies got nerfed to oblivion usually within a very acceptable timeframe. Nowadays it takes months for the balance team to admit that there is a problem and even if they do, they are afraid of actually taking drastic action.

I don't know for how long you've been following SC2, but below are a few of the things Terran had to contend with within the first few months of WoL:
-Siege tank damage going from 60 to 50, to 35+15 to armored.
-Reapers gone from overpowered unit to least useful unit in the game
-Bunker build time increased a couple of times
-Reactor build time practically doubled, cost increased
-Stim research time increased by a lot
-Concussive missiles had to be researched
-Increased barrack build time

It doesn't matter how good SoS is or how good he can blink his stalkers. It doesn't make exciting games. Blink stalkers almost every PvT is insulting especially in a100k tournaments.

2 boring protoss will battle it out with boring unit compositions in the finals. Yay. I don't care who has the most colossi left at the end of an engagement so I won't watch.


Meh, even as a Terran PvP is actually really good to watch these days. That's the main reason I don't think MSC should be nerfed, because it stabilizes PvP so much.

I like the one guy's idea about moving Time Warp to Twilight Council research, it'd weaken blink all ins considerably without making MSC useless. Maybe even make it like warp gates where it's really cheap but just takes a while to research so that it's just delayed and not prohibitive to get.

Well Time Warp is pretty critical to PvP, though. And if you make someone choose between Time Warp or Blink research, then you could make Stargate openings even way stronger than they already are.

How can you even write something like this...


Seriously what the hell, do Protoss players even think before they type?

Yeah, I think his wrist issues are not going away anytime soon. I hear he has good Protoss. He should just switch. :D
