I didn't watch semis, but at least my 3-2 hero vs polt prediction was right.

I want them to set up a rule beforehand and they can only use blink stalkers.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The venue is already packed, today will be great.

15 minutes until the CSGO show starts. NiP vs. Virtus.Pro. The crowd and games should be amazing

Blink stalkers, the 100,000$ build



laughing so hard at this :D

But well I think Blink stalkers should be balanced through maps. I think it would be terrible for example to increase the cooldown. I think we just need more bigger maps like alterzim. When I look at broodwar maps they all ended up being very large and I think they were for a reason (although I don't know the reason, because I have not followed the balancing development of BW).

But the bigger the maps, the stronger warpgate gets, P can still warpin into to the battle and don't fear counter attacks or aggression because of the distance. It's already hard enough to pressure the third of a protoss.

But this would weaken timing attacks. Yes the warpgate mechanic can really shine on big maps but I still think it is easier to deal with P if you got open areans to split your army against storms etc. until you get a favorable engagement. And in addition to that you can scout for proxy pylons etc. And the chances are higher to get something done with drop play.

I agree with changing maps, like less ramps/chokes and main bases you can't easily blink in, but I don't want only huge maps like alterzim. Takes forever for hydras to walk over that freaking map.

I like that idea, but GSL finals are also by themselves on one day so it is shown that it does work to have a bo7 by itself.

i think a BO7 is better than a BO9 since it's not too common to get someone so evenly matched that you'd need a BO9 to adequately decide who is better than a BO7, noone really wants to see a 5-0 stomp (although that's not much better than a 4-0 stomp lol). i do remember socke or someone going 4-0 down into 4-5 though haha
