Innovation's TvZ is likely better than Maru's still and we saw how one sided Maru vs Impact was already last week

Blizzard did a GREAT job with the new maps. You can really see how Protoss is disadvantaged (which is what the current balance DEMANDED).

Of course this game demonstrated map 'imbalance'. At least compared to the 'normal' tournament map (which is what I said).

Life beautifully managed to exploit the distance between 3rd and the natural by constantly pressuring with Roaches. What's more, he used burrow INCREASE that advantage.

Additionally, you saw how useful the fourth gold was for life. Gold bases which cannot easily be taken as a natural, or a third are ALMOST useless for Protoss players. Barring some interesting gimmicks, they won't be important because most Protoss strategies revolve around 2-3. Zerg, on the other hand, regularly goes up to 4 bases ZVP. And the fourth base kicks in just about when Protoss is preparing to attack on 3.

Again, Blizzard did a great job with the maps. It's a lot harder for P on them now, then it was in the last set.

So what you're saying is, Stardust did not have a significantly large army to leave some at each base, nor did he have the production capability to make 2 observers. oh wait, he did! Wow. Too bad he didn't do those things and Life clawed his way back into the game with superior multitasking


Stardust may not have played the defence that well, but the map did give Life the slight edge he needed to claw his way back. On one of the older maps, Stardust's defence while not great may have sufficed.

I agree with -_- in that the new set of maps ease zerg aggression, and weaken protoss all-ins, especially the blink based ones, against terran, which was what Blizzard needed to do.

Well, that doesn't mean Acer didn't temporarily disable his ethics subroutines so that he can lie about it and play mind games with his zerg opponents.

he's a Bomber fan, you can trust his taste

Bomber hasn't been the same since his surgery.

Wintex same old same old though.

still better than anybody not named Bomber.

No I just don't think Jaeong's TvZ is that good and Inno crushed him in ATC. Jaedong's ZvZ on the other hand should be on par with Life's.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

How do you feel about your game Life?

Life speaks some Korean

Life says he is a God for winning and that he outplayed Stardust on every level from micro to macro to willpower.

I would hire you for my tournament for sure.



Id still rather have Terry the Intern.

has he been freed from the NASL jail when they shut it down?

Terry is working for ESGN.

So the answer is no.

As far as I know, Blizzard's plan was to make maps less blink favored, so basically to help terrans. As it turned out they actually did the most for zerg with the new map pool. That is one of the reasons I am against balancing SC2 with maps.
Protoss has too many unique mechanics that are really hard to balance just with maps.
