If I read one more SH-whine post... Seriously, this is a good, exciting game, maybe long but full of emotions and back-and-forth. But you people just keep whining and whining and it makes me so angry that I think I'll have to stop reading TL every time a SH pops out, because it made me so angry that my enjoyment went out the window. Thanks a lot, folks. Have a nice whining.

Please stop whining about sh-whining.

The problem isn't even about the balance of it; it's about the fact that if First had chosen to, he could have just turtled at the top of a ramp and done nothing and the game would have gone on for hours of the players doing nothing. And the player that chooses to make the game more interesting for viewers by participating is punished. It's the disproportionate favouring of defender's advantage that made ZvZ very uninteresting to watch. It's particularly disappointing from Snute who usually plays such exciting games.

rofl, protoss whining
Snute was ahead much of the game then First came with super lasers and gained a lead and now Snute got the lead back


Snute was miles ahead, then couldnt keep up with the constant attacks til the game was basically over, first was up like 3 bases and 5000/2500 vs no resources/no mining. Then snute sat on his one base and waited.

Maybe its a protoss perspective thing, idk, but this game pissed me off like nothing since hero vs leenock on antiga. Wouldnt mind someone explaining why im wrong though..


You are wrong thinking Snute "waited". Of course he defended his only base, he had no alternative. But still, it takes some skills to do that againt such a killer composition from First. Transfusing, getting the yank timings right not to waste them, also has to match the locust waves. Sure, from your POV, maybe it's just "waiting", but not every zerg can "wait" that well.

Snute really played well to win this but i really dislike the SH style. Snute hasn't even thought about attacking this whole game. Snute just defended until the other player mined out. This isn't really what I enjoy in watching SC.I would have hoped he would have used his early game advantage to over run first with roach/hydra or something,

Overall I dislike the mentality of a player just defending with free units untill the other player gets frustarated and makes a mistake becouse of it. I would hope players would try to outplay the other with a more aggresive style.

Yes. First lost this game because he only cared about making this game interesting for viewers!!!

I feel like there's a vast difference in multitasking in these two comps though. I mean BL/Infestor is just fungal spamming and then spreading out from vortex.


Replace fungal with yank units into static defense?

There's a lot of Viper babysitting going on. You can't just run Vipers in b/c Feedback has the same range as Abduct. Elsewhere repositioning SHs to defend is much harder than the WOL fungal defense. Don't get me wrong I still dislike the unit, but I don't think this comeback was as easy as some people are making it out to be.

Anyone who thinks that this game was "passive" and that both players didn't play their asses off doesn't have a clue about Starcraft or is biased and delusional. Both played great, except that First lost a ton of important units in the end when it mattered while Snute didn't.

It was a great game, the player that played better in this game won, you can balance whine all you want.

Snute played a good "mech" game. He didn't just turtle.

That said:
Snute beats Kas, Welmu, Yoda, Jjakji, MC, First.
HO-LEE SHEET. Insane!


Not trying to pick a fight but how would he harass anymore? Snute had no bases left to harass and every time first tried to attack into the turtle base he lost units for free.

Snute so underrated. He just wins quietly. Will eventually be the most successful foreign starcraft player IMO.

I guess I can see that, and obviously snute did the "right" thing. What Im wondering is what First can do to break that, unless snute messes up.

On a more positive note, I havent been this emotioanlly invested in a game of sc2 in a long time :D
