actually not so bad of swarmhost games. Was quiet entertaining. But I would have loved herO vs Life and Snute advancing in #2 not because I dislike Snute (quiet the opposite actually) but I would have loved herO vs Life

I don't understand how people can like this and call this "exciting aggressive swarm host play".

no one does? lol? snute has different SH styles. game 1 was mass hydra with a muta switch and a lot of aggression. against the other hero at DH/IEM a while back he used upgraded lings. no one calls mass spore crawling aggressive or exciting.

even the swarm host styles in g1/2 is awful though. don't act like g3 is somehow different enough that you can't generalize over these games

The first game was very exciting to a lot of us. You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean all SH games are bad for everyone


Guys I have Stockholm Syndrome



They were so boring I didn't even notice the difference.

No but really, apart from unexciting dynamics of the games (which is debatable maybe, but I don't know how someone can enjoy watching 100000 locusts that you can't even be microed all that much..), games involving SH mostly tend to just show one player slowly dying for an hour. Nothing feels exciting when dragged out for so long.

The first game and the second game (untill the final 10-15 mins) had loads of repositiong and aggressive swarmhost moves. It's really tactical. Locust still need to be controlled correctly to be usefull. Splitting them up, send them different paths etc. The last game was well, Snute said himself boring.

getting pretty pissed at redeye's constant shitting on swarmhost play. that series was very intense and had very few moments that could be labeled as dull by anybody trying to follow the thread of each players thoughts, y'know ... actually paying attention.

How is this intense if the biggest bullshit army from both races clashes? "Back and forth" didnt exist at 3rd map.

at what point are we going to stop trying to argue with people about whether theyre allowed to enjoy something?

eu/na don't need to be better

they just need to be separated from koreans and chinese for 99% of the year so fans believe there is a chance they'll win. then they don't. then there is a break, the hopes are lifted again, and then crushed.

it is a good system


There is something to be said of the spectacle of watching KTB not dropping a single map to anyone at IEM.

Wow. Three out of four winners finalists are foreigners.

Personally, I don't like these type of very long SH games. But Snute has won herO in straight macro games. Impressive.

people enjoyed wcs 2012 as well

By people you mean Europeans. The North American WCS was terrible.

Anyone else remember Insur? Seemed like he was getting good then bang he is gone

so happy for bunny huk and snute, hope they can qualify.
Bunny is quite solid and constant lately, probably gained some confidence after G3.
huk I always thought he had bad luck with groups or brackets, but never considered he was playing bad.. he kinda all year was beating koreans there and now..
Snute sadly doesnt really has a chance for blizzcon.. there is Kespa cup with 1500 pt for first place.. and a lot of 16+ ranked players are there which will earn precious points.

Jaedong is going to blizzcon because they cut the importance of the region wcs tournaments in half by removing the season finals. you can get plenty of points elsewhere whereas the top 5 from each region used to mean a lot more

The fact that JD is most likely making Blizzcon is pretty sad.

Probably going to incur the wrath of JD fans but at least HyuN can go travel to a lot of tournaments and remain a consistent Ro16-Ro8 player who even has the potential to attain finals (even if he does lose against foreigners in them) and will end up in BlizzCon. Jaedong just feels like a weak choice for the top level of SC2 play unless he really kicks it in high gear soon.

JD's blizzcon chances are now hurt alot actually he needs to escape the group of death in wcs na or get top 4 at dh moscow or stockholm cause the cut-off is very likely to be 3200!!!!
