Little bit sad to see this amount of balance whine in TL :/

Flash tends to play constantly greedy as a standard play which is big weakness in his play and easily exploited by wise player like MC. MC made sure in 2nd game to see how Flash reacts to proxy Stargate play and adjusts last game accordingly to that making sure that Flash skips scanning Protoss base in this situation and having no idea what MC is doing behind proxy SG expecting standard play behind it and even moving out with his army for which MC's build is perfect counter to. If Flash had send his scouting scv straight to MC's natural to see his a bit late nexus timing he would've known its tech before Nexus but even in that situation I think Flash wouldn't have changed his build too much. Flash's play in SC2 has never been really good in tournaments where you dont have long time to prepare for specific match so I'm actually pretty suprised how people expect Flash to do very well in this IEM

Don't be misleaded by the vocal minority. Cool to see you post btw!

Haha I guess i'm just still used to BW days when I didn't really see balance whine at all and more player praise instead, or maybe I just have selective memory ^^


Balance whine is definitely more vocal now than say, five years ago. Cool to see you clear some misconceptions up though!

It's nice to do from time to time

If only Scarlett planted a nydus worm into Flash's base... I think she forget she can do that.

he plays very bad vs SH style :o

His battering against the swarmhosts with mass medivacs worked a lot better than that doom drop he tried in the main.

Its because Blizzard patches things. People get the impression that balance whining can affect patches, which wasn't a feeling you could get in BW.

That's a good point actually


It's not only that, though. BW is pretty much generally agreed to be "balanced" while SC2 is still so new compared to BW(keep in mind if we look back we're at 2003~2004 right now) that people consider it far from being balanced eventhough they don't realise that BW's balance came from maps and players' adjustments, not Blizzard.

Although one could argue that SC2's design is more flawed than BW but that is nothing for a LR thread.


I don't think that whining necessarily correlates with how balanced the game is.


Nono, my point is the other way around. People consider BW balanced due to it's age and all that, and see SC2 as a new game and justify their balance complains through that.

Whining doesn't correlate with anything. Last week I had a hunter tell me hunter is imba and for scrubs in HS.

"Ever" is a pretty big word. For players who practice 40 games a day, they will probably have seen the weirdest stuff.

The last balance patch for Brood War was released in 2001
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.
