This isnt 2011 bud we should be past these problems by now. Our tech has advanced since then and these probs should not be a big issue for such a big tournament
So what? We apperently are not past those problems, but if we could endure them 3 years ago, we're still able to endure them now. That being said, go MMA!
MMA spawns in the top right Classic spawns in the top left
2:00 CC first versus nexus first. 2 barracks for MMA. Two assimilators after a gateway for Classic.
3:00 Cybernetics core for Classic. MMA scouts the nexus first. Two refineries for MMA.
4:00 Mothership core for Classic. Classic sees a few marines and a barracks with a scouting probe. Both players making workers. MMA getting an engineering bay.
5:00 Stargate on the way for Classic. Classic scouting with a stalker. MMA scouting with an SCV. Stim and +1 attack for Classic
6:00 Turret for MMA. Robotics facility for Classic. Sentry for Classic. Classic getting an oracle. MMA getting a factory. Forge on the way for Classic.
7:00 MMA 52 vs Classic 55 Robotics bay for Classic. Oracle moves across the map. My stream suddenly fast forwards and the oracle goes across the map in 2 seconds. LOTV preview?
8:00 MMA 70 vs Classic 64 +1 armor and a phoenix for Classic Classic leaves the game randomly. God damn it
14:00 MMA 142 vs Classic 131 Sorry, was in a rather long 3v3. Game resumes. Both players on 3 bases. MMA finishing +2/2 and has bio/min. Classic has a small colossus army.
15:00 MMA 164 vs Classic 148 +1 vehicle weapons finishing for MMA as well as +2/2. +3/3 starting for MMA. MMA poking at Classic's third base from both sides with a bio army. +2 is half done for Classic. Blink on the way
16:00 MMA 196 vs Classic 181 MMA going for an attack on the third of Classic. Vikings kill only 2 colossi but most of Classic's army falls. Colossi are backing off but MMA drops on top of them. Classic GG's! MMA takes the first game!

of course it influences the players greatly
This tournament is a joke.
Glad we got all the cliche drama queen phrases in this thread. Calling something a "joke" is probably the most classic. I also like "I'm going to hearthstone and never looking back". Try unfurling your panties for a second.
