Worked my way through most of the matches, but I have to say: this is pretty awesome.

And Catz is WAY over dressed for this. And it's awesome.

Yeah, you've gotta work to get to 200/200. In learning to watch Starbow & SC:BW, not being able to just turtle off 2-3 bases to max really changes the game dynamics. And we're seeing the "fun" of watching all of the techs get used in different ways.

For Archon specifically, the micro. Lord, the micro. We finally get to see some of the awesome things that happen when you can use the combo-attack moves and micro both areas at the same time.

I think the biggest thing is the macro changes. No chrono or mules and nerfed injects. Now Zerg has more gas than larva, terran can't shoot up to 3000 mins income and protoss can't produce 20 phoenix in 10 seconds.

DRG/True vs Puck/Bails. Really, really awesome game. PvZ that's all over the map. Of the games on Day 1, I probably liked this one best.

The removal of the macro boosters shift any explosion in resources until much later. It shuts down most early all-ins (especially with the 12 worker start), and it removes the advantage to just turtle. A zerg killing 20 SCVs in a run-by has gotten to the point, in HOTS, of being only slightly a scratch if the Terran is on 3 bases already. Now getting your worker line slaughtered is brutal.

Though late-game in-base Scouting is going to be massive in LOTV. We already know what 10+ 3/3 Zealots can do to a base. Just wait until they warp in faster and do more damage. Going to be ugly! (But it'll also be a commitment rather than just a mineral burn.)

Massive props to Redbull for hosting an Archon tournament series. And I believe TotalBiscuit will be casting at DC? That'll be awesome.

Actually, I just realized: Archon Mode in Proleague would be SICK.

Oh, I really hope we get that next year.
