There is no affordable army comp that can keep up with the protoss tech. There is no way to get enough production up to consistently trade armies. It's less the tech than doing the damage to the massively tanky army the Protoss can toss out. That's really why Huk/MC won there. And, yeah, there will definitely be a lot of changes to come. Still, some Widow Mines would have helped a lot. | ||

SCV pull was good in the sense Zealots are so ridiculous right now with charge, that the toss is just making a lot of them, and the SCVs were able to tank the hits. | ||

Rather than 400/400/300 for Nexus/CC/Hatchery, maybe it should be 350/350/250? Warp Prism needs to come out 30s later. But there's still months of balancing that they'll be doing, so what is, is, right now. | ||

Two teams with three lives remaining means bad news for anyone with 2 lives... seems like those 2 teams have an alliance is my guest (crank looked shocked when huk seemed to pick them earlier in the day but gave them a cake instead). although still doesn't seem smart, have to be top 2, somebody has to start beating those 2 teams. But if you eliminate puck and bails you have a better chance of getting some more of dat Red Bull Esports money you only get cash if you beat a team. they had a better chance of winning more money if they had played puck the next day instead of getting drg to beat puck. i don't think crank is thinking his strats through. to me, it looks like he's aiming for #3 which gets him nothing. | ||

That warp-in time differential should really only be all that's needed to change it from something probably "too strong" in a lot of cases to a strong play that requires a response but is unlikely to kill you unless you fail to defend decently. | ||

So today should be pretty easy I think. Without a shield left everyone targets the Axiom Protosses first then the Foreign Terrans get swallowed. Team Bitch Please and OneTRUEDong qualify | ||
