Then game length got cut in half. People in NA have to stay up until like 3 AM to watch SC2. If I've made the decision to do that, I want to see enough SC to justify my decision. | ||

Let the game settle, pros figure out what is best and it will slow down. agree entirely. quit sc2 back in 2011 because it was too cheesy and all-in based - didn't like. Coming back now and loving the new units - seems much more macro based compared to then, with units and micro more similar to BW which I absolutely loved. It'll progress to be even more macro based. Games just volatile and not entirely balanced because it's brand new. It'll get better from here, and I'm expecting it to be pretty awesome once it's a bit more figured out. | ||

That's a good thing. Greed should be punishable and the meta should adapt to suit this with more defensive openers if they know the other guy is going for aggression. Going blind 3CC Hellions was always an awful thing for the game, it just shouldn't be possible to get 3 bases that quickly. Games in HoTS rarely got past 3 bases as you never needed to take more :/ I wish there was actually an option to punish greedy play from the zerg. | ||

On a more serious note, I juste checked and there were only 3 terrans in the SSL bracket. INno is already out, I'd be surprised (but happy) if Byun made it out, so that leaves... aLive, who plays against Classic. To be honest, if there are no terrans left in ro8, I'll completely loose all interest in this tournament. And I'll be especially mad if all terrans die to random cheese/bullshit that'll get copied on the ladder over and over... | ||

 I just want to see my favorite players dominate in sc2, but there is always some zerg to stop them(hitman, rogue and now ragnarok)What is this cheap counter strike clone from 2000 btw? | ||

I guess I hadn't really thought of that. Maybe a full double elimination tournament with bo5+ (depending on the round) would suffice as a balance between content and player mental health | ||
