Lingbane is only frustrating if you suck at it :D

Yea what is frustrating about LotV ZvZ is that you can't scout your opponent before making very very important desicions about how you play

Much different from bw/wol/hots zvz yes.
Then again you can kill pool first with 13/12 and hold 13/12 with hatch first so it's weird a bit.

I think HotS was a bit better, WoL I didn't really watch a lot of ZvZ because I was still avoiding it, since it was my most hated MU to watch BY FAAR in BW

Only prefered hots cause I liked to 8 pool a lot.
Current zvz is more stable since 13/12 is weaker than an 8 pool vs hatch first.

The Disruptor is the only thing making PvP watchable.


Yeah the entire game, 20+ minutes should come down to a single skill shot every time. That is good game design.


It didn't come down to a single shot. There were fifty shots, and they all had a notable impact on the outcome of the game.

yeah but that doesn't make it entertaining to watch or fun to play


I have no opinion on how fun it is or isn't to play, but at least I can watch LotV PvP and say "the guy who won the series actually used quantifiable skills to win the series." Pretty important for a competition imo.

And in case it wasn't clear I found it very entertaining.

Really? There are quantifiable skills (hmmm maybe not easy for a casual to se but someone like you should be able to see) to HotS PvP

I only saw two deathballs amoving at each other and then someone randomly wins

Idk that was probably one of the most fun PvP matches I've seen in years. HotS PvP was so boring imo...

To me PvP only got better, WoL was the worst, ZvZ had to wait for LotV.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

I'd say it's a massive improvement over the usual Tempests vs Tempests we saw in HOTS. There were only a handful of PvP games that I thought were entertaining, and they've mostly been documented on TL in the best games to watch categories.

I'm going to bed so here's the witty remark I would have made for either outcome of the finals
If ByuN wins: Not enough 0's in the prize pool for $O$ to care
If sOs wins: Well, time to disappear for 3 years again ByuN

I am sooo happy sOs won, but I damned hate these disruptor wars :-(
So much random included in it. All the game was sOs leading, but it was all the time so tense, each shot could have completely changed the result. I am happy, the final is not PvP ...

I know but those deathball battles were just a mystery to me.
I had no idea why someone lost or won the fight.

I thought HotS PvP was smarter and had players predict/play probabilities more. The disruptor micro outweighs all other decisions in the game, but it's easy to quantify for spectators I guess. I'm not invested in it one way or the other.

I only want WoL TvT back. FUCK

None of his big wins are older than the time he tried to pull Tempests against Innovation while down 0-3 in some WCS Finals way back when

Also, I want to see sOs get some revenge for the SSL qualifiers. Like, really?
