It's one of the reasons I've been advocating for a nerf to medivac boost lately. I would like options, but if you don't have unbelievable map awareness (and sometimes even of you do) the roaches are pretty lousy and you lose so much | ||

Against muta/ling there's a window where I could have an advantage if I wasn't trash and try to win before Ultralisks come out, but against Roach/Hydra I can just chill... comparatively anyway. Still trash so who cares. | ||

Obviously, their games weren't INnoVation vs Dark level, but they were definitely worthy of Code S. It's only the Ro32. Only Myungsik wasn't code S level worthy... Classic is like top 16/8, aLive 24/16, Scarlett 32/24. | ||

I predicted Classic and aLive from the start. Classic is classic. He may not be the top form like in the past but he is still solid nonetheless. aLive is Terran so he has the edge already. It is great to see him doing well. Last year was tough for him. His father passed away and everything. Myungsik was a great player. I love his cheesy style but clearly he didn't focus on SC2 enough. Lackluster performance. His spot should be someone else who is more passionate about SC2 like Patience. | ||

I stand by my original statement. If you call aLive and Scarlett Code B scrubs, what do you call Bunny, KeeN, Leenock, Ryung, and Trap? They qualified despite being not quite top-tier, but if they all belong in Code B, Afreeca might as well start Code S with the quarterfinals. The best players are rare for a reason; if they were more common then they wouldn't be the best anymore. That's literally the definition of the word. | ||

Nobody has ever proven that this is true. Imo it's just "PR" talk just like saying player X is the best we have ever seen every time someone looks really good. | ||

It's hard to empirically measure difficulty, but it surely feels that way to me personally, both in game and watching. | ||

Personally i don't think there is a difference tbh, you could argue that the need to expand faster makes it a bit "harder" because you are spread out more, but at the end of the day usually that means that other expansions aren't really "important" anymore. As i said, i think it's mostly PR talk. Would be interesting to explore that topic more though | ||

I don't think the game is much harder, yeah the bases mine out a little faster but that usually doesn't change anything in games that end before the 10 minute mark. TvZ is still bio/mine vs ling bane muta like in HotS, in some other matchups things have changed more but I don't see a reason to believe that it's much harder than before. | ||
