If ling drops got nerfed based on one series, can we get bunker rush nerfed off of this one? Apparently that's the precedent that's been set.

Dropperlords were nerfed because PvZ was at ~43.5% and opening anything other than Stargate into Oracle was an auto-loss against a not very committed ling attack.

And anything but opening pool first is an auto-loss against bunker rushes, which are basically 0 commitment because bunkers can still be salvaged and barracks can just be floated back to your main base.


Clearly we need to increase bunker build time.

This but actually not totally joking. Or eliminate salvage because it's always been a weird mechanic

Either of those would seem to make some Zerg all ins extremely hard to defend.

Which one, the 2 base Roach Ravager timing, or the... oh wait I guess that's about it for Zerg all-ins.

Yes but it would directly benefit me and my favorite players.

MaSa is 28-58 vs Neeb in map score historically and Aligulac gives Neeb a 78% chance of winning, but also according to Aligulac MaSa played his first match on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and this is NA Challenger so who knows what can happen.

Neeb's refusal to build 1 sentry might lose him this game.

edit:
He makes 2, so he probably wins.

From Masa's Liquipedia page:
MaSa began seriously competing in StarCraft II after being inspired by players like BoxeR and NaDa competing in the GSL.

I get what he meant by that now.

Oh my god this is proper NA. This is 100% unadulterated NA pro SC2, and I want to hate it. But... I almost can't.

I hope "did you know MaSa's real name is Maru" becomes the new "Ohana means family"

It would probably require him doing really well at Austin for it to get enough air time to stick.

I mean, did you watch the GSL finals? Maru (the real Maru) busted out the crazy cheeses first.
