Maybe Ill tune in for HSC again, but then I have seen enough SC2 for another year at least.

The quality of games is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than during thw WoL days wtf lol

If game doesn't get to 200 of ghosts vs 200 of broods or random 1 base 4gate, it's not good

EXCITEMENT

I still don't understand how Nestea thought that was a winning strategy.

It was before we realized mass queen/baneling beat every unit.

We did know Broodlords couldn't attack air though!

I just tuned into the results so far and knew that all the Liquid writers picks were going to be wrong. They just can't win.

It is the best, because scout before gateway is fucking terrible most of the time.

He had half the formula, the Infestors didn't get added to the mix until later.

TvP proxies are broken according to the internet lol.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Idk if I'd even say that. Early WoL, like 2010-first half 2011? Absolutely, but around mid-2011 is where I feel people started to get it together. The game was just a lot slower so it seems like the quality was way lower.

that wasnt Maru, that was a bot loading up a bugged version of proxy9000.exe every game

Of course the players are better, but I dont see how the games are more entertaining.

Way faster into the action, a lot more small skirmishes, this type of PvT style we had in game one is NOTHING like any PvT we had in WoL which was either all-in/timing attacks or super defensive massing of Collosi.

There is also much more multipronged stuff going on, I am being serious even with the hyper aggressive Protoss styles we had in 2010 and 2011 there was nothing that actually had as much harassment and constant attacks on multiple fronts as we do today.

I am sorry but WoL games, PvT as well were just garbage compared to what we have now
My heroes: Jangbi, Bisu, Stork and BeSt for BW, Rain, Zest and Stats for SC2! Need a better Signature tbh...
