How have we had deathstar orbitals and medivacs that can’t ‘vac in relatively recent times?

I don’t recall many examples of core mechanics being utterly broken throughout SC2’s history, hopefully this doesn’t become commonplace.

Is it due to the mapmaker getting such an overhaul lately and having some unforeseen effects?

The NA cup also got its share of upsets to follow the EU cup. PiLiPiLi over Nina?! Chinese Silky over Astrea??!

pilipili won the whole thing actually, beating nina like you said, and then 3-0 vs players like namshar and silky, pretty wild

I follow the scene pretty closely I like to think and pilipili is a pretty new one on me, that’s a solid run!

Anything interesting about them? I’m open to taking the red pili.

Pilipili has been around for a long time, maybe since the beginning?

There was a period early on where he had good results due to his mastery of cheese.

He was quite good back in 2017--he made it through the IEM Katowice qualifiers ( (Wiki)

IEM Season XI - World Championship/Offline Qualifier) and had some other notable results.

What the fuck is this ESL Asia cup? Not a single Zerg participant? Almost only Protoss players. :D

I hope ByuN gets to the final, just so he at least has some EPT points for the Kubo Qualifiers, as long as GSL isn t finished he still has 0 Points for Seeding purposes, wich just screws with the breakets. (example: this Cup today)

Serral vs Goblin game 1 could not be stupider

Feels like I've seen this same PvZ on this same map with some other protoss against serral as well. DNS maybe?

It's the same stage of the game but I don't think that one started with Dns completely destroying Serral in the early game and having 8 bases vs 5 for 15 minutes without having any chance of winning

Can't you bind feedback to your scroll wheel and rapid target clouds of units? Goblin was kicking ass in the abduct vs feedback war until the corruptor cloud. It seemed like he couldn;t target them down or even see them coming.

vipers are units that get instant value even if your army is crap, they should not be able to refuel energy from buildings that absurd.
how is it even possible for a zerg to survive a games just by not attacking at all?
