Just in this case it´s two europeans. Not saying they are above the top koreans, but this is really amazing top level Starcraft2! Was just thinking 'bout epic times when I was waking super early to catch KR pro games hoping for plays out of this world and being on edge of the seat because they fcking delivered exactly what I was hoping for. SC is such a beautiful game when you clash top of toptier players. | ||

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I really enjoyed the meta-game back around late 2011 / early 2012, when pros still had to watch out for an occasional one-base or two-base push that could do some devastating damage. | ||

The maps are more important and this pool is so so much better than last mappool, pretty much every pro has been saying this from the start. Yes marauders can tank one more bane, yes queens have 1 less AA range. But when you give them better maps, those nerfs dont do much do they | ||

The map pool is already much different from 2010, favoring macro games with longer rush distances. I get this impression too, one unit defending all early pressure (except adepts) doesn't feel like good design. They seem to be too good at defending creep tumours so the game snowballs to that total map control phase before even taking off. | ||

Great gameplay. | ||

I’d rather watch serral reynor than Clem vs Z Serral VS reynor is the highest level of Starcraft you can get in a foreign circuit. It’s like watching two top Koreans duke it out. | ||
