It's pretty drastic and the ping talk is warranted when you read stuff like this. I’ve heard it elsewhere too. It’s not that people are complaining about cross server ping but apparently some of the servers are just outright laggier than they’ve historically been. 120-150 ping levels with a 30ms swing in terms of advantage to a player aren’t ideal compared to offline, but are playable at least. Heard talk that players are getting 200+ with spikes and that really makes the game just outright difficult to play. My Protoss boys aren’t having much joy so far, hopefully Trap can pull it out! Especially as Solar looks rather iffy defending Adepts of the gloved variety. | ||

Going by their GSL Match i'd favor trap here Solar looked pretty lost there, even in the game he won he didn't look what i'd call convicning. | ||

I can't shake the feeling that he's doing that because he'd have too high a winrate if he was just doing the build he does in game 5 of these every game. He’s trying to keep Aligulac inflation within reasonable parameters. When I saw Serral experimenting with more builds like this I thought it was sensible, one of if not the best macro players out there also having good cheeses and aggression to worry about I’m rather less sure now, whether he’s just getting bad luck, is using trash builds or he just doesn’t feel comfortable playing that way he just seems to throw games away doing it. We shall see how he goes with this experimentation. When Dark or Rogue do it it looks scary, even when they do fail with it. | ||

I would echo this. Man I’ve been watching so much SC lately I forgot that Trap and Solar faced off in the Ro16 recently. That said I do think Zerg get a bit of a boost when we’re pushing into bo5s and 7s. Gets harder to have more good counter builds with solid execution the longer things go on. | ||

Edit: But basically this is why i favor trap, even if Solar gets into a good position he seems kinda off currently vs these colossus compositions, also taking these kind of engagements doesn't help :D | ||

The Colossi basically one shot the lings and banes. If he was going to fight like that, probably a full Roach Ravager army would have been better. | ||

Obv ith the fights he took the army comp was bad, but the theme of the series was that solar fucked up the fights, so i'd argue that the army comp is fine but Solars engagements absolutely weren't. | ||
