The supply efficiency of the banelings is so high. With a higher supply demand there would perhaps not be so many that battles are instantly over, but requiring more micro.


Yes, my point exactly. The fact that 50% worker is optimal doesn't show so much that the war game is driven by actual economics, but how broken certain units are.


Yes and the snowballing economic advantage leads to this slow death rattle as banes role in and erase expansions in the blink of a moment. It is really difficult to find enjoyment from this slow inevitability as a viewer. I think changes favouring early action, like the hellbat pushes would make for a better viewer experience.


I'm a casual viewer. So I can't comment on actual balance too much.

Of late, TvZ has been frustrating to watch. I'm actually pro-T in BW, but originally pro-Z in SC2 (I didn't like how efficient MMM were). But in past 1-2 years, seems like the pendulum has shifted. Everything T throws at Z can get countered with the same strat (Queens hold the fort, delay long enough for banes and mutas to pop). Even if a base dies, they can easily drone up and stabilise. It's just gotten really stale to watch.


I am a zerg player too, but dia, nowhere close to a pro. My criticism of the game comes solely from a viewer's perspective and I what I believe hurts it the most is the thing you point out regarding the queen. Unless I'm watching live I skip all TvZs to the 5 min mark because watching queens defend hellions/reapers/BCs/banshees etc while the drone count reaches 70 is stale. This has gone on for 3 years and the game needs change lest it die completely.

I hope Trap can play at 2am. Dunno what sleep schedules pros use.

I think it's alright. I seem to remember his stream being live at times like this.

Even though Trap has streamed that time it doesnt mean his focus is 100% at 2 am. In a game like this, and on the level these two players are, Trap is at an disadvantage. So, because of that and the fact that Reynor is Zerg (and insanely good as well ofc! ), I actually fear the finals will be a stomp. Maybe not short games, but a very clear Reynor victory is coming of for sure.

whenever trap does that with the oracle I remember ToDD hyping up traps oracle saying he is piloting himself the oracle from the booth back in 2014.

Oh bullshit, don't give us that.

People are critical because they care. Do you know when a scene actually dies? When no one cares enough to point out when a performance is sub par.

Apathy is the killer. Criticism is the result of passion. Learn the difference.


You can be critical and then you can be a straight up ass. Many fans conflate the two. It's weirdly aggressive the way people attack these casters. Look in Twitch chat when people saw ZG and Maynarde were shown as the casters for the grand finals. Literally 100s of THANK GOD ITS NOT FEARDRAGON AND WARDI. That's just freaking stupid. I think Pig and Rotti makes more sense for this match up, but you won't see me being disrespectful about it.

And for the record I didn't think Lexender's comment was meant to cause a shit storm. I was surprised Wardi reacted in that way.


There's an obvious difference when someone is being a hater and when someone is offering honest criticism. Putting a blanket label on ALL criticism doesn't help anybody it just shelters people that can't handle criticism.

I don't know about Wardii, but I know Feardragon can tell the difference, he'll take that shit on the chin. If you're going to be a public personality then learning how to deal with Twitch chat is something you're just going to have to do. If you can't handle Twitch chat, then honestly what are you doing being a streamer in the first place?


I don't necessarily disagree, but I also don't walk in their shoes so I think it's important to be understanding. It must be tiring to read a bunch of BS about yourself every single day and not be able to get away from it due to the nature of your job.

The increased worker start in LOTV definitely is a contributing factor. I can't believe I'm missing proxy rax cheeses (used to hate them). Recently, in ASTL finals, Flash managed to execute a perfect bunker rush against Action's fast expo (which is standard). The game ended in 5 minutes, but the suspense was worth every second. It's a game that has so much rewatch value.

Sorry, don't mean to start a BW-SC2 debate. Just a recent analogy that came to mind (partly since there isn't many quick games in SC2 nowadays that I can think of).

I did once. Not at this level so not at this level of scrutiny, but that's where my logic comes from. I know what it's like to deal with twitch chat criticism.

It's not as bad as some think, and it's worse than others think. It all depends on how thick your skin is.
