The fact that players can bank up 5000+ in resources is a clear sign that the economy-supply-engagement dynamic of the game is 'broken'. This doesn't happen in BW at all. A good RTS should have players trading resources back-and-forth without building up such a ridiculous bank.

(No, this is not a balance whine. Just a general observation about SC2.)

I mean, banking up 5000+ resources is just unfortunate consequence of the fact that you are now obliged to get at least 4 bases as any race these days.


He isn't wrong though... This has always been an issue with SC2 design. Supercharged macro mechanics, free thirds, and broken supply to cost ratios make maxes come far too quickly. Games in which players are maxed 2/3 of the time are boring.

The main issue is the maxed supply army being so easy to control for top pros, bigger army should be more taxing on execution imo.


Which pro has ever said that a lategame maxed army is easy to control?

Well so far Serral is not doing much better than Reynor against the fast drilling claws style.

Even with mutas, fast drilling claws seems to be worth the cost of losing mines and medivacs. Also keeps the mutas at home playing defense.

I wonder if this will become mainstream TvZ?

Yet serral is not behind. Much. A little on the income side(MULEs) but otherwise same upgrades, so until 3-3 happens he's fine. And Hive is on da way.

This is the kind of play we expect from the online god.

And that rush into the main looked chaotic, but how much damage did it really do?

Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

There's just something about ultras dying to marauders that is immensely satisfying to watch. Not any other unit, specifically marauders.
