I've been thrilled to see SC2's design develop from how frankly terrible it was in WoL. If Blizz is going to go forward with only minor tweaks from here, I'm cool with that. Compared to where this game has been in the past, the current design is satisfactory.
I know, that doesn't stop me from being vocal about the fact there are bad design choices in this game. That's like saying - hey, politicians lie and steal, we can't change that so let's ignore it. Especially if people wanna go the way "sc2 is in a superb state and never was better"  (or in this case - BCs are bad design)

"In my heart I hope Armani makes the finals" lmao

Well play TY, I am bit sorry for Stats, he deserved at least a final final...

Season 1 or 2 had a video segment for the group selection where all the players were asked who's the most frustrating to play against and the majority picked TY. So if you feel frustrated watching imagine how frustrating it is to actually play that.

Now let's have that Afreeca Freecs teamkill grand finals

Maru's G5L getting shut down by Armani would be quite funny, ngl

Can we have a protoss-only invite tournament so we can get a championship, please? You can even invite all the big names so we can pretend it means something for a while. We just want one!

G5L is a cursed trophy anyway. But Armani shouldn't win over Maru even with Maru being overconfident. (e.g. Meomaika) It's a BO7 not BO3

Neeb won DH SC2 Masters NA in a PvP finals, it's listed as a premiere tournament. I believe that victory fullfilled the quota

It really feels like TY studies scouting patterns and goes, "Oh, they only scout this far? I'll just make my barracks like 2 feet over." And it makes my blood boil every time it works lol

You know what we did back in WoL when we had such large complaints about design? We as a community created and supported SC2 overhauls like Starbow.
If you're still convinced that certain ideas are bad design, make a mod with your changes in it and campaign to get people to support it.
This doom and gloom that people have about the future of Starcraft to me is silly because the Arcade and Map Editor exists and the possibilities for new things there are literally limitless, the community has just gotten so used to Blizzard doing everything that they just forgot that it exists.
If there's a silver lining to the big Blizz announcement earlier this week it's that maybe now people will start giving the Arcade the focus it needs to start becoming as good as the SC:BW and Warcraft 3 customs were.

And Starbow died incredibly quickly and never had a large playerbase. This isn't the early 2000's anymore. People aren't going to leave an official ladder for a fan-made project made in a map editor. They'll either stick with what they have or go to another game since high quality competitive games with active dev support are pretty common now. Gaming has evolved.

Why the extremes though? I haven't spread any doom & gloom. There are bad design choices in SC2 and it's not just one or two units. Why not to talk about it? I'm not gonna build a mod with changes as you probably missed I am just saying there are issues, not that I have fixes for the issues. Also I am not being payed to fix the damn game.
BTW I didn't support Starbow and never will.

TY now has the highest all-time winrate in Code S.

Games were fun but I never thought it would be 4-0, thought it might go all the way to 7 games. Oh well, TY looks so good atm.

The community support didn't work very well then, interesting I ignored the Starbow movement, so I didn't know how big it got, although I must say I thought it's still alive.
