I don't have a clue how you'd do that, but something or anything would be welcome.
You could have a vertically mirrored map with both spawns on the right side, but it'd be awkward and limiting. I'm personally not convinced it absolutely needs to be nerfed as is though.

He went too much into Bio and skip entirely the Factory and Starport, leaving him at the mercy of Trap micro. Game 1 was the best plan that Bunny had, but unfortunately Trap micro was too good and the Robo was early enough for observer.
Now that you speak of it, I recall terrans mostly doing safe tank play (sometimes after a window mine drop) vs such builds
What a stomp! This was such a showcase of game sense and micro skill from Trap, it was just insane. He looked leagues above Bunny. Hopefully he can take this momentum to the finals as well.
Awful series sadly, very underwhelming side of the bracket overall. Hopefully Dark - PartinG continues with the trend of great series in the lower side, but today was definitely hugely disappointing

That's probably the same guy that told me that just because he had Maru on his team, he's gonna beat Trap. I knew that Trap's gonna beat Bunny, even a sweep but I never expected for Bunny to be this worse, no offense to him.
Trap almost seemed 100% focused (some close calls in 1 or 2 games) ever since his GSL loss to Maru (in a reverse sweep).

You never know, he might have done a Jjakji or Gumiho!

honestly if we talk about the same guy (Garbo something iirc) his points weren't stupid and I was myself quite on a Bunny hype train. It's easy to say afterwards that Trap was sooooo much better and that Bunny didn't stand a chance. His first trick didn't work at all, which probably didn't give him any confidence and increase the pressure on him ; then he gets mauled by a blink build, and then 3-0 with the+ Show Spoiler +
bullshit
proxy void ray stuff and it's curtains, you just don't recover from that in that context ; I know Maru reverse swept Trap last time, but I just stopped watching at 3-0 and I was right to do so. Now imagine Trap goes for a later robo in the first game and Bunny's gamble pays off, maybe we get at least a decent series. Won't say I'm sure we do, because Bunny didn't look on point to me while Trap was playing in a very decisive way, but I think that saying Bunny could bother Trap wasn't completely idiotic ; after all, Heromarine said on his stream that he considers himself a very similar player to Bunny, and the last time Trap and Heromarine played an important series it didn't go well for Trap. Granted, it was a bo3, but I wouldn't have been surprised if Bunny had taken some games today.
Anyway he obviously didn't but both possible finals have great potential, so I'm still excited for Thursday and the upcoming finals

He was playing really well this tournament. I didn't expect him to win but I wish he could have taken a map or two.

Bunny played a horrible match today imo, 3 of his losses were build order issue, First game was the best build Bunny did, but failed due to Trap going with Robo first.

On the other hand you kinda knew that guy was trolling since in addition to a very low post count, he started talking about Trap being so so bad because he lost to Astrea. Given that Astrea has taken a map of virtually all best progamers (I checked Serral, Reynor, Rogue, Dark, Maru, Stats...), if it's not trolling it's naive at best. But Bunny did have a lot of momentum going for him, 4-0 was not the most expected outcome even though we probably all feared it might happen given the 3-0 at GSL:ST2 and the fact that Trap almost 4-0d Maru in the same ro4 spot.

Probably just an alt from someone trying to sway the crowd to get an advantage it the LB race

Like obviously Trap is heavily favoured, but that build still needs to die.
Would nerfing shield batteries proxy really affect any of the matchups? If you warp in a battery away from a nexus it starts with zero energy or something.
Watching this series was painful. The mobility of Protoss in the early and mid game of a PvT is ridiculous. Stalkers / voids / warp Prysms allow an easy retreat in almost every situation. And if not, recall.
Christ that was one of the worst series I've ever seen. I definitely expected Bunny to win and could not have been more wrong. That just really sucked to watch, and I still just hate watching Trap play.
I can't tell who is going to win this season anymore. I just hope it's not Trap.
