Looking at the format more closely, I'd have liked the Bo3 stage to end a round earlier. So that it goes for the top 8, not just the top 6.

Since the loss to Cure in GSL it's been pretty downhill. I suppose that's just another tell the end of his career is nigh.

Yeah kind of. Zest maybe didn't think that he needed to retire gracefully when military service just near (or maybe he managed to avoid?) so that he spent remaining time to entertain us even with downhill performance.

Im digging what the caster say, either Zest looks pristine or he looks helpless. No middle ground, no consistency .

Poor ZG and FD stuck to start casting at 5 am Happy to have them though, it's a great duo for the TSL vibe.

Clem-herO could be interesting, Clem tvp is looking mighty but if herO is really looking to get back to the top, that could be the kind of match to get him up there.

Yeah, the phoenixs caught the cyclones while void rays focuses on destroying the factory. HerO had more game sense even though his mechanic was still poorly handled due to not playing for about two years.

Times have changed. Voids build faster, are cheaper and move faster now. Mines rely too much on the Protoss being bad in this situation.

Well phoenix/adept was really just either try to turtle to ghosts or pray you don't get absolutely destroyed by your own widow mines.

Also, I can't beleive I never made the solar=Bomber law comparaison, it's really the same stuff.

I agree, I didn't realize how far they were stretching the Bo3 setup.

I still don't mind it because I'm always down for variety, but it does mean that I'm not going to take the results of this as seriously as I do for other tournaments. With how violatile SC2 is it's always easy to take someone down in a Bo3, even if they are the stronger player.

I always wonder what were they thinking when they added this upgrade.

Storm wouldn't change the fights, lurkers don't care about storm.

Exactly, storms would have allowed him to get away with more units.

The idea that Mass Bane is better than Mass Ling is just wrong, Scarlett had zero need to make 50-60 banes like that. He could have swarmed with more lings and use bane to take down building or chase Marine away.
She was up 1-1 vs +1 and then 2-2 vs 1-1 for so long and couldnt use any of that advantage, and also delayed her own Hive tech was "the throw"

The late-game TvP confidence we've seen from players like Ryung and GuMiho has surprised me. Feels like just a few months ago, late-game TvP was a death sentence for the 'weaker' player—is this what we call a meta-shift ?

I think so. As much as Zest did not deliver as we expected him, I think Cure's performance was much disappointing than him.

They could have stopped earlier. I didn't ask for them to do year-end patches every year in LotV. Then we could have done funky shit with maps and pretended we were Brood War.

This queen walk meta is kinda awful for a spectator, I can’t imagine for the players. Dunno whose favored balance wise but it makes the match-up the worst personally, I enjoy more ZvZ/PvP atm

Zest used to be able to defend Queen Walk to near perfection previously, his double SG and defense setup has been very good. Not sure why the hell its so un-watchable nowadays.

It's always been unwatachable shit even when people held it. But recently Zest looks like he's basically done with the game and just counting days to his enlistment date.

I've seen some good defenses against the ling-bane-queen with good sim city + force field. I wonder how much early-scouting/reads you need to set it up though.

Oh, you can definitely defend. The problem is that you almost never come out ahead and it's very easy for Zerg to transition into a macro game.

I feel like making queen unable to transfuse off creep and bumping the production time on void would be a pretty simple fix, not to much to break there

By the way, does someone know if Ratata is named after the Pokemon or the firing onomatopoeia?

I wish Blizzard didn't stop working on the game in one of the most asinine, atrocious and unfun ZvP/PvZ metas of all time.

Blizzard is the company who got us into this mess, do you trust them to fix this? Ifear they would make things worse.

They could have stopped earlier. I didn't ask for them to do year-end patches every year in LotV. Then we could have done funky shit with maps and pretended we were Brood War.

Well, missed opportunity is a nice stuff, but reality is different xD So do you trust Blizzard enough to patch them this shit? :D I don't :D

They can fix this easily, without question. The real question is always what they break in return.

Well that's exactly what I am worried of. That they will fix queen walks and we get something even worse in return.


I feel like making queen unable to transfuse off creep and bumping the production time on void would be a pretty simple fix, not to much to break there

I mean, the Queen walk is a response to the VR openings. If those are nerfed Queen walks prob won't be a problem anymore.
The real problem is that other openings are pretty bad since the WP cost increase

Probably the pokemon because his chosen name is Rattata with double t in the middle, exactly the Pokemon's name.

Given that it's spelt exactly like the Pokémon and I've never seen anyone use that spelling to describe the sound of gunshots, I'm gonna go ahead and guess he's taken up the name of a purple rodent.

I didn't see how they cut up the video but I mentioned that Katowice is confirmed offline. There's already a few events going on in other esports with offline players and even crowd. No one knows the future tho so we just pivoted to talking about what they'd want changed.

Aw yeah, this was more a funny moment for me, I get the question after 2 years of online only. Just the wording with COVID getting better at this moment is unfortunate

Wow brutal losses for Clem this tournament :/. I still have faith for Katowice with group stages etc., two bo3 at this level can be lost very quickly even though he improved his TvT/TvP

Clem should just consider playing in GSL next year perhaps. Marinelord and Heromarine do not help him either in Eu region.

Clem was doing much better in TvT earlier this year.
I would say he's not in great shape atm overall.

I think Clem just need to play with more discipline in TvT, trying to keep his army home more often than doing drop before he got 3 base down.
Lots of his move in early game are too "all-in", and when they dont work its horrible. His macro is plenty great enough to win a straight up macro TvT game against anyone but Maru.

Pretty important win for Dream in regard to Kato by the way, he's currently 30 or so point in front of Zoun who occupy the last spot for the main stage with Solar just behind. With Solar-Zoun coming up in ST3 and Zoun still alive in Next, he really need a deep run here.

Keep in mind there's a big chance Zest will drop out.

Yeah, not sure why Zest military service status is still not yet confirmed even at this point. But more importantly, I want to see if there is any good chance for Classic and Hero to make it to the Ro36 of IEM, depending on how Hero does in this tournament and how Classic does in NeXT.

Well the last spot in the Ro36 is currently Hurricane who I believe retired as well. So I don't mind their odds.

I don't know about that, but Zest and Clem have been on pretty major slumps lately, Zest in particular.

Gumiho is still in his "just came back from the military" phase. I keep hoping we'll see him resurge like we have with some other players but that's still a ways off if it happens at all.

But, but... when we get that high level "parity", the game will live forever as long as it exists.

We'll get rid of balance whine, new metas, further patches, tiring blah blahs etc.

When Parity finally hits upon us like it should've been aeon's ago, people just forget racism because every tournament, every matchup, every map, everything is always inherently balanced by the fact that you must always play the game from both sides of the match up.

In all of esports, the "balance" issues are THE most easily solvable "problems" ever in SC2, if the "parity" is the ultimate goal at top level competition.

Only guys who are good with all of races are worthy enough...

Parity is not something that must be struggled for if desired, it is just automatic conclusion and the result from the situation where the racial imbalances are collectively balanced via consensus (even if forced by majority - lol) by everyone with voluntarily accepted necessity to play equally with all races in every tournaments of some worth...

It's only about tournament formats and brackets, and maps. The parity.

Balance was, is, and will be non-issue, as long as people think the game as a whole, not a race.

Blizzard should allow only "random" at ladders.
