If I remember correct.

Maru went through the open bracket in 2018 and made the ro4. Almost won vs the champion.

Stats went through the ro64 in 2017 and barely lost the final 3-4 to TY.

soO went through the open bracket/ro76 in 2019 and won the whole thing.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Pretty sure twitch chat has a higher average skill level than the balance whining going on in this thread.

Yeah, they did it so there is more enjobable playing (for zerg) and viewing, withouth any thought of the implications, that's the whole issue most people ahd with the patch. I'll due on the hill that Tempest need a buff.

do you ever do anything other than complain about protoss balance?

it was a cheese build, i don't think you can interpret anything about the balance of tempests from this match. if anything, how maru reacted should tell you WHY this build isn't played outside of a random cheese.


Sometimes I complain about Terran balance, but here it seems they eneded up with the best result of still being decent vs Zerg and buffed vs Protoss.

And yeah, I agree Classic didn't lose because of balance, he justplayed terrible, but that doesn't mean Tempest don't need a buff when the unit they are supposed to counter got better, BC are still decent agaisnt them, and their counters (vikings) got buffed.

if only protoss had other units that dealt bonus armor damage.

but seriously, how do you enjoy the game when this is the only thing you do in every thread I see you post in?

I think this lowground wall in TvZ thing is just a terrible idea. Too exposed, if you end up with Stim exposed in the wall, it's just a very bad situation vs any aggression.

I think it has more to do with trying to give Protoss viewers a W after all of the previous L's they've taken on the big stage from the last couple groups.

I'll admit I do have those viewpoints but might exagarate them to create discussion between matches (They could use the same buff hydras got to aquire targets faster though, but yeah unrelated to that game classic lost)

I'm telling you that the reason they can't do that with Tempests is because the first thing Protoss will do with that buff is to use them in proxy all ins again. At least with Broodlords and Vikings buffing them that way doesn't lead to stupid builds like that becoming a thing.

If they're going to buff Tempests it has to be in some other way that doesn't affect their ability to be exploitive in the early game. Making them more microable like you're suggesting is just going to lead to toxic builds becoming common again and that's going to lead to them being nerfed again.

Let's see how Serral's next matches will turn out. It's a delicate number of ZvZs.
