Oh yeah i'd love to see some Cyclone mech play, though it didn't seem Gumiho was doing much of that. I could see Classic advancing over herO. | ||

Yeah, I've generally been quite happy with the gameplay and balance post-patch, but TvP seems to be in a truly dire place. The ghost and Raven nerfs did their job, but the disruptor nerfs seem to have opened up a whole new can of beans (plus widow mine drops sucking as usual). I wonder if there's anything that can be done by the balance council. Sad to see herO go out like this, but we'll see how Classic and Creator do as the Great Protoss Hope this time around. They're both playing quite well these days, and I would love to see either of them go far. Cure and Gumiho are both deserving champs tho imo, and seem more likely. | ||

The problem with the unit was never its raw strength, it was attention asymmetry between the attacker and the defender. | ||

The problem with the unit was never its raw strength, it was attention asymmetry between the attacker and the defender. Good idea. I think minimap's visual warning can be good with a red mark to avoid audio visual spamming or only warn when novas are fired outside of player's vision. | ||

No matter how good you play, protoss has too many insta lose scenarios. Hero outplayed him all game and then he loses a warp prism and isnta loses. Or how many games are decided because zerg get 2 units past the wall? Or a nydus insta kills a protoss, even when scouted, or protoss just dies because they scouted their DTs and put 1 turret? And lets be honest, Hero is way better than classic, so that doesn't bode well for the Protoss the rest of the GSL. | ||

Its nature is similar to that of the disruptor, except that it is cheaper and it hits earlier. | ||

He throws constantly, so I'm not sure it's fair at this point to say "herO is way better than Classic". With a bit of bracket luck, Classic could do well. | ||

Classic has done better than herO at most offline events afaik. But herO plays in a lot of online tournaments, where he does well, so his aligulac rating is better than Classic. I think both Creator and Classic have a decent shot to win this GSL tbh, if they can avoid Cure. Every other opponent seems beatable: Dark relies a lot on cheese/allins in ZvP nowadays, he seems beatable, while other players are good draws for the two protosses. | ||

I don't know what the ro8 brackets are yet, but if some T/Z can snipe Cure or something like that, a reasonable path is there. Really this GSL broke wide open when Scarlett beat Maru. Haha!! Or, <dreaming> a Protoss champion rises up with some new patch saved builds and Classic 3-0's Cure in the next round. I'd love to see it. edit -- brackets are up, they look decent;  Global StarCraft II League/2023/Season 3 | ||

Yes SC2 playerbase and viewership is but a tiny fraction of what it used to be but the matches are being played early morning for most English speakers (this site), so you aren't really going to have much action for a Tourney/LR thread. Me personally I go through the games on youtube after they are played when I have time, occasionally catching a match here and there live - but honestly the vod is better as you can avoid the mid match lulls and advertisements. As for the games for this group: I think overconfidence got the best of herO. Really sucks to almost take first and get knocked out but trying to 1 base site delta pvp in the last set was questionable to say the least. I think both him and Maru need to do what Creator did and just take a step back and reconsider their approach for these sets. Too many on the fly decisions that are either just low percentage plays to begin with or simply leave them too far behind. | ||
