okay, maybe the BW elitists were right and SC2 fans need to be bullied

You dont agree that at the high lvl of tvz currently it just looks like the faster player wins?


yah and that's the point of starcraft since 1998

condolences if you think that shouldn't be so, but have been forced to be a fan of the game for a decade because there's no alternative

I guess? Idk it felt like in the past there were opportunities but at the optimisation we are at right now it feels even more pronounced.

Okay, so the highest level only consists of Serral, Clem and Maru. In that case I agree that the fastest player wins

These categories of "the highest level" or "top tier pros" were ridiculous years ago when people decided that game balance should be based around top 10 players only (a sample way too small to conclude anything about balance vs. skill difference) and now I guess we're at a point were being a top 10 player isn't even enough to be at the highest level, you literally have to be one of these three guys

Reynor is at the highest lvl when he practises but not when he is playing lol and just went to korea (and not to practise).

My bad, here's my exhaustive list of top SC2 players:

Clem
Serral
Maru
Reynor when he practices a lot
herO outside of important top4s (toss can't win here)
MaxPax in online tournaments except when the stakes are high
Dark if he weren't going to the military

I believe that should be everyone, no?

I mean yea top is clem,maru,reynor,serral,herO (maxpax is a special case thats why i dont list him into this tier) dunno if we still wanna count dark.
Then you have the players just below who can punch them but not consistently like cure, Byun, lately i'd put shin in here too and well maxpax outside of esl weeklies (solar struggles too much currently and rogue isnt fully back yet i feel).

Maru getting one last hit of that sweet Serral-trauma to end the year. I'm still mad at Vitality that they actually had him suffer through that during the WTL Finals

Since Clem has been beating Serral hard I figured Maru could, but he is probably too old/slow nowadays

Maru refuse to play the more aggressive style that prioritize army over economy, and his control just isnt great anymore. Like in game 3, he got a good harassments on Serral base, was slighly ahead on worker, and the army was pretty much equal. Then he did nothing aggressive for another 2-3 minutes, just turtling at home and build more CC, willingly giving map control to Serral doing the counter attack.

Its just impossible to defend if you have no vision on the map, Maru keep living on the edge by reacting in the last minute just doesnt work.

Man I really wish they’d never made that blooming cyclone haha

Is there a worse SC2 unit?

Very minor point but why is the overlay not showing the map name this tourney like it usually does?
