I missed this meme -- please explain!


In the first round of the Team Triple Strike Tournament earlier this week, LzGamer was playing against some Protoss guy named BoxerFan or something on scrap station. When the game (quickly) turned in Lz's favor, the other guy built a nexus at the top of his base. When it was done building he quickly exclaimed in chat "wtf nexus can't liftoff?" and started saying that you should be able to lift off your nexus since protoss is the more advanced race. Then Lz rolled him. Or something like that.

@Question Would it benefit SC2 game play and SC2 as a spectator e-sport to zoom out by 10-15% allowing the player and fans to see more on the screen at once?

Nope! Thats TL.net official cast. This is just something for me to spew out the garbage that is my stream of consciousness about SC2 and have the people who know what they're talking about there to make me sound good.

@Question: Many Protoss players say PvZ is heavily biased in Zerg's favor. Some Zerg players, however, contend that the matchup is imbalanced in favor of Protoss. Who is right, especially in terms of high level play?

If you're interested in submitting a question to ask this weeks cast, simply respond to this post and include a bolded @Question tag before your question. Pretty simple! If this is something I continue to do, I'll probably setup a Twitter account or e-mail and have questions sent there.


As a kind favor to me, please don't make it so people can only ask questions from Twitter, as I absolutely refuse to get a Twitter account (for various reasons). It's not a big deal, though.

The podcast itself seems like it's gonna be pretty awesome. Thanks a lot for putting it together.

That looks pretty good, looking forward to it.

@Do you think that MULEs being so strong in late low-econ style games is a problem? It does seems to remove a lot of options from their opponents. (exemple, LittleOne vs Nazgul game on Metalopolis) If yes, do you have any idea how this could be improved/fixed?

The distinct mechanics of each SC1 race were the cornerstone which inspired lasting racial identities that went beyond simple competitive analysis. Like mythical gods they inspired allegiance, personified ideals, and even transcended the players by shaping how fans perceived progamers' personalities. Not only are diverse races good for the depth or complexity of a strategy game, but the strong racial identities inherently develop spectator attachment to one player over another in any game they see, building investment in the outcome of a game which otherwise may not have been significant to the viewer. It is this investment, built on by developing favorite players and increased exposure to the community, which fuels e-sports; it is the reason we care. @Question Given the evolution of Beta metagame thus far, as well as the trend in balance patches thus far, do you think the racial identities are more or less distinct than in SC:BW? Have they reasonably maintained the old identities? And if you consider Beta from a less technical newcomer spectator perspective, do you believe SC2 will have the distinct polarizing effect of its predecessor?

Why do they have to both apply? Someone's already come out with a tool that eliminates the zoom limit, there's no reason why spectators couldn't have this functionality in-game, while players were restricted to the usual, limited FoV.

looks promising!

Questions:
- Do you think Blizzard should implement Highround-advantages like in SC1?
- What do you think about the hard-counter-System with huge DMG-Boni against certain Armor-types as it is currently used in SC2?

@Question: It has been said that the ZvZ-mu is a race for roaches/hydras and that number of drones mining isnt as critical as in SC1. Does this mean that early drone scouting could start happening in ZvZ and the matchup become more like the other mirror match-ups? Since the economy isn't such a crucial factor as it was in SC1 ZvZ.

@Question: How do you predict the trilogy aspect of StarCraft II will affect the lifespan, progaming potential, and popularity of the game in the future? Will Blizzard use this as an opportunity to truly "perfect" the game by time all of the expansions are released, and how do you think this will compare to the way BroodWar changed StarCraft 1?

I personally hope this doesn't happen. I hope they get it right so both are viable, so my question would be.

@Question: What needs to happen to allow both Mech and Bio to work for all matchups in SC2?

Hey JP, with ZvT being the weekly matchup to be discussed, is this strictly from the Zerg's point of view or can questions about TvZ be asked as well?
