Interesting interview. The optimism for Starcraft 2 even by the top players seems to have been dwindling the last couple weeks (obviously). It kinda sucks that this game I felt so passionate about, is slowly turning into something that doesn't seem like it can survive the longevity that BW has. Hopefully IdrA is wrong and SC2 won't die. At the same time though, i don't want BW to die as well!

I concur with patch 10/11 balance versus 12-13 though...LISTEN to us please blizzard!!

don't worry, they'll fix roaches.

they are a key unit and if they're not doing their job, they'll have to be fixed.

personally i've been thinking that the ultralisk could be totally fixed if it was dropped down to lair tech with hydra den the pre-requisite for ultra cave... hive causes the ultra to be more like a tier 3.5, which means they come out a century after thor/colossus.

quote]At WCG kolll surprised you, in TSL it was NonY. Why are players like NonY, who wasn't that active, able to beat you? You play so many matches, know a huge number of strategies and so on.

IdrA: Once you've reached the level NonY did it is not that hard to regain good shape, especially with Protoss. He pretty much destroyed everyone else he played. Also our games weren't management games, and mechanics are what suffer with inactivity, not strategy and psychology.[/quote]
Lolol Protoss @_@

Thanks for this, was a very informative interview.

Are you sure? Because a lot of people noticed huge difference about tank splash done recently.

Here: "Siege Mode splash damage now originates from the center of the target, rather than the impact location near the unit in order to maintain more reliable splash damage."

This changes everything.

Yes, they have always had splash. Yes, mass siege tanks have always murdered infantry/zealots/zerg ground.

Trust me, or just go look at any old game with tanks in it and you'll notice the huge splash.


Okay, maybe someone else clarifies! I think it changed because I used to be able to shove 200 roach army into tanks and at least rid of some. Maybe it's just my imagination, I just felt that something about the splash distribution was completely different.

"Players like Strelok and MorroW aren't supposed to be able to beat players like Dimaga, because he's just ten times more skilled."

Haha thats ROUGH.. I understand saying Morrow, but Strelok is definitely a skilled gamer, one of the best terrans in foreign BW by far.. I do understand Strelok isnt super active in SC2, so I guess thats what he is talking about. still though, ouch!

I hate to say it but I agree with idra on most of these points =/


I'd actually give Morrow the edge here, Strelok didn't impress much before plus Morrow is like 20 years younger.

great interview, it's nice to see the thoughts of a strong SC2 zerg
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
