Regarding this argument between Incontrol and Artosis/Day9:

The problem is that mech is so far removed from other strategies that you may have to practice it for months to get good.

In this case, you have to sacrifice so much as a pro to go down that route, and it might not be viable, that it's not worth it to go down that practice route. Since you'll behind in bio play if it's not viable.

In general, I think it's crazy to think that pros have every possible strategy mapped out to completion.

I'm not saying Artosis is right, but every metagame shift is a hypothetical until it happens.

It is hypothetical but geoff cant prove it categorically wrong, hes just resorting to trolling/been aggressive.

I have to agree with Day9 and Artosis. Mech is harder to do. But it could be stronger and win a higher percentage of games. Incontrol is not making the most sense to me :\.

Well if Day9 is as good as he thinks he is, GM with all races or whatever the hell, maybe he should be trying it himself.

Thank god Day9s still there. If this show was just artosis/incontrol/jp this would have went to hell.

ROFL what are you going to say when eventually a terran like artosis says actually gets a mech build and wins with it? Will you still be ROFL'ing over it?

I agree with artosis, it will be insanely hard to optimize it especially with how tvp is played with bio. It would result in a bunch of losses to players you normally beat easily. But in the long run you could be the one who popularizes mech. I can't wait for a terran player to do it from korea.


What am i going to say if...?
What is this, some kind of a joke? This game is out now for 1,5 years and mech has been nerfed, BFH nerf, immortals buff, don't you think this would have been figured out by someone by now?
Why havent we seen any important TvP mech victory in any tournament?
Hes argument is that its because pros dont use it, why the hell dont they?
We are talking about players who are playing for hundreads of thousands of dollars

How hard do you think Artosis is trying not to critisize Incontrol's results since Incontrol used the "im a progamer, and you arent" card?

If you can't prove it wrong it's not a valid hypothesis.

Anyway, this is why I love SoTG. These types of discussions.

Yeah, Geoff resorts to being a douche again. Since episode one, I cannot recall him ever accepting any viewpoints other than his own. I still remember him making fun of Painuser for talking about Guardian Shield and +1 armor against marines. He basically went "lol ur counting bulletz, ur dum. marines op". He always gets hung up on one idea that he refuses to accept isn't the way everyone sees it. See also: Shakuras Plateau is added to the ladder map pool.

I'm with incontrol on this one. Artosis is using his quasi-incorrect views on mech tvt and translating it to tvp, and it's really irritating.

They're both right and they're both wrong. Mech is of course better than what is currently being played... But so are other forms of bio/mech or pure bio that I'm sure haven't been played yet. The game isn't fleshed out for anybody to really know what is actually best, only what works now.

I disagree with mech being harder... mech tvt and tvz is definitely easier than marine/tank or bio.

The reason they don't use mech is because Ghost is kind of a good unit. Take their shields and energy away? Ya.. fuck you tanks.

the only time you will ever see mech work is on close position map where the terran doesn't need to be defending alot of area.
