No.


Excuse me? Why just "no." He was trying to make it seem like because he had to figure out the technicalities in using scroll-casting effectively, he should be rewarded with being allowed to gain that significant and retarded advantage. So for that, I do believe he is an idiot.

It doesn't matter, the whole scroll thing is trash anyway. It doesn't work, but people that never tried it out won't know this..

Snipes to kill a brood lord went from 5 to 9, really not as much as they're making it out to be

What's the range of the raven's HSM? Like if the zerg has proper infestor control is it even possible to get close enough to fire of the HSM? This is a question not a whine.

theres alot of gamers on this episode but none of them are talking about ravens + hsm vs broodlords lol


That's true. Morrow also used mass HSM vs a brood army and crushed it.
I've seen that somewhere (I think a stream or GSL), and it was surprisingly good. They absolutely melt broodlords.


It's clear from Nestea vs MVP games from a few months ago in GSL semi-finals (the one with the Blizzcon finals) that mass Raven + HSM is already used frequently in mech TvZ.

In Game 4 of their series, Nestea attacked MVP's Raven + Thor army with Broodlords, and spread them as soon as he saw the Ravens.

Kind of following on from my point earlier, our percieved way the game works is often so far behind how it actually works in Korea, because when tactics are used in televised games, they are normally refined and are actually not original. They have been practiced repeatedly and then used. This means that actually, it's entirely possible that in practice it's standard to go mass Ravens with HSM, and there are hints towards that (Keen's games in small Korean tourneys, etc).

I would equate making mouse-scroll into left or right click with your mouse drivers with making macro scripts with your advanced keyboard drivers, neither of which should be allowed in tournaments.

Well his implication that it is "fair to use" and silly that people disagree with gaining an unfair advantage through such 3rd-party means is laughable stance for a "pro-gamer" to take.

Yeah so silly of Terrans not to use Ravens, every other race used every tool they had from the start, just look at how long Warp Prism has been used effectively!

Do you think it's reasonable that you have to get Tech Labbed Starports, Energy Upgrade, HSM Upgrade and then still wait for even more energy to even USE the ability? It's really not strange that Terrans resent Ravens in their current state.
