marauders need a fix. Not nerf, but somehow need to be redone

Edit: and I feel PvP more exciting than TvP. Since all TvP comes down to will P survive MMM or not

Drewbie vs Socke says otherwise, if you didn't scream out in excitement at least once on that game you sir may want to check for a pulse.
Not every game is going to be a show stopper event, those that are, do it really really well however. This hasn't changed.
Overall the tournament after the first rounds actually really really good from what I've been seeing. *shrug* Guess I am easier to entertain.

Have you guys watched Masq vs Slush? Masq is like the definition of the typical Terran player who thinks he can roll any Zerg by making reapers. His control was so horrible I literally started cracking up in the middle of the stream. But it literally goes to show how many Terrans can get around by using these strong builds and completely rolling over inexperienced players, whereas when you actually run into a clear superior player you will have your ego stripped away and be completely humiliated. Bastards, eat it.


Masq is a great player. It was probably nerves. It doesn't help that Slush played perfectly either. Terrans aren't just laughing their way to the podium because of easy strategies, because if you haven't noticed, all top 3 are Protoss.


That's true I haven't considered that, so I'll take back what I said. Masq was laughing during that game though oddly enough, but it probably was one of those shaky laughs because I don't see why someone would be laughing at all those units dying.

If you go into a stream with the attitude of "omg all these op strategies going to suck so much" then yeah, the games will suck. If you go into it with a "I cant wait to see these games!" attitude, then they're fun. Games are fine. You just have a sucky perception of them.


110% agree with this, i have been waiting for weeks for this and its still very exciting. the only thing that sucks is that there arnt very many high level zergs here and its down to protoss and terran. if Idra was at this event and Machine didnt get knocked out first round to Incontrol the even would have been much more exciting to watch.

I'm finding MM in SC2 to be really, really boring. It feels like there isn't much micro going on because marauders destroy things so incredibly fast.

This was probably the most interesting tournament so far. The matches last night, specifically drewbie vs socke, were fantastic, and every match today was also great. Only the first few matches weren't interesting because they had random people due to open registration.

Saying that this is boring is like saying that Broodwar is boring because everyone opens the same. That isn't what either game is about.


I doubt that you've seen the KotB tournament (easily the best tournament), only one Terran in the semi-finals, and guess what... everyone loved it. Maybe the only ones who didn't like it were Terrans who don't even know the mechanics of the other races and coundn't follow along.

Now that the game is out we have a bunch of new players whom we have never even heard of who know how to go MM, you may find it interesting now but I guarantee you that after having seen MM in almost every pro SC2 game you will find it tiring and pointless to watch. You'll just think:

"Ok what could happen here? Terran will go MM:
-Game ends withing first push
OR
-Game does not end in the first push and Terran just expands and gets more MM regardless of what opponent has. And the other player has to counter MM which you already know what that will be like, and since Terran seems to stick with MM no matter what. So the opponent will have to stay with MM counter. And then the game just goes on to who has more "stuff" and whether or not Terran knows how to dodge storms."

Knowing that, and after seeing a bunch of games that follow this concept exactly, you will find that watching any matchup with Terran in it is a complete waste of time.

Just me that find PvP 4 gate vs 4 gate is more boring then MM micro since it doesn't have a lot alternatives in how you counter it?

I enjoyed the tourney but when you compare this batch of players to the players @ IEM you can't expect much.

And at IEM you don't think Toss players were dissapointed? I don't understand all this "Tourney sucks because this race isn't in here. QQ" Just enjoy the games. Will someone fill me in on why they can only watch this game if their favorite race is playing??

How to beat a terran going MMM against protoss...

Storm, collosi, stalkers, immortals. Storm is key.

The point here is not even how to beat MMM, its just that seeing MMM every single game of the tournament(since Terran plays in every single game) is getting boring.



Terran doesn't have a ton of options against Protoss. MMM or Marine+Banshee is about their only options for stable opens. The tank nerf is going to make this matchup even more MMM biased since I don't think you'll see anyone build tanks against Protoss.

Drewbie vs Socke had some of the most exciting games I have seen in a while. Also, the war of the worlds PvP between huk and kiwikaki was very cool to watch.
