i just hate how all the top players playing are terran.

only 3 zergs we had were machine and slush and catz kinda.

but i'd rather watch brood war any day of the week over sc2 right now, i'm sure i'll love sc2 once innovative play/amazing and exciting micro and big, prestigious tourneys come.

People don't understand PvP that well. Yes there are these kind of rock paper scissors builds where one build beats another build, but loses to another, etc. However, there is a lot of micro involved at this level of play because every unit counts so much in PvP. The games have been great and will continue to be great.

There have been some FANTASTIC games in this especially for a game thats been out 1 month.

actually after checking the thread closer it seems about half the people in here actually do have a brain

Nice quality posting there.

Also if you weren't happy with the ways the Ts were playing, you will be happy to know the final 3 are all protoss. So moar PVps!


ty i was really worried about the quality of my posting in this thread

I actually really enjoy this torunament. Tons of games have been casted and the donwtimes are reasonable, I have watched MLG events where there was like 45 minutes between each casted WoW-series. The casters are doing a good job (although I'm not convinced that HD has a good understanding of the game).

It's unfortunate that the last few series were all pvp, but what you gonna do. Must be very hard for all those guys lurking the LR-thread who just waited for the right moment to tell us how broken terran is.

I don't think it's really fair to complain about MMM (or any build for that matter) for the reason of repetition, just because so many players are using it over and over. Look at brood war for a moment. Terran almost always goes vultures/tanks and protoss will go mass ground army. Hundreds of games have been played with people using the same, strong builds over and over, and yet many of them are still entertaining to watch just because of the decisions the players make and their abilities to manage their units so well. There's a HUGE difference between playing with MMM at bronze level and at pro level. When a commentator talks about countering, there's so much more going on than just making the right units. If you can look beyond unit compositions alone, most of the games were actually really exciting to watch.

The general turn out seemed poor compared to the IEM global challenge. Nearly all the games were extremely boring in comparison, Maybe Euro players just make for a more interesting tourney.

As a Zerg watching this MLG series; very boring. But that's my biased view.

Hopefully by next event we'll be a couple patches in and start seeing more Zerg progress through.

Kind of agree, just haven't been that exciting games. PvP is just 4gate vs 4gate totally boring, TvP is a little bit more fun but still the MLG players seem to stay to standard tactics and build not really mixing it up. Could have to do with the fact that these are not elite players of the world.

You dont like MMM? I dont like zerg strategy. Mainly because all they have are like 5 units. Thats it.

Every zerg starts out with zerglings, maybe a few banelings. Then he either goes roach or muta. Rarely goes hydra. Late game it's pretty much the same, maybe even a few corrupters.

Same thing.

check the mlg raleigh entry in liquipedia

there are no foreign zergs in THIS tourney

iem isn't as big as osl or msl but i think that's a bad comparison. obviously brood war is more prestigious atm, it's not like i hate sc2. i love sc2 but i just think brood war is more exciting atm. yeah ofc im pumped for gsl. i think the game is in an fantastic place for only being a month old. probably gonna be the most competitive esports game ever.

What the fuck?

A zerg player doesn't have the option to go for any other units early game, as that's all the units he has. How is that the same thing?

If you want to see innovative play, big money tournaments aren't the source. You may get a glimpse of creative plays, but that's pretty much it.

What sort of evidence do you have for a statement like this?

It's logical reasoning. Big money encourages plays that win. Innovative is unreliable.


Shit, broodwar never had room for creativity right?

...
It's also how old? Compare that to a game that's not even 6 weeks old.

god stop blaming balance for evry small tourneytrend. iem had 2 zergs in the top3. no P made it out of group. now we have mass Ps evrywhere and no zergs. different players that perform differently. that just happens.

He said Terran was boring to watch, i said Zerg was boring to watch.

Obviously, both statements are an exaggeration.

I personally dont find it boring. I came from Warcraft III and I'm very much used to seeing the same strategies used over and over again only with slight variances. Like for instance orc going bm/sh grunt/raider/spirit every match up every map. The entertainment value(at least for me) doesnt come down to the strategy used but how its utilized. Seeing how they use it and how other players react is enjoyable as there is always variances. There is no such thing as 2 perfectly identicle games.

I find MLG boring because of the missing crowd feeling.
And forgive me nothing for I truly meant it all
