I haven't watched the whole tournament, but I was hoping for at least a bit of entertainment this afternoon. Uh, not so far. I truly haven't been excited by anything I've seen; Nothing memorable sticks in my mind. There are some decent matches, but too many that are either over instantly due to a weird counter-timing-push, or something stupid like Voidrays. And it's not like the "balance" even feels or looks off that much. Nothing seems stupidly imbalanced. However, I think the concerns that people voiced during beta, regarding SC2's possible failings as a great spectator game, are certainly turning out to have some weight to them. Obviously this is mostly a subjective impression. I can only speak for myself, but though I can watch Day[9]'s dailies all day long, I'm not finding these tournament games interesting or exciting to watch at all. | ||

ehh I guess that would be correct, since they have at least some control over the gameflow lol | ||

From what i see, terran is a better race cause they can counter more quickly by moving facto and starport to tec lab/reactor. | ||

I didn't say bio was bad, smart guy. Terrans can do whatever they want and win because everything they have is overpowered. Go watch Strelok vs. Dimaga from 2-3 weeks back and see how tank critical mass kills what should counter it perfectly. Protoss don't have "no problem" with tanks, it's just that Terrans got too lazy to make them and micro them because bio works so well for so little effort Anyway I know from your post history that you're incredibly thick and won't get it but smart people know that Blizzard is doing the right thing and we'll all look back on your foolishness and laugh later | ||

Yea, let's just magically poof all those units to our base and research everything. Timing pushes will never happen. I've tried it all, and really, I lose probably 75% of the time against MMM. Today I got early Colossi, got an observer out, saw medivacs going for a drop and raped them. Check the observer...everything is almost replenished at his base. Ok...so I keep pumping out Colossi, I don't see any Vikings coming out, and I figure if he does, my ground forces should steamroll the MMM because he'll have to cut that. Well he get's about 9 vikings which dominate my Colossi within seconds, nothing my stalkers could do about it. His ground forces, well after watching the replay his 4 rax never stopped producing, so they were as they would be. I get rolled. I completely outplay him, take out a HUGE portion of his army from the drop, and I lose because he got MMM+Vikings...all off one base. I don't think the kid even had stim. Edit- And for a race that has been known to have fairly week anti-air, it seem kind of stupid to have air-to-air only units be able to shoot their money unit down. | ||

IEM was better from the setup,casting,games and players. but mlg was till great stuff and im glad that sc2 is slowly kicking off now. | ||

Go watch Strelok vs. Dimaga from 2-3 weeks back Was that a joke, or were you being serious? :/ Protoss don't have "no problem" with tanks, it's just that Terrans got too lazy to make them and micro them because bio works so well for so little effort So your implying that the current progamers who practive an average of 8 hours a day are too "lazy" to use optimal strategies. rly. | ||
