Hey guys,
How do you think phoenix's/VR's will be viable in PvT now. I feel a lot of T i play uses a ton of differing timing pushes - thor push/banhsee push etc.
Do you think phoenix is a viable opening or does that leave you to open to early bio pressure?

Stalemate Detection has been added.
The game will end in a tie for all remaining players if no players have income, production, or destroyed any structures for three consecutive minutes.
A countdown timer will now appear when the game detects this scenario.
THIS IS GOOD. No more Terran buildings flying to corner!

The draw system needs an additional condition : No unit kill for three consecutive minutes.
There are situations when you have a small group of units defending the remain of a base trade against a kind of similar opponnent army. In these cases you'll need micro, some time (more than 3 mins) and smart moves to be able to win.

VR openings are very viable already, the phoenix buildtime reduction will just make it even more efficient in case your opponent goes for a 1/1/1 - because phoenixes are a good thing to have both against tanks and against banshees.

No, that's stupid. There are way too many scenarios when units are not killed for 3 straight minutes. It's fine as it is.

Edit: Tbh if you are attacking PF headon with 30 scvs repairing it(without aoe such as blings/storms), I think you have other issues than targeting SCVs, but don't mind. Exactly. PFs are absurdly difficult to take down, that's what is being fixed. I don't know, I always just outranged it or used air and just halted mining by doing so and let them waste a craptonne trying to repair it.
Remember that they pay a quarter of the cost for a full hp repair and they stop mining. The mass repair is hardwired into so many people that some pros even make the mistake of doing it when it went doing regardless of mass-repair in 6 seconds, meaning they probably spent 2 planetary fortresses in repair cost plus a lot of SCV's who stayed there to extend its life 6 second and maybe kill some stalkers with it.
They should have thus forfeit it and run their SCV's the crap out of there because the army was sooo huge they couldn't even mass repair it with total surface coverage.

It's fine as it is. I said "additional", it means the draw system needs to pop up if there are no income/production/structures destroy/ unit kill for 3 mins.
To prove my point, in this replay [ http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=details&id=179356 ] with the current draw system, the Zerg player wouldn't be able to win.

Another question...how is this masters league going to work? I hear its the top 5%? What happens to the people already in the top 5%, are you already auto-master-leagued?
HAs anyone in SEA got into masters yet?
|
Yeah top few % get Masters but have to get it by winning one game.
|
oh its just one game(assuming your already in the top 5%)?
and how accurate do you guys think sc2 ranks is? accoridng to that im top 1% but im a little skeptical..o_O
