EPTIt removes certain strategies specifically for close positions. A good player should know how to deal with any and all situations when placed in them, right?

I don't have a problem with close positions in general. Only with close positions on certain maps. Close by ground on metalopolis, slag pits, and shattered temple is bad You say that you don't mind close positions but you agree that close positions on meta, slag and shattered are bad. These are the three maps that zerg have the most problems on as they are the only maps in the ladder pool which have the chance of very close positions, putting zerg at a disadvantage. | ||

No it doesn't it just delays certain strategies. You can cheese in any position, just in close positions your opponent has to react 100% perfectly or they lose. | ||

What if, these positions allow for such strategies that while the players are of the highest level, the outcome of the match is decided solely on the positions that allow the other player to use a build that the other has no chance of stopping, even while perfectly scouted? | ||

As zerg it means that you will have to win before the 3rd expand needs to kick in or you're basicaly dead! since there is no way you'll be able to defend the drops and the hidden pylons warpin. Also you're like WAYYYY more vulnerable to terrans and toss allins that are.... PRETTY STRONG!!  Oh and to all of those that says "No, no, don't remove my free wins, it's more diverse play style" they're all either toss or terran and most likely all cheezers! | ||

Sure. Then let's add "open base" maps, too, where your entire main is wide open and it's impossible to sim-city due to unbuildable terrain. Just to make sure that Terrans/Tosses can "adjust" to dealing with early Z aggression if they can't wall off. Point is, sure, pro players need to adjust, but if a situation favors one player completely over another, then that's still unfair; one guy has to "adjust"more than the other in a setting that's supposed to be a fair test of skill. | ||

This is probably the most arrogant post I've read in a while. Do you know why people want close positions removed? Because you can't deal with certain situations if you're too close to your opponent. Close spawns are usually an all-in fest because there is no 3rd to take. You can't do anything if you're lacking options. edit: typo | ||

Cross positions = fair game. If close positions was balanced, then I wouldn't mind it, even if strategy had to be diversified to account for it. But it's actually imba. No amount of creativity can allow the zerg to not be screwed royally on close positions. There is no 3rd! TvZ cross positions Taldarim is not hugely Z favoured as you think, Terran just has to macro and drop harass. Taldarim is quite balanced any positions TvZ. Close metal is NOT. | ||

It forces zerg to play an all in because theres no way to defend or do anything in time since its literally 1 mistake -> they're in your base and you lose like i said ealrier in this thread,should be 100% removed | ||
