Ugh. This is why I really dislike watching foreigners these days. Compared to Flash vs Life earlier this is so painful.

LOL and you're here pretending Flash vs Life was 2 guys playing the perfect game?

Goddamn, some people.


It's placebo also. If instead of Grubby and Stephano names these elitists see Life vs Parting they are OMG THE BEST GAME OF HOTS!


You didn't watch the game did you?


You are the one that claims this game was not action packed. So I assume you are the one watching ponies and cats on Reddit.


It was two players flailing at each other in one location with sloppy unit control while banking thousands and thousands of resources. No it's not placebo, Koreans are objectively better and provide cleaner and more entertaining games.

So how long are casters allowed to call abducts amazing and beautiful before we can complain that it's super easy and nothing special?


Thing is, abducts are single target and very expensive so picking where to use it and on what is actually a very complex decision.


Actually not really. You use it on the Colossi whenever your Vipers are over your army. It can have some cool utilizations but in a situation like that it's as one dimensional as it gets.

...What? If your opponent has shit colossus control and no concept of positioning relative to the new abilities, sure, abduct is easy to pull off. But vipers are expensive, abduct range is not that long, and smart protoss players will pull back colossi in response to viper advance, allowing stalkers to pick em off. The game is not even out and you are acting like the strategies are set in stone.


No I'm saying that in the situation in that game with the "amazing abducts" Stephano did the most brain dead obvious thing that anyone in Bronze could pull off and clicked on two Colossi. Abduct has 9 range, don't act like it's difficult or a matter of positioning for the Protoss because that's blatantly false. If Vipers are out against Colossi when the Protoss has no HT then those Colossi are dead

Nothing like definitive strategy talk before a game's release. Sorry you either can't control your colossi or you've never seen a toss....you know.....move them......


Can you get your head around the fact that I'm talking about one specific situation and not the ability as a whole? Yes Abduct can have some interesting utilizations, no that was not one of them.

Sure, the casters are overhyping a release day game move that shows off a cool new ability, I can agree with that. I was simply replying with incredulity in regards to this statement.

The above might, just might be true, but we cannot know such a thing until the game is released and the metagame really kicks in.

I think you're right about the colossi. I mean, Vikings against Colossi doesn't mean auto-kill of Vikings with Stalkers to zone out the Vikings.

Of course we can when Abduct has 9 range and Colossi have 9 range. If the Colossi are out of range of the spell then they aren't doing anything. Vipers are fast and have an army under them that the Protoss can't go near without getting annihilated. It would be like trying to get through a fight without taking a single Viking shot.

Hm, never thought about it before but it is pretty similar, yeah. Except that it's two players and all, but it's got some similarities. Like a Shakura's cut in half.

its all staged btw

hurr


are you serious? What makes you think that it is staged?


For one, they do mistakes, which is unusual for both players, and in the analysis of the first game, you can see Stephano whispering "Ready" in-game right before the DTs are getting warped in...
That's some points, which can lead you to believe that these games are staged (what are they playing for anyway, other than promotion?)
