EPTOn Faster the game clock seconds are actually FASTER than real-world seconds which is silly if you think about it. It implies that Faster was never meant to be the default speed to play on.

This is pretty huge and Life (and Parting I suppose, though he probably doesn't care) deserve at least a public apology. | ||

Fast seconds are real seconds because the campaign is on fast speed on normal difficulty which is what the vast majority of players who play the campaign choose. He's right though. Back in starcraft 1 blizzard intended for people to play the game on normal speed. Then the koreans are just too crazy and played at fastest speed and realized the game was much better (true story). This is why faster is faster than the real life clock in sc2. | ||

ofc its kinda stupid, but i think parting would have done the same even on fastest speed. i mean it was decided early on, his whole attention was on defending anyway.. (btw i am a big life fanboy!) | ||

A slower overall game speed is advantageous for the player who is playing passively and responding to the opponent, in this case: parting. An aggressive player relies on his opponent to be taken by surprise and respond slowly in effect so an overall slow speed is bad for whoever tries to initiate engagements. It's also very unsettling for the player who has a build prepared. They're going to feel "off" and slow throughout the game without knowing why even if his build order is right. | ||

(btw i am a big life fanboy!) I think it's a fairly big deal - considering Life's game plan was all about an aggressive ling attack, he was at a fairly large disadvantage due to Parting having an easier time microing against the lings, and more time to respond with force fields etc. Could Parting have won anyway? Maybe. Probably, even. But it's a big deal for sure. | ||
