In that specific situation I just re-watched it and I'd say there is a definite advantage to the defender; more time to block holes and see what's happening and react than there normally would be. You are not lowering the skill ceiling. You are changing what it's composed of. I'm so tired of this simplistic bullshit. With a slower game speed, micro that would be impossible on faster comes within grasp, creating a new regime of micro you should be doing to maximize value -- if you're good enough. The micro we think of as standard would then be considered more of a base line, but that doesn't mean that suddenly the skill was sucked out of the game. On topic: wow nice find. What an interesting circumstance that transpired, pretty funny in retrospect. | ||

And, even if everything were equal, it was the wrong game speed and therefore the game should be waste-basketed. | ||

Yeah, it deserves to be waste-basketed, but it's utterly impractical to do so now. | ||

This is actually a big deal. But there is nothing that can be done except that GOM has to issue an apology to Life/Parting and ensure stuff like this doesn't happened.( Watch Byun vs Nestea) | ||

Observers can change the game speed? That's a bit of a stupid addition isn't it? | ||

It was better for protoss in this individual game because zerg was attacking and he was defending which gave him time for better positioning, but I don't think it is inherently better for protoss. If he didn't decide to attack and instead went for a muta opening the map would have a probe count of zero. | ||

Yeah, it sucks. But there's nothing to be done about it at this point. | ||

Yeah, Life's lings are slower (slower that only one person in the entire community noticed) but so are Parting's units, and so are the Forcefields he used to hold off Life's aggression. Yeah, it sucks. But there's nothing to be done about it at this point. 14% speed isnt minuscule, also it makes a huge different due to how the game was played out. When you put on ling aggression you count on your opponent not being able to respond in time. Imagine playing some sort of zergling rush defense map, would you want to play it at 100% or 150% (if you played for money)? Pretty sure anyone would take 100% any time of the day. This is a pretty big find. Hope it doesn't occur again. | ||

It's so you don't have to rehost the entire fucking game every time someone hosts it in the wrong speed. It's just that nobody noticed that it was...in the wrong speed. | ||

It's just that nobody noticed that it was...in the wrong speed. As I said before though, there's no reason that "DECREASE GAME SPEED" should have a default keybind. There's no harm in ever hitting the "+" key, but if you hit "-" on accident, you're always fucking up a game. | ||

In that specific situation I just re-watched it and I'd say there is a definite advantage to the defender; more time to block holes and see what's happening and react than there normally would be. And also the brain reaction and mouse movement is still the same regardless the game speed. Therefore there was more time for Parting to make decision & perform defense action when he noticed ling rush. | ||

Yeah, it sucks. But there's nothing to be done about it at this point. It's only minuscule to someone who can't micro well enough to tell the difference, at a pro level it's pretty game-changing. At the same time it goes to show how "in the zone" the players were and how hyped everyone else was that nobody reacted in time. The reason it's game-changing is not necessarily that the lings are slower, but that PartinG had more time than you normally would in any other match to place his forcefields with accuracy. Again, if you don't micro at the top level, you won't be able to tell the difference yourself, but even the slightest fraction of a second can turn a situation upside down when it comes to spells like forcefields. Although yeah, it's too late to do anything about it. Also lol at that guy above who suggests that GOM fixed the group to end up like this. -_- smh | ||
