Because Protoss has more time to do things such as place forcefields, while Zerg doesn't have any kind of micro that benefits from a slowed game speed. | ||

Laying down force fields against fast lings and microing against lings in general becomes significantly easier when you lower the game speed. However, Parting is just so darn amazing that I think it would have turned out the way it did anyway, but you never know. Nothing to be done about it. | ||

Both me and my opponent felt something was wrong pretty much as soon as the game started and figured out quite quickly that the game was on the wrong speed. From that perspective it sounds weird to me that 2 players that play this game for like 12 hours a day both didnt notice it (or didnt care). Yeah but at the same time, you and your opponent were not in the absolute most difficult group known to man. | ||

I would argue that zerg has to micro MORE than toss in an engagement. Zerg has to micro differently than other race in that they have to bring units to attack in the right position (flanking, back stab, wrap zerglings into a group of units than attack). Zerg attack is more beneficial by good positioning before hand which requires micro. Zerg units are weaker in nature and thus you have to baby sit them a lot more than protoss units (they are stronger and able to survive longer). | ||

Either way you look at it, Parting won fairly, but it's insane that this wasn't noticed. | ||

You gonna say something or chalk it up to the surreal experience? Or perhaps you just accept its a little lighter, but carry on anyway since everyone uses the same shot. | ||

you gotta be crazy if you dont think terran would have an advantage. but it's too late now, whats done is done and neither of them seemed to care during the match, so that part is fair at least. | ||

Video has been removed  .Also in terms of gamespeed... there is always one thing I disliked in SC and WC, it's the fact that game speed is mapped to a hotkey (which means you can accidentally press it). They should make it so it's not set to any key by default. Also I think (in the future) to remove any chance of these mistakes happening, Blizzard should set a "tournament settings" in the default lobby that default the speed to fastest (and unchangeable in game). Tournament settings should also have something else too (but for now, locking the speed to fastest seems to be one good reason to have it). Yes, it's silly but if it only takes like 5 minutes to remove the increase/decrease game speed hotkeys (which can be removed manually in the hotkey settings it's just it's set to -/= by default I think, which means potential for accidentally hitting) and maybe longer to add a tournament setting that locks game speed to fastest (or make a text notification anytime game speed is increased or lowered, like how when you disable sound with Ctrl + S), then it's worth the investment IMO and Blizzard should do it in an update if possible. I didn't even know you can change game speed in mutliplayer games during the actual game itself (I thought it was only possible in single player) but I guess the referee (observer with the ability to communicate to players) has the ability to change game speed in game which is interesting (and leads to possibilities of mistakes like this happening more in the future due to the fact that game speed increase and decreases are set to keys by default). On May 21 2013 02:21 Sejanus wrote: Slower game speed makes lings able to go through force fields? Yeah, speed affects races different (due to asymmetrical aspect of the game of course). Also, even if it was a mirror match up (TvT for example), then game speed may favor a player more than another. For example, if someone went bio vs someone that went mechs and was slowly moving out, the slower speed would benefit the person who went bio because it would mean (for example) if the mech player was leap frogging their tanks (unsieging and sieging), the slower speed would give more time for the bio player to react to siege tanks unsieging and then stim and a-move. That's only a mirror match example, better examples (of game speed favoring a race or unit composition over another) are in different race match ups like marines vs banelings. If the game speed was set to the slowest, almost any player would be able to micro and split their marines to take out banelings. | ||

GomTV statement, looks like it's indeed that one observer or referee accidentally reduced the game speed, expect a English version soon. | ||
