That and the Carrier. If only it were that simple Maybe I just live in a shell, but I stopped watching a lot of SC2 when TvZ became what it is now.

A lot of what you said is outdated, TvP has changed in subtle but important ways with more emphasis on ghost Viking and even the occasional hellbat transition, and really swarm hosts aren't massed anymore. And idk about you but TvZ is fucking amazing. I feel like subtle changes aren't enough to make TvP interesting. And I want you to watch this. I was so excited during this game that I was banned on TL for saying stupid things in the LR thread. The only time I've been banned on TL too. Please, tell me that current TvZ comes even close to this glory: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlxkyo_mlg-orlando-2011-starcraft-ii-game-1-2-3-eg-idra-z-vs-st-bomber-t-part-1-2_videogames?search_algo=2
Bomber vs Idra? Really?
Dream vs Scarlett on Red City alone was way better than any of those games. There were probably even several from 2012 ZvTs that were cooler.

lol. While you make a valid although sarcastic point, I have to say that I have to agree with Bronzeknee. I enjoyed the HoTS TvZ with biomine because it was new, unique, exciting etc... but seeing Polt 4-0 Jaedong, Innovation wiping the floor with majority of zerg using the same strat led me to start hating it. It feels really abusive. At least in the old days of MMT, it was more about skill but now you are banking on luck as well and if you keep pushing a Zerg using biomine, they are bound to slip up eventually and give in. It just doesn't feel right and isn't as exciting to watch anymore.

SC2 killing Korean e-sports.

While I can agree with how abusive everything is, and looks and realistically there's probably some imbalance in it. TvZ with tanks was just painful. You lose a group of tanks on creep? That sucks for you, you've basically just lost the game right there. There was no good way to reproduce it and while Broodlord/Infestor was the ultimate problem at the end of WoL, a huge problem was the fact with the 6 queen opening, Zergs were able to get creep out super far, basically delaying any sort of push from the Terran that didn't want to gamble.

thing is, you can always get two factories, double tank production or even tank+mine production with MM as support. The mines can protect the tanks from surrounds as long as the marines prevent zerglings from setting them off etc... It's doesn't have to be only biomine TvZ like we're seeing for most TvZs. It just gets old really fast

Hopefully sc2bw will swoop in and save the scene. Watched a match recently and it was 100x more entertaiming than any sc2 game ive seen lately. Im high.

Yeah, you clearly haven't watched the game in a long time. And even then you apparently weren't watching much. -_-

Can someone explain to me what happened lol? :D Supernovamaniac(the guy who was not well liked as a caster), apparently translated a bunch of rumors about stuff that MIGHT happen because Ethan_ahn wrote that a cataclysm or something was happening in SC2. Everyone freaked out for like the 30th time in the last 3 or 4 months about how SC2 was going to die at least in Korea. Then, half of the original rumors have been debunked or turned out to be basically non-issues. So just another normal day here in the SC2 community.
That seems like a good summation to me. So a whole bunch of new players came into the SC2 scene. Some adapted, some have not, some look like they are not inclined to even really try (either because the game is not for them or they don't have the willingness to learn). Meanwhile some sponsors pull sticks because they have financial trouble, and because LOL is more attractive to many Koreans at the moment. While old BW fans indulge in fantasies that old players will return to BW and that BW will (somehow) return to its former glory because SC2 is apparently a shit game that is fundamentally flawed in design.
So, yeah, another normal day (more or less) in the SC2 community.

I still maintain that it was the best series TvZ I've watched. I just re-watched it, and the game was so dynamic back then. So interesting.
I should probably note that they are two of my favorite players too... so I'm a bit biased. But the games were still awesome, so much more exciting than the TvZ games of today.

Fair enough. It was a good series. But, for me, I don't see it as more exciting than comparable TvZ games of today. I just re-watched g1. It was good to see Bomber's monster macro and mass Marines until Idra's Infestors and insta-fungal. I think some of the excitement might be from the fact that it was 2011 and there was a lot of E-Sports/SC2 hype at that time.
