I'm not the only one that think it's still odd that players and teams don't stipulate certain desk and chair heights in order to play when it comes down to risking short and long term injury, right? | ||

C'mon, for being the "Global standard" for "the most competitive 1v1 game" you'd think they'd have the best set-up available to players. Moving desks would break up the studio set up. This is the big problem when the television comes in place. On April 15 2021 12:57 blunderfulguy wrote: I hope height adjustable desks become standard for offline games. We're so overdue for that, SC2 is almost entirely a 1v1 game and we've known about this stuff for sooo long. Or higher standards for chairs, or just having a few extra chairs around that can be adjusted a little bit higher, something. I'm not the only one that think it's still odd that players and teams don't stipulate certain desk and chair heights in order to play when it comes down to risking short and long term injury, right? Uh, you realize that the gaming chairs are actually worse than the best ergonomic office chairs? But hey, I would love to see gamers playing on the best ergonomy as well, so maybe they will change that. | ||

Some accommodation is still in order, it’s a pretty minor issue to resolve. Given Byun doesn’t seem to have these issues as badly on his own setup, at least give the option to replicate that. Ultimately it was only through discussions on Byun’s issues I even found out the GSL wasn’t really doing this, which was a genuine surprise not just in terms of injuries and comfort. Players already have that psychological pressure of being in the booth, within reason they should be able to mirror their preferred setups in order to deliver the best gameplay they’re able to. Aside from that if accommodations have been made and you can’t smoothly make it through a day’s play, then you’re like any other sports star who is carrying an injury and not fit to play. | ||

Keep in mind that these players are operating at peak performance with insanely high APMs for long periods. It's not surprising that a hastily assembled chair/desk setup wouldn't be suitable for some of them. In my opinion GSL should provide a playing environment that can sustain the level of effort the players put out. GSL would not be as prestigious if Byun were excluded because its physical setup is a health hazard for him. Scarlett has mentioned some of the problems with the GSL environment in an earlier post: https://tl.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/571101-gsl-2021-code-a-day-two?page=3#46 | ||

Banelings interactions with marines force terran to be constantly micro-ing their army to avoid an accident (in game...). While i think Blizzard have done a great design work with these units which are the core of SC but now i know how avoid this kind of limit : Idea : Banelings won t burst anymore but do damage over time 1) counter against too many medivacs, medivacs now heal with aoe (maximum three units at the same time) and slow down the corrosive acid damage of banelings 2) banelings are bigger, their supply cost equal to 1 and they are a bit tanky 3) acid will mainly hurt biological unit then if you bought too many banelings you won t benefit from an almighty burst.  BONUS : Banelings can be thrown by spore crawlers ! | ||
