What a world this would be if this entire thread had as much quality discussion as most of this page does.. one can only dream.
there is pretty much no discussion anymore,on these forums, everything is now one sided towards ur side btw congratulations
And yet still FA insists on closing my threads.
I understand the thread took a turn off topic but that doesn't mean the OP/first few pages didn't deserve a few more days of exposure before it died off naturally...
It didn't actually bother me until I just typed that up..
Oh shit I just took this thread off topic too! Better close it!

That thread had moved on from discussion to insults :[

Only because people felt strongly about the content, which is itself indicative that it deserved more exposure.. The thread was up for less than 2 days.. not everyone I would hope to have been able to reach checks TL that often.. You could have at least just thrown it into blogs.

okay seriously I gained new hope as SC2 being a great Esport game
just wish unit respond time and animation was faster.
edit: wtb vultures pst.

Can't wait for a PvZ and TvZ version of this.
The game looked alright, although Im gonna miss the precise micro required like using scv's to defend etc. Everything just moves around so ... smoothly.

its so awkward not to see tanks vs protoss lol.

I disliked how a mass marauder with new vults backup was too strong for a toss with expos but who couldn't find a counter for them =/

Keep in mind the toss was on 3 gates the whole game.

Yeah and the game was played by employees, after a month of online play the matchup will probably look incredibly different.

toss with expos... and only three gateways. Think about it, closer to the end of the game he had as many expands as he had gateways.
I think that's a reason why he couldn't find a counter lol

They better show ep2...

Fun game, although I wish the protoss had made better unit decisions. Making colossus against anti-armor units like the marauder was a waste of money. Starcraft 2 is looking great though, and I can't wait for the next BR.

When will battle report #2 be revealed!?

Seeing as they put all that work into the fancy downloader I'm sure we will see more Battle Reports, I hope

That downloader has been used for a long time, for many Blizzard products.

It was invented for wow to distribute content and have been used for all of their bigger downloads since. It is basically just a special kind of torrent client that also lets you download directly from their own servers at the same time as you got p2p downloads, and if you want you can use some other torrent client for the same downloads.
Anyway, distributing such episodes shouldn't take that much time and is a great way to show off the game so I think that we will see more, especially since it was labelled episode 1.

Terran went for a much earlier expo so he had more money most of the game, and protoss wasted a ton on the colossi. Also since marauders + hellions have no AA and is later tech than zealot + stalker it is not dumb that they beat it, however since we did not see the whole protoss arsenal being used it could very well be so that if the toss use some other units they would beat the terrans on ground unless the terrans used siegetanks just as before.
For example toss should have used immortals since they counter both the marauders and the hellions, forcing terrans to go for marines which gets countered by colossi/templars etc.

And the video they showed at Blizzcon (TvZ between David Kim and someone) was essentially the same thing as this, I think it will be one of the episodes since they didn't release it in any form yet.

Also the argument that the abilities in SC2 that let you concentrate on micro kind of doesn't hold up in this vid as the players kinda sucked.
