Starport added on to a Reactor for StC, Factory on tech lab.
Banshee from Stc moving towards natural again.
Drop from Stc going into the main of Byun!
The drop is spotted and taken out, but the Banshee still kills multiple SCVs. Repair micro from Byun saves him from losing more. Banshee falls.

Instead Z and P seem very focused on control prevention with FF and FG. It indeed feels lame and unsatisfying. Anyway, really great game. I didn't expect TheStC to make that small comeback and threaten Byun, I also didn't expect Byun to be able to break him from there, cool game overall. Agree with you guys 100%. Atleast you can dodge storm. I'm okay with some control prevention in the game but it's too much. And FF and FG are too deeply rooted into the races. It just makes for very unsatisfying fights. So now, after we have all agreed on what the problem is, how do we fix it? Blizz can't just take out FF or FG in HotS. Personally I would hope for a change to fungal to slow down units instead of completely locking them down. Another possibility for Blizz is to give both Zerg and Toss other units which are more micro rewarding and more attractive to use then Infestors for example. Any other ideas? And please don't say stuff like "remove Infestors" or "remove sentries" because that's never gonna happen.
I'm not really sure about zerg, I have some ideas for them, but I do have a lot of suggestions regarding how to fix Toss design. Of course it would require an expansion to make it work, since there are some big changes needed.
Edit: Nice game from TheStC, harass from the beginning, edging a lead to go into the mid game then caught Byun out of position, not very spectacular, but overall clean game plan.

Still no mech TvT victories.

I always wanted fungal to slow units to a point where they get stunned at the end of the duration for a few seconds. I.e you can try to split to minimize the damage instead of being clumped up.

Or, fungal slows for the duration but, if you move your units, the slow dissipates over time, if you don't move your units the slow becomes progressively worst until it becomes a root for the last 1 second.

The problem with this change is that Terran gets even more rewarded for better micro while Zerg can still only throw down fungals and a-move. How do we give Zerg micro capabilities?

They're also introducing that viper thing in Hots which greatly reduces the range of the terran units, or something. So it will be even worse over there.
I actually kind of like that because there is no root. Since the units can still be moved, they can be controlled around the spell. That spell will just eliminate the bonus of clumping - units in the back will be unable to contribute. So, splitting and good control will be the counter to that spell. Of course, combined with fungals...

I think fungals should not root, but maybe disable spells instead. So, marines can still be microed but you have to do it without stim and tanks could move only if they are unseiged. I feel like that would still be a powerful spell.
Force fields could function like dark swarm from Brood War or the bubble shield from Halo. A force field would be cast on zealots or in front of tanks to force units to fight zealots in melee range. Zealots with force fields would still be effective area control, as nothing should be more cost effective in melee range than zealots, but then the spell would not prevent micro or control, either.
Graviton beam could be an AoE spell that simply lets phoenix attack anything in the field, but things can move out of the field.
Concussive shells can just go away. Honestly, I think marauders need to be changed a bit. Less range in order to force them to be microed to the front and damage reduction to make them more about meat shield and less about kill everything. I say give the role of vs. armored DPS to the reaper - make D-8 charge their only attack and drop the damage in line with what marauders are now. This would add another level of control and variety to bio.
Eh, I don't know, I have a lot of silly little ideas like this that I think would make the game better.

That is about as backwards an idea as I can imagine. Brood War TvZ with defilers & lurkers against science vessels & bio is a good example of control vs control as opposed to SC2's control vs control-prevention. You know what I mean? Very well said. Not talking about balance, but strictly design, all races should have micro and control opportunities to the level of where it indeed becomes control vs control. Instead Z and P seem very focused on control prevention with FF and FG. It indeed feels lame and unsatisfying. Anyway, really great game. I didn't expect TheStC to make that small comeback and threaten Byun, I also didn't expect Byun to be able to break him from there, cool game overall. Agree with you guys 100%. Atleast you can dodge storm. I'm okay with some control prevention in the game but it's too much. And FF and FG are too deeply rooted into the races. It just makes for very unsatisfying fights. So now, after we have all agreed on what the problem is, how do we fix it? Blizz can't just take out FF or FG in HotS. Personally I would hope for a change to fungal to slow down units instead of completely locking them down. Another possibility for Blizz is to give both Zerg and Toss other units which are more micro rewarding and more attractive to use then Infestors for example. Any other ideas? And please don't say stuff like "remove Infestors" or "remove sentries" because that's never gonna happen. I always wanted fungal to slow units to a point where they get stunned at the end of the duration for a few seconds. I.e you can try to split to minimize the damage instead of being clumped up. The problem with this change is that Terran gets even more rewarded for better micro while Zerg can still only throw down fungals and a-move. How do we give Zerg micro capabilities?
OR, you could make ghosts to throw 3-4 emps to completely nullify infestors?

ByunPrime v TheStC
1 - 1Maps:Dual Sight - ByunPrimeDaybreak - TheStCCloud Kingdom05.00ByunPrime is spawning as the red Terran in the 1 o'clock position. TheStC is spawning as the blue Terran in the 7 o'clock position. Both players walling off with a 12-rax. 1 rax expand for both players, Byun a bit ahead, skipping the supply depot. Double gas for Byun. Really quick third CC for StC! Factory on the way for Byun. Three marines from StC tries to pressure, but is pushed back. Double rax added on for Stc.

I love that TheStC is putting on light marine pressure while doing this greedy build. Going to keep Byun pinned back a bit.
