When all the pressure is on one side to attack, because they inevitably lose in the late game because of game design, of course they are going to make more "mistakes" when attacking due to the defender's advantage. | ||

It's one ofthose times of Maru outside GSL and MAru in the group stages. True, at the same time I feel Maru had enough time to prepare to at least advance in second . I want one of the two Terran to advance from this group, it's bad for the game if there's zero terran representation in the ro8 | ||

All Zerg has to do is survive to lategame. Eh I don't agree. That build obviously gambles quite a bit on whether the zerg opens with overlord speed, but it's not an insta-loss if scouted either. Serral just reacted well and defended well enough. | ||

That's true for macro nydus, but these nydus allins aren't forgiving at all and it's very hard to win if your first nydus doesn't get up. While I think these allins are pretty stupid, you won't find many players who think they are imbalanced, especially after the armor nerf | ||

The Kings of old are brought out in recognition for the largest RTS event in a decade: Cheeseadelphia 100. Kevin van der Kool is coaxed out of his position in the front office at Feynoord to give it one more ride, for old times' sake. And good thing, too, as magic happens. While so many legends have faded, their muscles succumbing to the natural progression of age, it's like these two haven't missed a beat. Neeb watches on in amazement as his daughter is out-microed time and again. Round after round, it seems impossible, but it's happening. The bracket doesn't lie: The Grand Finals will be the match decades in the making. As the map vetoes conclude, Maru and Serral shake hands, and take their stations. They join the lobby, the admin signals to start...and nothing happens. The screen goes black. Frenzied calls are made to Activision HQ. Minutes turn to hours attempting to determine what has occurred. Finally, an old man steps onto the stage to announce that the final remaining operational Starcraft server has, like so much else, succumbed to the ravages of climate change. The tournament is over. RTS is officially dead. | ||

All Zerg has to do is survive to lategame. Game 3 was not a balance issue. He decides to do a build which wasn't a real allin but rather a smaller commitment. If he kills 11 workers without actually losing 11 himself, that is alright. You could clearly tell that Protoss timing was still hard hitting and he was insanely far behind. In every match, you can pinpoint errors. I think nydus/swarmhost and bl/infestors are really an issue even if the Protoss is a) better and b) playing near perfect. Not saying Serral is worse per se, but I don't think Stats could have taken the main fights on acropolis a lot better and it wasnt close. Smaller stuff he can fix is not leaving nydus, not losing so many probes to harassment etc. G3 was him not walling. | ||

At the same time we can ask if Stast would have goner for such build with a better balance situation, which is one of the things people here are saying. While it is not a blance issue game, it still is | ||

If a race is imbalanced its imbalanced as a whole, it can't be balanced in one game and imbalanced in another. Phrase it however you want. Maybe you prefer: "this game did not reflect any particular imbalances in the game". | ||
