there playing on modded maps that fix the bug, from what im seeing in chat. funny, they can fix everything for the pros in a tourney but little ol us, they just go squat and take a dump on. Gotta love blizzard.

someone flagged my post so i was suspended temporarily and you know who would do it

they exacerbated the decline of this game and intend to censor every speech that does not praise them

i wonder whether blizzard delegating the pros to balance the game and purposefully ignore the normal players (especially ladder players) is an act of breach of contract.

your thinking about stormgate, and should go back to complaining to them, cause your absolutely wrong about everything you said. theres litterally hundreds of post all over this forum talking negative on blizzard and the game, unlike stormgate where you get banned for critizing anything.

Flawless proxy 3 rax defense by the goat

You know, I keep seeing Terran players with Hellbats/Thors attempt to run away with them as though they were bio units; and I think that is a mistake. Those units are so slow that it seems like it would be better to pick them up in Medivacs or let them stand and fight as the Bio retreats.

I guess it depends on if the hellbat is even worth the cargo space at the point in the game where the terran is tank pushing a 4 base Zerg. It’s probably better to just pick up marauders/marines or tanks and let the hellbats fend for themselves

Last few minutes were questionable for Ryung there. Dropped a ghost academy then proceeded to not use any.

If they aren’t worth the cargo space, let them die killing 5 or so units instead of running away just to die and accomplish nothing. That would even give the Bio units a better chance at retreating.

Might be a bit of F2 syndrome or something haha

Maru vs Ryung

Gumiho vs Heromarine

Clem vs Nightmare

Serral vs Spirit

So predicting Maru, Gumiho, Clem and Serral, which would probably be surprising to exactly nobody :smiley:

Not sure who would have been a less scary opponent for anybody hoping for a Protoss to advance, when his other possibly opponents were Serral and Maru lol

Balance counsel: heavily nerfs terran.

Apart from the Cyclone, most of these are late-game nerfs, so they probably wouldn’t have an impact on shorter games.

Of course not batzy, because we know game is balanced for bronze players and not pro players.

Tbf, of all the players that competed, there were only two real upsets (Spirit over Showtime, and the big one being Heromarine over Reynor). Other than that, the players that advanced were the ones you would have expected to.

‘terran has drawn the shortest in the patch’, 6 out of 8 first tournament is funny then.
let’s see how it goes in the next tournaments/ cups.

What is this game 3…
Mech v Mech is so dumb.
