Yeah, played a few more games and it's really hard to judge how well are you doing since I seem to be able to kill people just thanks to my knowledge of BW builds. Maxed out armies are really clunky to use and the new protoss chrono boost and recall are weird, you have to upgrade for it and it feels like it's not doing much. Will have to play around with the recall a bit more and the new stargate unit is "...what?" Feels like a unit that was supposed to fill a million roles, but when you are competing against templars with storm ... Which is every single bit as OP as you remember.

Feel like my mechanics are slowly returning. At least today on the ladder I steam raped.

WCS begins in full today! Get hypeeee!

And Sid as much as it pains me I think Hab Station may be producing the best matches so far of any map I've seen. Have you gotten any feedback about possible changes so you can't 3 bunker wall the ramp TvZ if you proxy rax?

A compliment! From Tenks? Whaaaaaaaaaa?

It's funny because not that many people are complaining to me about the 3 bunker wall-off. Probably just because it hasn't been done since...umm...Cloud Kingdom I guess? Heaven forbid the zerg actually has to scout his natural. Heck, I even made the natural smaller just because of how big the main is, so it really shouldn't be hard to scout it and place a drone or pull multiple drones early.

I've seen it done twice I believe. Last night during some team league Jjakji did it half heartedly against Nerchio. He didn't really wall it though just built two bunkers. Then I saw another match (avilo I think) complete the full wall.

Yeah, I saw those games as well. There was some WCS game I watched, pretty sure it had Kane in it vs some terran and he got bunker walled but held it perfectly. So I mean, even if it goes down you can still defend it, but I also feel like you can easily deny the full wall-off by pulling drones early if needed. The natural is so close to the ramp anyway that you won't lose too much mining time since you can just transfer those drones right to the natural when it pops.

Also, I haven't gotten the actual win %'s yet but I'm told it's a zerg favored map. So fuck zerg. :p

Yeah they may just have to do the old trick where you patrol a drone there so it doesn't happen. Every time I've seen it happen is when the Zerg decides to scout with their second OL instead of parking it over the natural.

I think it'll just take zergs a little bit to get use to again. There really hasn't been that many good bunker rush maps recently since everything has just been massive free 3 base maps.

I was sad though, I was hoping to see flash play on the map in Code A but he never did and now he dropped out. Innovation plays tonight though, I'm getting excited. As much as I love watching it played in these WCS NA and EU games, most of the time I only know 1 of the 2 players that's it's kinda...meh. Really hard to get super excited when it's like Scarlett vs RandomNA#2.

Man have you been watching ProLeague? The Starbow people who claim SC2 is just a 200 vs 200 ball slam may be right for the jokers league WCS NA/EU but ProLeague is absolutely nuts this season. Especially modern TvT and TvZ.

I've been following some of the proleague games. Mainly every Maru game. His TvP is so fun to watch because it's aggression from MMM, drops and constant parades lol. Just recently that Fantasy vs...True I think it was, like 50 supply vs 50 supply 40 minutes in haha. Yeah the games have been really great to watch this season.

I use to not like to watch TvP that much but I think since it does feel like terran is the underdog in the match it has been interesting to see strategies that terrans have been doing to win against protoss. Wasn't it someone in proleague tried TvP Mech? (Or maybe that was wcs)

There has been sprinkles of mech TvP in ProLeague. But it is extremely map dependent. And still not very good. Mainly relies on 99/100 TvPs the Protoss plays will be vs bio so they just go into cruise control and mis-read and get 100+ supply of mech in their face against blink stalker/templar.

Watched odd PL game here and there and they have been pretty good, I'm not sure if it's because I haven't really watched any SC2 in a month or what but the game might nt be quite dead

The reddit faggot 'dead gaem lol' crowd is because WCS finished and there was a lull in major tournaments. This basically happens every off season because for some reason people on the internet think if they repeat the same thing over and over it gets funnier and funnier. There was still ProLeague and tons of lesser tournaments to consume during the downtime.

It was an Oracle ability that was supposed to be indirect harass. Basically it would put a bubble of your mineral patches that you had to kill. Instead they made it so Oracles move faster than an F1 car and kill workers by farting on them.
