Those were the best of times.

On game 2 currently, hopeful for Light, tho if he loses it's still funny because of the years of overhyping of Light from Artosis

the quintessence of tournament enjoyment, one player pulls a perfect sucker punch when least expected. They really could make an anime out of korean bw I recently watched nal_ra's oldboy, tfw ywn be a young korean prodigy living in a team house, doing morning stretches with other pros, and playing all day on CRTs helping each other practice and get better 8-12 hours a day
>>
>>1875294
Getting carried by the most overpowered race makes their players arrogant and complacent so they get fucked when faced with real opposition. Flash is a good example of what happens when a player that is actually good decides to play Terran. Completely one-sided domination.

It's not going down well in Korea since people feel like it never addressed the core issue, which was people feeling that the intent behind crypto was to exploit fans to make money, and people also feel that this shouldn't have just been short pre-recorded stream but live Q&A.

>It's not going down well in Korea since people feel like it never addressed the core issue, which was people feeling that the intent behind crypto was to exploit fans to make money,
Yeah that was my take too.
Like mostly garnering sympathy for himself, talking about how he was scammed.

Not actually addressing the plan of how he was supposed to profit, like how he was talking about the coin on stream leading up to that 4 years ago.

Like to really address the issue, you would've needed someone who knew the details, interviewed him in person, and then grilled him.
Now he could just frame it in the best possible way for his benefit.

Gonna be fun to see him next SSL still, but it was a really shitty apology video.
Retards are gonna eat it up and just suck him off regardless of course.
Even tho his apology sucked, at least he didn't manage to scam his fans and got scammed himself instead, so that's some karma.

its kind of amazing how much dev time has been spent attempting to balance queens and all the units that interact with them
almost like queens are fundamentally bad design or something
>>
no, sc2 is perfect. thats why they keep tweaking the balance and keep fucking it up even more.
>>
queens could have launched as a lair tech unit that cost 75 gas and been balanced in WOL if their mobility had been made somewhat normal
its honestly incredible that it took somewhere around 6 years for players to realize queen spam was strong as fuck back when they had 9 anti air range and full instant heal transfuse

>>
>>1880110

Doesn't matter on the buffs needed to make Zerg Playable. Terran has so much going for it.
>>
>>1879873
its almost like when one unit handles solid anti ground, all early game anti air, unit production, creep production (and thus vision over the whole map) and defensive healing it does just a tad too much
>>
Protoss:
>change disruptor to reaver (looks cooler)
>buff tempest without nerfing it
>give dark archon
>adept glaive bounce upgrade at t3
Terran:
>remove ghost EMP (something else could cast it)
>add goliath instead of cucklon
>add spider mine
>nerf mmm somehow
>nuke destroys creep and makes it uncreepable for some time
Zerg:
>rape queen
>viper (as all other units) now have weight statistic - calculate the pull so that when it pull a heavier unit it pulls itself to it. When they're equal weight they meet halfway
>corruptor less tanky but add scourge
>remove mind control (that's a protoss thing)
How do you like my patch /vst/? I'm a balance council.
>>
These changes are very interesting actually, also consider that these are PTR changes, not the ones that will be in the actual game.

Skill battery overcharge is something I hated when it was introduced, but since then learnt to play against. Still happy to see it removed, it was quite the crutch for lower level players though, I fear many protoss will now simply crumble against midgame pressure, though I understand that's the whole point of this nerf round. The protoss buffs are warranted, I would've liked to see more of them, I guess we'll have to see if this is enough.

All the other changes are just very good in my opinion. Queen nerf is long overdue, kinda wish that unit was just never in the game to begin with, but it is the only zerg unit which shoots air and isn't ridiculously shit so we've gotta deal with it. The static defense for Zerg is dogshit, so with the queen nerf I think it's good that they got adjusted. Lower build time for Spine Crawlers is scary though, in ZvZ this could cause problems I think... The hydra dash upgrade seems useless for everyone but the highest level players. I do fear it will make catching medivacs and prisms too easy for Zerg. I disagree with the Ultralisk being able to push units around. I think players should be expected to micro their units. What's next, zerglings being able to walk under other units? To "help Zerg players across all levels"?

The terran changes are warranted, I like both the buffs and the lib nerf. Smart Servos will be too good though. I don't like damage cancelling out the bunker, it felt good from a "characterization" point of view for me, terrans being nifty and resourceful even on the offense... and it doesn't make any sense for the process to be interrupted by a zergling nibbling on the hull of a bunker.

If Sharp wins it's gonna be a slog.
If I open the next vod and it's 4 hours I might scream, but even then it'll probably be him ahead and then choke to Soulkey pulling off some masterful cheeses throwing him off.

Broodwar.

>>
>>1883704
shit vs zerg, requires barracks in the matchups where you go mech, takes forever to research all the upgrades needed to make him mediocre, dies to a gust of wind.
if you want him to lockdown carriers, you'd have either attacked the protoss before they got too many carriers or you're already be dead.
>>
>>1883704
hard to use
>>
>>1883704
if the range upgrade was researched by default, maybe he'd see 1% more play time for nukes
but honestly just too expensive overall, but if he came out with range + lockdown researched from the get go he would become a must-have unit vs terran and vs protoss
>>
>>1884195
yeah even the queen gets to have ensnare by default
>>
>>1883704
You see then VS mass carrier switches. I've seem them with cloak + ocular to nuke zerg positions as well.

It's just generally an extremely time and money-taxing unit that has no game-warping abilities. If you think about it, it's the defiler/arbiter equivalent, except its abilities are no more impactful than those of the Queen.
>>
>>1884425
if you could calldown nukes with like 14 range they would be decent desu
but the 9 range calldown is just not even remotely enough space to actually buffer against a zerg who knows where they are. the zerg can just suicide a couple lings to kill him easily

A bowl of fish playing protoss is C rank.

Macro and micro are both significantly more easy when you have fewer units to make and fewer units to control. These are major advantages at EVERY stage of the game. This does not only mean that toss is easier to play, but also that other races have to play significantly better than them when they're cheesing. Proxy gate builds just straight up kill you unless you know what you're doing, meanwhile the toss has to que a unit every half a minute and A click.

Just looking it up, a zealot takes 25 secs to make, a dragoon is 32
A vulture is 20, a marine is 15
A larva spawns every 15 seconds
Of course, the math changes in lategame when you're making tanks or lurker/defiler.

When you think about how much less effort it is for toss to spend their money, the player distribution is not surprising. The same is the case in SC2.

too bad in sc2 the toss units are just statistically awful so they fall off super large in the higher levels
zealots went from being a powerful staple at all stages of the game to a mineral shredder
and stalkers trade the ability to fight basically at all for modestly increased mobility
>>
>>1885868
>too bad in sc2 the toss units are just statistically awful so they fall off super large in the higher levels
this is simply not true. protoss is the strongest and easiest race, its top players are just awful at the game
they are extremely dominant everywhere, in ladder, minor/major tournaments, the only place where they do badly is when playing against someone like serral maru clem etc, the highest skilled players who just play better better than the toss shitters
>>
>>1885871
when you account for spell usage they are statistically awful. high level terrans can pretty easily make shields no longer a mechanic. that means toss units have somewhere in the realm of half their paper health not mattering. plus high level players can easily and efficiently counter all toss splash damage, and basic toss units get obliterated by MMM without abusing splash damage, even with shields
>>
>>1885872
there is no evidence whatsoever for toss being underpowered that isnt better explained by the 2 top toss players being less skilled than the 2-3 top players of other races
>>
>>1885872
>>1885871
as for PvZ, lategame zerg units like adrenal lings and the lurker also trash toss ground armies in straight up fights. zerg's mobility and the fact that their early game units hard counter toss gateway units means they can easily get ahead in eco and take bad fights until they just win
>>
>>1885873
EMP and widow mines are objectively superior to storm in almost every way. vikangs are basically handcrafted to kill colossi and every terran already has a reactor starport for MMM so its not even a tech switch. there's so much convenient shit going for terran while toss is left with the onus of deciding what tech to use to maybe catch the terran off guard this time is. while terran can pretty easily just copypaste builds and will always use MMM as their core composition almost no matter what protoss decides to do

>>1885877
then why is protoss massively dominant in ladder + tournaments? peoples constant claims of toss underpowered dont match up with reality

because toss has tools like blink, cheese, skytoss, and disruptors that rape low apm terrans but are useless against high apm terrans

That's very far from the truth. Zealots are still very good for the cost, they've been nerfed multiple times because of how strong they were compared to how cheap they are, but they still pack a punch. Zealot runby-s take 0 attention and are very powerful. As are warp prism backstabs. In straight-up engagements they do get gunned down like any other melee unit, but if you think they're bad for their cost, you're out of your mind.

Stalkers do have very little strenght, I agree, but nobody competent uses them as a core of their army. Immortals, Archons, Colossi, Disruptors, Templar are huge damage dealers, they are very impactful units for their cost.

The real problem for Protoss is how little the difference is between the absolute minimum and the absolute maximum of unit control, plus their ridiculous amount of spellcasting micro. Terran and to a lesser extent Zerg can have very complex armies that benefit a lot from proper unit control (mainly against splash damage) whereas Protoss units are about as good when you micro them as they are when you A+click
>>
>>1885871
This is not true. You can't convince me that in the past 15 years the only man good enough at the game to choose to play protoss was Zest and Maxpax. I agree with the general sentiment that Protoss players are bad at the game, but you can look at other pros too, like Dark for example, he's an insanely good player who constantly makes big mistakes too, yet he's winning tourneys while protoss players are torn asunder by any of the top level pros.

Are you retarded? Archons one shot them, Colossus and storm rips them too, even zealots trade well enough unless they're surrounded

Also, pro tip: you're not supposed to walk into units such as lurkers and siege tanks

>the fact that their early game units hard counter toss gateway units
You're actually retarded, aren't you? Every single PvZ opener is stargate, save for a glaive all-in every now and then. Zerg can't bust protoss early on account of them not having a single unit that shoots air. You'd know this if you actually played the game btw.
>>
>>1886050
zealots are awful in straight up engagements vs terran
immortals are good, until the terran is good enough to cast EMP. then ghosts and marauders evaporate them with instant shield bust + massive dps against armored
archons ditto
colossi are pretty good, but a handful of vikings counters them pretty handily and they are absurdly expensive for the relatively low dps burst dps they do
disruptors and templar both get little to nothing done against pro-level micro. disruptors often get literally zero good hits for entire games and templar do superficial damage since the terran can just run back under medivacs for 5 seconds to fully heal
nothing toss has can really put the screws in on terran the way 100 supply of stimmed marauders and ghosts can obliterate the toss ground army. toss relies on harassment, cheese, and early game micro battles to establish an advantage they can convert into a raw eco lead (which is difficult considering how mules can make a given number of bases upwards of 25% more productive). pound for pound they lose every time
>>
>>1886059
btw i do acknowledge that perfectly dodging storms and disruptor shots every time is not within the realm of possibility for 99% of players
but i can only imagine how frustrating it must be for all of your kill options to basically become weak zoning tools just because your opponent passed an apm threshold. meanwhile liberators and tanks hit like a truck and require zero micro
>>
>>1886059
Your post has merit to it but only if we're looking at the top 0.1% of games being played. I don't think balance patches are going to be able to fix Clem microing MMM with 800 APM to avoid every single AOE the protoss has access to.

The game is terran favored, but only at the tippity top, and given how much harder terran is to play, I don't feel like protoss players are robbed of anything.

I remember so many major tourneys where a toss would get to the Ro4 and then play like shit, it makes it hard for me to feel bad for Tosses being underrepresented in tourney wins.

Despite all that, I still think Protoss needs help against terran, mainly in the form of another EMP nerf. I also think the disruptor radius buff is a very good change
>>
>>1886066
Tanks are a siege unit and they're very cool, so I think they're fine a they are. Liberators can go burn for all I care. Now THAT is a fucking absurd unit in PvT, protoss often has to que and then wait for a new stargate unit to build so that they can clear libs with range, it's absurd and the P has no counterplay. They should just nerf Advanced Ballistics again. Also, does anyone remember that time when they made Liberators cost 25 less gas? Why? It's an all rounder that Terran mass produces in every matchup...
>>
>>1886068
I dont really think MMM is harder to play than storm-colossus-disruptor-zealot-stalker-immortal tbqh
handling lots of tanks and liberators is mildly difficult but the terran is aptly rewarded with strong zoning/killing power
the toss has to micro at least blink and potentially 1 of 2 splash spellcasters, with an army that is both worse in a straight up fight and lower mobility than a giant marauder wrecking ball.

recently maxpax 3-0'd clem in a tournament and 2 of those wins were basically 4 gate while the other was 4 gate into dark templar. its honestly comical
>>
>>1886071
>I dont really think MMM is harder to play than storm-colossus-disruptor-zealot-stalker-immortal tbqh
I offrace as Toss and while disruptor micro is beyond my skillset, the rest is easy, and I don't say this to brag.

Set up a concave
Activate sentry shield
Select your templar, press T and left click
Move command your colossi back when the vikings pounce
Kite backwards as needed
Blink micro as needed

This isn't hard as compared to splitting MMM or leapfrogging tanks in my opinion.
On a related note, they should give the Sentry more range so that it doesn't always die 2 seconds into the engagement.

I'll check out the maxpax vs clem game, sounds radical

ok check it.
we pay the protoss players a dividend from all tournament cash prizes. The game is fundamentally badly designed so the least we can do is make up the difference financially instead of the developer fixing the game.
Next step is BW. I believe terran ladder players should receive a small % of ELO points from every protoss and zerg victory in a ladder season. It's only fair. Statistically. Let me know what you think in the comments.
No I will not give you any of my twitch ad revenue even though you're also on twitch and struggling, that's not the same thing.

WOW! BW is perfectly balanced1!!!

if you insist on using made up numbers why dont you add chinese viewership of both games

Does BW have a skeleton crew to implement balance changes?
>>
>>1887895
You're whataboutisming isn't even true if you think they haven't been changing shit
The maps of today are incredibly different from the maps of many seasons
>Random gold patches
>Mineral patches as walls
>Reaper design
>Liberator/medivac/warp prism spacing
>Collapsible rocks
>Observation pillars
These maps change alot
>>
>>1888377
NTA and also checked, but the games I play and see being played are scarcely affected by the map differences. The last map I remember that was strange enough to make matches different was Golden Wall. Maps in SC2 might influence engagements, but not unit compositions.

>sharp just standing around in the middle game1
classic. no idea why terran hasnt learned that soulkey does this nearly every game. zerg op.
>>
>sharp has thyroid cancer
>>
save us flash

game2 proves sharp is smarter but zerg is just OP lmao

game3 sharp almost throwing the entire game away. whats with terrans throwing against soulkey all the time?

They all know Soulkey's family really needs that money. It's just a charade.
>>
>>1888659
is this wrestling?

kek. sharp throwing the opener in game4 with those vultures.

expected sharp to lose vs soulkey due to zerg being op, but he certainly couldnt get out of his own way during the matches.

can i realistically get into this series as a complete beginner? i have no rts experience, but the competitive aspect has always intrigued me. should i learn brood war or sc2?
>>
>>1889915
learn sc2 first since its easier, if you get really into it try bw
>>
We won
>>
>>1889915
realistically you're 20 years behind everyone else
you will be playing only with people who have been playing for 20 years
you can get into the series but if you expect to do well in multiplayer, be ready to invest 2+ years of your time to grind into diamond league. But you will probably drop it way sooner when you realize competitive MP is about split second perfect micro decisions that either delete your army in a second, or end up with you deleting the enemy army in a second
BW is a better strategy game with high ground advantage and every unit having a purpose, SC2 is a gimmicky strategy game full of extremely situational gimmicky units that become useless as the game progresses past 5 minute mark.
Also SC2 got rid of early game and you start with 12 workers immediately because of some retarded ridiculous notion of "early game is boring", then they proceeded to make every tournament a bo12 so the gooks just sit in the booth and play like 9 boring ass same-y matches with nothing exciting happening and the audience wishing for it to be over already

Just play battle aces lil bro

nice argument troon

play sc2 protoss and you'll be fine its impossible to get into broodwar

If anon realistically minimizes float to [until he's at 200 supply] anon is probably a step up above genuine bad players who learn shitty gimmicks rather than important fundamentals in their 100's of games
>>
They should just remove the disruptor and replace it with the reaver
>>
>>1890247
A lot of SC2 units are just poor man's versions of BW units, you can count how many actually feel like something that doesn't cover a replaced BW unit's niche on one hand
>>
>>1890250
>A replaced bw units niche
What was the niche of the Goliath? Other than bigger faster marine with no stim
>>
>>1890255
Long range AA
The Cyclone is just a gayer version of the Goliath
>>
Really SC2 only has 4 good new unit additions:
>Marauder
>Oracle
>Sentry
>Roach
>>
>>1890261
You don't like the immortal?
>>
i think the medivac is good too.
>>
>>1890257
>Long range aa
By that logic (not saying you're wrong, as I've heard this sentiment before) the Goliath didn't get replaced
It's just that terrans got both the cyclone, the thor, and the viking
This is hilarious to me, since, as spamming goliaths in the pve game modes shows, a small and compact but mobile unit like the Goliath still outperforms all 3 in its role
>>
>>1890267
I don't like the modern incarnation of it
>>1890268
Medivac is too much utility imo.
Medics and Dropships should have stayed separate
>>
>>1890274
They recently received a hefty nerf, but I have seen recent games where a pack of them just pops shit when there aren't marines or zergling to address them
>>
>>1890274
>Can carry 400 minerals worth of marines
>Dedicated tech for more energy
>Can scout and incidentally bait a response
>Can heal
And to think it used to be able to do that bullshit siege tank tech
>>
>>1890275
I just think hardened shields made them a much more interesting to use than barrier does
>>1890277
>And to think it used to be able to do that bullshit siege tank tech
Oh god don't remind me.
>>
>>1890261
I fucking hate roaches, boring fuck unit that didn't need to exist when they could have just kept hydras at tier 1. Actually I don't think I like any of the changes they made to zerg in SC2, probably why I didn't stick with the game.
>>
primordial balance slop recreating sc2
>>
>>1890255
>What was the niche of the Goliath? Other than bigger faster marine with no stim
uhh... it's the only ground AA counter unit for terran? Did you even play the game?
>>
>>1890273
>the Goliath didn't get replaced
>It's just that it got replaced by the cyclone, the thor, and the viking
>>
>>1890724
Marines are better at AA though. There's a reason why it's hard to go mech and requires specific transitions against Zerg where AA is necessary to be able to move around the map.
>>
>>1890726
>the Goliath didn't get replaced
>it just got split into 3 units that all have some retarded gimmick
>>
>>1890728
where'd you come up with these wildly wrong theories? Skirmish with AI?
>he counters carriers with marines
you can mech against zerg too with great success, this isn't 2001 anymore
>AA is necessary to be able to move around the map
it really isnt unless youre implying zerg cant do anything but go mass muta, in which case valkyries do a much better job than marines
>>
>>1890724
Yeah but going into sc2 the 12 unit cap would have been removed and flying your mutalisk into a tight pack marines would have been instant death, which it is
>>
>>1890726
Right
It didn't get replaced
Tell me either of those units is the catchall "well I better build this unit" that the Goliath is
>Build vikings into a ground comp
Get fucked
>Build thors in any capacity
Slow as shit and mid-lategame economical investment
>Build cyclones
Fairly micro intensive and requires vision
>>
>>1890731
You do understand that marines are a real counter to a very fast carrier rush, and the reason you don't use them later against carriers is not carriers themselves but the other Protoss units that hard-counter marines?
>you can mech against zerg too with great success, this isn't 2001 anymore
You can, but you need a specific build and a transition. Something like the Goliath build is less popular than just going marines for a reason.
>it really isnt unless youre implying zerg cant do anything but go mass muta
Zergs will go muta in like 90% of TvZ matches. They don't have to go mass muta, just a basic muta opener will force you to make some form of anti-air unit.
>>
>>1890733
>flying your mutalisk into a tight pack marines would have been instant death, which it is
which is why mutalisks never fly into tight packs of marines, mutalisks pick off marines 1 by 1 with sniper shots out of marine range... unless youre playing against AI and mutalisks just fly head first into marines in packs of 3
>>
>>1890737
>You do understand that marines are a real counter to a very fast carrier rush, and the reason you don't use them later against carriers is not carriers themselves but the other Protoss units that hard-counter marines?
yes, you don't make marines against protoss as a rule, that's literally what I implied.
>>
>>1890738
Strictly in sc2
>The pace of the game is fast and you can easily drift into range
>Stim makes marines fast, further compounding the previous issue
>Scans, mines, towers, all can see you
Literally 1-2 people find success with the mutalisk in sc2 professional, and that's because literally only 2 people have good macro to back up the perfect micro needed to not flush 100/100 min/gas mutalisks down a toilet
>>
>>1890735
holy autism, you're just arguing semantics for no reason
goliath got replaced by shitty gimmicky units, the definition of "replacement" isn't "with exactly the same thing that looks exactly the same and does exactly the same and costs exactly the same and functions exactly the same"
>>
>>1890740
With the addendum being the toilet is a pack of wantonly stimmrd marines that will delete a mutalisk pack before they get into their remarkably short attack range
>>
>>1890740
im talking about BW all the time, I dont give a shit about SC2
>>
>>1890741
The closer replacement is ghosts though
>What is a unit you won't be punished for buying more of
>A unit that thrashes zerg and protoss, ground or air
It's the fucking ghost
Even the hellbat is a direct comparison to the firebat in terms of role
Even the thor compares favorably somewhat to the Valkyrie
It's not semantic
It's just that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about since you only seem to be familiar with the broodwar
>>
>>1890744
Then why the fuck are you talking with me about "the equivalent to the Goliath" in sc2
Moron
>>
>>1890746
jesus christ please bring back poster IDs I don't fucking know who's talking to who anymore. I thought you were the one providing the list of 3 units that "didn't replace" goliath
