Starcraft 2 HOTS v1 Megathread - Kerrigan is coming (USE SPOILERS TILL 28.3.2013) - Games

I'm actually happy with the balance at the moment. I feel like the game just needs a little tweaking, but it's not hugely imbalanced as of now IMO :D

[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;39949262]- SmugUK (Terran)[/QUOTE] well look at the top 3 from mlg, it's a terran, a zerg, and a protoss balance isn't really leaning one way or another

[QUOTE=SystemGS;39948754]life is going to be playing against mc in the next semifinal, but he doesn't stand a chance[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;39948767]Nope, not at all. MC is a wrecking ball[/QUOTE] hahah

[QUOTE=SystemGS;39949573]well look at the top 3 from mlg, it's a terran, a zerg, and a protoss balance isn't really leaning one way or another[/QUOTE] Yeah, just kidding around. We'll have to wait and see how other tournaments turn out.

[QUOTE=SystemGS;39949573]well look at the top 3 from mlg, it's a terran, a zerg, and a protoss balance isn't really leaning one way or another[/QUOTE] Can we just wait until GSL 2 before we start commentating on balance, Koreans bopping foreigners is hardly an indication of balance if something does show up it'd probably become prominent in the GSL.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;39949605]hahah[/QUOTE] I love a good underdog story.

[QUOTE=K0ppel;39949715]Can we just wait until GSL 2 before we start commentating on balance, Koreans bopping foreigners is hardly an indication of balance if something does show up it'd probably become prominent in the GSL.[/QUOTE] But I must complain

All foreigners suck.

What the fuck was that from flash in game 3. Surprised for the lack of scouting up North, even more fucking surprised how he didn't control his shit at all

Man... his [I]life[/I] just [I]flash[/I]ed before his eyes. Huehuehue

FLASHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU wow that was such a short game

[QUOTE=Dark Link;39948080]what race do you play, out of curiosity?[/QUOTE] terran

Well mah boi MC is out... soo... GO FLASHHHHHHHHH WOOO

i dont think people can complain that zerg is underpowered, I think it actually requires some skill now

Today I learnt: Life's pretty good at this starcraft stuff for some bizarre reason.

Widow mines feels like a gamble. Perhaps its back to Seige Tanks.

Lackluster finals imo, Flash vs Innovation was the "final" for me. It was Life metagaming Flash in all the games.

gg tarrne op

yeah, that final wasn't anything great imo i was much more into the flash vs innovation match, that was some incredible shit to watch my only question is why on earth did flash not go mech, siege tanks with marines would have torn that apart

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;39943295]Got really drunk last night and discovered that gas is useless as Terran. If you make refineries then that's minerals and scvs that could have been used mining and building more barracks.[/QUOTE] someone should re-test this build in HOTS [video=youtube;abNuBO1j9sI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abNuBO1j9sI&list=PLB3C8135629ECD242&index=47[/video]

Flash vs. Innovation is the most excited I've been during an SC2 game since Boxer vs. Sen in the NASL. The finals were not as fun. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] I thought I was gonna have an aneurysm watching Flash vs. Innovation.

Or a Flash vs MC final.

Flash was horrible during the grand finals.

[QUOTE=Tosas;39952736]Flash was horrible during the grand finals.[/QUOTE] No, he actually played incredibly well. Life is just really really good.

[QUOTE=Melkor;39952949]No, he actually played incredibly well. Life is just ungodly good.[/QUOTE] I don't know, I felt like flash lacked scouting, at least with one helion or something. I thought, ok maybe it was just a mistake at first ling bling bust, but when the second time it happened in Cloud Kingdom, I really felt like he should've scouted around with one helion to not make the same mistake. Also, the first time it happened(forgot the map name), he didn't micro. I expected at least a semi-decent micro to split his units, but what I've got instead were just bio units curled into a ball awaiting baneling connections.

I agree. I felt like the last game his unit composition didn't really fit well with what Life was doing. Life went very anti-meta builds which I feel is one of the reasons Flash lost.

flash is a really conventional and methodical player, and he is EXTREMELY good at that i can totally understand someone as aggressive as life sweeping him like that, though, it's difficult to get a foothold and power through with pure macro like flash does so well when you literally have 60 speedlings busting down your front door, followed by ling/bling, followed by more ling/bling/muta

"Unranked games will put you against players of equal skill" Puts me against silver players and makes me feel like a smurfing asshole.
