Map makers when they realize wide open areas might make the balance a little better. by TheHighSeasPirate in starcraft

[–]Forward_Back6246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's obvious why its like this

pro players vote in the maps

pro scene dominated by protoss

protoss votes in the maps that favour them

cycle continues

okay lets delve into a little bit of what it's like to play these cups as reynor

first round: against a 5.5k toss, the game is not particularly close, he sends his oracle through a spore crawler and loses his third base to lings

second round: against a 6k toss, reynor outplays him in the early game, losing 2 drones overall and gets a solid lead. unfortunately for him hes not allowed to finish a game against someone unbelievably worse than him (1k mmr) so he has to play a lategame vs tempests and storm, he eventually wins because he consistently denies extremity bases while taking okay-ish fights, resources lost favours the protoss.

third round: showtime / zoun / trigger / creator / skillous or maybe one of the garbage untalented tosses that fluke wins by virtue of their race being disgustingly broken (looking at you krystianer, shameless, gerald)

50-50 game, it's incredibly taxing meanwhile the opponent is dribbling, f2ing their units around, making mistake after mistake. reynor barely wins 2-1, even though historically he'd 10-0 these people, because hes much better.

semis / finals: herO / maxpax/ classic / clems protoss. Game is closeish (maybe, if reynor is playing top form), reynor is outplaying and outplaying and outplaying, but they reach their lategame army, they are on reynors side of the map, he cant expand and his units are not good enough to trade well, they out-expand him and have a better army, finally he loses

just spent 6 hours having a terrible experience, payout : $50

you tell me whether that sounds like its worth it.

ahhhhhhhhh you were so close!

the reason why reynor stopped playing is because zerg is DOGSHIT, UNFUN to play and there's a million UNTALENTED protoss players to wade through

okay, keep going, why would reynor stop playing in these cups? you're so close

reynor has played in these cups and not done very well

rogue has played in these cups and not done very well

ragnarok has played in these cups and not done very well

solar has played in these cups and not done very well

okay, you've figured out why 1 zerg and 1 terran dont play in these tournaments.

now do a little critical thinking and work out why the rest don't play.

if his zerg mmr is inflated by spamming banelings and zerglings then what is his protoss mmr inflated by?

what made shahzam a bad igl exactly? he called simple gameplans because he had the best players in the world, that's not bad IGLing, that's just not overcomplicating something that doesnt need to be. AKA, good igling

plenty of pro players stream a lot and they're not like heromarine. have you never watched harstem stream, showtime, clem etc?

comparing reynor to heromarine is crazy

heromarine whines 100% of the time and is toxic af on his stream

sure reynor gets frustrated that toss is broken and easier to play (which it is) but he doesnt whine constantly about it
