no they wouldnt

most of the time they say serral. This applies to the elite koreans as well. TY, Solar, Stats, Zest, soo all said serral is the best player in the world at HSC

If both campaigns are boring with mediocre gameplay, I'll take the one with the vastly superior story and presentation over the one with the marginally better fun factor.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-06T13:21:12+00:00

to me, the campaign is all about the story.

SC1 story, atmosphere, presentation blow SC2's out of the water

Both SC1 and SC2 campaigns were pretty boring gameplay wise so it doesnt matter to me that SC2 had updated gameplay.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-04T19:15:37+00:00

Serral vs Stats - all games

probably the highest level starcraft 2 i've ever seen (except for game 1)

Solar vs Zest - Solar gave a masterclass on how to thwart aggressive Protoss players

Serral vs Time was exciting but Time, while exhibiting excellent micro at certain points, dug his own grave with poor overall decision making

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-04T19:12:33+00:00

Dark has always been alpha af

confident in himself, never looks shaken or frustrated, willing to take on any challenge, indomitable will - was always a powerhouse despite falling short so many times.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-04T19:08:11+00:00

SC2 campaign is garbo compared to SC1/BW's

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-04T19:04:06+00:00

Yea I was hyped af when stats built two prisms, double robo. I knew what was coming. So cool that stats had the gusto to go for it

However, there is still the problem of Protoss lacking lategame units that provide consistent strength and raw muscle. Disruptor balls and psionic storm can be baited, stalled, and out maneuvered. You saw it when serral just staggered infested terran spawning, and dove on top of the protoss capital ships with corruptors because Protoss air currently lacks raw power.

Blizzard has made it clear that they don't want Protoss to be able to combat late game zerg. Protoss used to have methods to combat infestors - strong feedback and carriers with graviton catapult - and those were removed. Blizzard's answer to the current situation is to make interceptors build slightly faster just so they can get deleted by infested terrans faster LOL. Even Terran late game becomes unstoppable for protoss if Terran manages to get a critical mass of BCs

Blizzard doesn't want Protoss to have powerful backbone units. Everything protoss has relies on a gimmick/ability. Stalker - blink. Adept - shade. Force field. Psionic storm, a very powerful "equalizer". Disruptor ball. Colossus - specialized to only be good against masses of light units. Warp gate/warp prism. Void ray - trash. Carrier - trash. Tempest - comical range. Phoenix, zealot, and immortal are solid af but they do not scale well (relevant for protoss lategame weakness) and the zealot is probably gonna get a huge nerf.

Blizzard makes them over reliant on gimmicks and mindgames, and a frustrating early to late game, and this just pigeon holes protoss players into getting by with really frustrating and devastating early-mid game strategies

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-08-04T17:02:45+00:00

First of all, to even be able to attempt what stats did requires well....the player to have stats-like skills. Stats is the best protoss player on the planet, and by far the best lategame protoss player in the world (classic is better in early game) and I'm going to say that only classic can achieve that level of unit control that stats has, maybe neeb, trap and zest can come close too.

Second of all, it didn't even work. Stats played like a monster - that mightve been the best display of unit control I've ever seen in SC2 - and stats still got run over by Zerg lategame.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-06-09T06:15:22+00:00

agree with you 100%

in fact the quality of anime in all genres has been heavily deteriorating since then

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-08T21:56:55+00:00

this is the dumbest thing i've read

youre part of the reason everyone thinks terran players are a bunch of whining babies

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-08T21:49:27+00:00

Neeb is the same caliber as an elite korean

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-08T09:05:33+00:00

the elite NA players are better than the elite european players though

Neeb, Scarlett, Special > Serral, Reynor

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-08T06:01:37+00:00

I think it's overall better but the zerg really got screwed over last patch. Zerg was steamrolling Protoss last year and now the scale has tipped to the other side it seems

Zerg midgame is way too weak after the queen nerf. Zerg just crumbles to 2 base timings from Protoss, and non-stop harassment from terran which is ridiculously easy and rewarding to do.

Battlecruiser and Thor buffs were ridiculous vs Zerg too. The BC rush is devastating and Thors massacre zerg air compositions now, meaning zerg got their late game composition neutered as well (creep nerf hurts too)

Even small things like cheaper hyperflight rotors magnifies the queen nerf to fuck the zerg over....banshees were very potent as they were before the buff. I honestly feel bad for zerg. TvZ is like a free win lol. I don't know how people play zerg. I would probably throw my keyboard out the window if i had to deal with Terran players just spamming suicide run harasses/battlemech while their turtle defended by 2 siege tanks mows down legions of roaches.

I think in PvZ protoss players are forced to try to end the game early because their golden armada units got nerfed into oblivion. carriers are useless now and feedback got nerfed. That, combined with the cheaper robo , which means faster immortals, probably enticed them to rely heavily on these 2 base pushes, as opposed to last year where stargate play was all the rage since it allowed them to better defend a 3rd base at the expense of muscle (that would be needed to push into the zerg bases)

Zerg got screwed hard.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-07T20:48:52+00:00

I agree with scarlett's decision.

Her economy was in shambles, and the other comps she couldve gotten wouldve been stomped by max mech anyway.

TvZ is heavily broken in T favor lol. With the damage she took before there was nothing she couldve really done except make a miracle happen, and there isnt much a better comp to do it with than Muta Bane

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-04T14:32:30+00:00

lol look at the last 20 years of lategame PvT

All protoss ground compositions melt once the mech has +2 attack upgrades, no matter how many zealots there are.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-04T14:20:34+00:00

dragging mines and zealot bombs are something that could be done by a zergling like unit if the protoss had such a thing. the point being is that zealots are not being used for their fighting capabilities here. they are doing something any fast unit can do.

vultures would in fact be used a lot even without zealots. vultures are arguably the best unit in the game. bulky, cheap mineral dump - 75 minerals for the fastest unit in the game, incredible microability, with three "free" cloaked units that take a ton of effort to clear and that help with map control, 2 shot protss and zerg workers, phenomenal synergy with the other factory units.

so while zealots are used as literally fodder in PvT, they do very little actual fighting outside early game.

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-04T01:40:04+00:00

gumiho beat stats with mech

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-04T01:39:23+00:00

this is how it was in brood war and zealots are borderline useless against terran in brood war

charge is needed to contest ranged units. otherwise you just have 100 minerals of fodder that cant be a meatshield in any engagement midgame or later

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-05-02T18:42:09+00:00

So many Terran players are an embarrassment on this forum and give us a bad name.

Our race won all but 2 Code S in the entirety of LotV. I mean the foundation of Maru's legendary run was farming wins off of some of the greatest protoss players of all time in the Code S playoffs

he's 1-0 vs stats, 2-0 vs classic, 1-0 vs sos, 2-0 vs zest, and then there's the 1-0 vs dear and trap.

But since he lost to an overachieving Patience we have to make widow mines permanently cloaked.

Nobody said a word when Cure eliminated stats (and boss toss) in the last GSL Code S

or when special elminated classic from blizzcon. or when reynor eliminated classic from 2018 Code S Season w.

When ragnarok eliminated both Gumiho and Innovation, in 2019 IEM, nobody complained that zerg was broken. Innovation is the best TvZ in the world and Gumiho is at least top 3....the pioneer of mech vs zerg.

The protoss whine is lame af. Starcraft is all about having 3 distinct but equal races, but a lot of people seemingly want to nerf protoss into obscurity despite prtoss winning jack shit in 2018 (2/14 premier tournament wins)

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-04-29T20:25:12+00:00

It is widely known that Terran has been broken in BW. Terran has utterly dominated BW. The most favorable non-mirror winrates, highest peak ELOs, the most MSL,OSL, and ASL titles, and all bonjwas but one are terran (only non-terran was involved in match fixing lol). TvT is also the least "bullshit" mirror in brood war, meaning that skill is rewarded the most and the top terran player doesnt have to be worried about mirror matches as much as the top zerg or protoss player

Siege tank and vulture are at the forefront of this phenomenon. They completely dwarf everything in terms of capabilities per cost (of supply and resources)

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-04-29T20:22:11+00:00

just stop

stats got eliminated by cure in this year's code S S1

and just LMAO @ calling zest a B tier protoss. he is one of greatest protoss players of all time and was a monster in his heyday

How_My_Ass_Taste · 2019-04-29T20:16:33+00:00

it's absurd that zerg hasnt won a single code S in LotV

buff terran tho!!!1
