    Starcraft Co-Op Mutation #205: Call It A Comeback

    Starcraft Co-Op Mutation #205: Call It A Comeback


    Co-Op Mutation #205: Call It A Comeback

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 07:31 AM PDT

    The hardest wars are those of attrition. The temple is under siege, Amon's army is both resilient and fanatical, and Moebius engineers are ready to take over your abandoned buildings. Hold out as long as you can, and hope it is enough.

    Map: Temple of the Past

    Avenger
    Enemy units gain increased attack speed, armor, and life when nearby enemy units die.
    Eminent Domain
    Enemies gain control of your structures after destroying them.
    Just Die!
    Enemy units are automatically revived upon death.

    Rating: Brutal +4

    Video Replays on Brutal:

    Player 1                                   Player 2

    Notes:

    • All enemy units revive upon death. Enemy buildings and Zenith Stones do not revive. Void Thrashers revive.
    • Buildings that burn down will revive for Amon.
    • Eminent Domain does not work on stetellites, toxic nests, or omega worms.
    • The wall strategy still works, but the most consistent way to do it is when the enemies that kill the building are between the Temple and the wall.
    • Avenger can buff units up to ten times, with each increasing HP and shields by 10%, life regen by 1 per second, armor by 0.3, and attack and movement speed by 10%.
    • Units that get the Avenger buff also grow in size to give players a visual indicator.
    • Mind controlling units will make them lose all their mutator buffs.

    How pro players actually perform on average at every stage of every tournament since 2018

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 08:47 PM PDT

    https://i.imgur.com/J0xCglb.png

    This shows how likely a race is to advance from one round into the next for all tournaments since 2018 (from Aligulac's database).

    How to read the chart: If a race's representation goes up from one round to the next, then that race was favored to advance over the other two races due to a higher win-rate. Likewise if a race is disadvantaged then their number goes down due to lower win-rate and being knocked out of the tournament as a product of the lower win-rate. The more horizontal the line is, the more balanced the race - the more vertical, the more imbalanced.

    Example #1: Zerg representation increases from 5% to 50% -> Zerg is imbalanced with a massive win-rate advantage.

    Example #2: Zerg representation decreases from 36% to 34% -> Zerg is slightly disadvantaged with a small win-rate deficit.

    How not to read the chart: X race has fewer # of players than Y race - Y race is imba! The # of players has no meaning because it has no relation to win-rates: the difference in # of players from round to round does have a relation to win-rates because people with low win-rates are knocked out while those with high win-rates are the ones to advance!

    Why this chart is useful: breaking down balance on a per-round basis is a more fine-grained analysis than looking at tournaments/win-rates as a whole. We can see how balance shifts with skill, for example, and being able to filter skill allows us to more accurately measure balance.

    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 11:34 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    Apologies for not posting this earlier. I had intended to before I got sidetracked by a personal obligation.

    Nevertheless! We would like to first of all, give attention to a very cool starcraft tournament happening right now hosted by Wardi TV. Especially at trying times like these, it is nice to have things like this to bring us just a little bit of joy and excitement into our daily lives.

    It is currently running live with its Group B section of the day.

    Here is the link to the twitch stream:

    https://www.twitch.tv/wardiii

    Here is the Link to the liquipedia page:

    https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/WardiTV_We_Sold_Out

    Pretty cool stuff! We will be hosting a a new live discussion thread for Wardii's tournament on /r/starcraft, with every new tournament day.

    This thread is sparse as far as the tournament info goes for now because I wanted to get it up ASAP since the tournament is now live. I will be adding more info on the tournament structure in the threads moving forward.

    Question about COOP first game long loading time

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 01:32 AM PDT

    With the Commanders being free to play, I have increased my playing of SC2 Coop. However, I notice that the first game tends to always take a long time to load, and often even after the loading screen it simply returns me to the main menu saying:" game failed to load"

    I have experimented, if playing with a friend, my commander would leave the game upon the mission started. Sometimes it is so bad that I am still in the coop loading screen when the games start, and the system says I left the game.

    Any idea what is causing this issue and how to reduce it?

    Marine Splitting Micro

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:49 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    how do high level players split their Marines so fast? Is it just accurate boxing? Sometimes it looks like they use the patrol command to let them split a bit and than attack, is this true? Or are there any other tricks?
