Imbalanced Things that Terran Players take for granted that Other Races DON'T have Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:45 AM PST Terran players are well known for thinking they are entitled to things like game balance when in reality they have some of the most imbalanced aspects in the whole game: 1) Soundtrack: Terrans have by far the best soundtrack consisting of heavy metal and light-spirited rock n roll. The other races are stuck with depressing orchestra music while we terrans are blessed with upbeat and motivating guitar tracks. 2)Campaign: The WOL campaign is the ONLY one that's completely non-linear. Not only does it have the most missions, it also contains a near-endless permutation of mission order to choose from. Meanwhile other races are stuck with boring linear highly-predictable story lines. 3)Coop Commanders: With a whoopin' 7/18 commanders being terran, we have by far the widest selection to choose from. Everyone knows coop is way more important than ladder (unironically, it actually is), so a wider selection of commanders literally yeilds to a wider range of fun! So please terrans, next time before you whine please think about all these things that we have and the other races don't. These are not to be taken for granted. [link] [comments] | ||

The state of this god damn subreddit Posted: 04 Mar 2020 12:37 AM PST Mods banned memes here (basicaly, as the rules set to post memes are so ridiculous nothing viable will get through) for a reason, they wanted healthy discussion and the subreddit not to die. But as people on the Pylon Show discussed for hours, the way to get there on a subreddit this small is not to ban memes. Lets look at what is happening now. A lot of balance whine posts. Now, lets not discuss wheather there is any merit to the complains, people are entitled to discuss whatever they want, even the notorious "terran whine" has a place here. But we have to take care not to have a circlejerk here. As a zerg player, I feel really unwelcome in any discussion. As someone who understands statistics, I feel really unwelcome in any discussion. Any view on the subject not liked by the terran masses gets downvoted, and because of how downvotes work, noone will see it. This subreddit is a place for what, exactly? Even during IEM, the content here sucked. Someone tried to make a game recommendation thread for each day, it never got upvoted and barely had any comments. Because of a hate of spoilers (why are you going to a subreddit if you are not up to date with the tournament... my lord) there were barely any discussions about the games or highlights from the games. What is the content we want here? Balance whine? Surely not... And for gameplay related posts, we have r/allthingsprotoss, r/allthingszerg and r/AllThingsTerran. Why are memes banned here when circlejerking posts about ONE tournament being won by zerg (yeah, again) are flooding it here. The discussion under any such thread is just mudslinging and its not going anywhere. Is this the dream content the mods want here? Mudslinging discussions? And actualy, the ones that start as a meme are the best ones from here! The one with Thanos balancing, the one with 100% 2020 winrate of zerg... People seem to have no problem having discussions even under picture posts, the ones you hate so much mods. The funny thing I find is that notorious people like u/Nathanias can have a much better discussion with me than most of the people around here. He actualy had ideas on how to buff Terran and how to nerf Zerg in an interesting way and could talk about it on here. But was that relevant and pleasant discussion upvoted? Nope... the top voted stuff is circlejerked variation on "Zerg too good, terran too weak" and any attempts at disputing that (starting a discussion) just gets downvoted instead of discussed. I want to mention one last thing. In the guide to what is allowed and what is not, Cold is the Void stalker was in discretion zone. That was the top post for years on this subredit. So now, mods are saying the TOP POST FOR SEVERAL YEARS can just outright get removed because its not "high effort enough". What is high effort anyway, what if it took me several hours to polish the joke? But if I paing a chad and virgin in MS Paint, maybe add zealot hands or something.... that counts as high effort because its original art. Even though the joke I put on there might suck horribly. And it could have taken 2 minutes to make. Its r/gatekeeping, people cannot post jokes here if they are not good enough artists. If a point of this sub now is to scream about spoilers at anyone posting anything during a tournament and for a balance whine mudslinging shitfest after the tournament, with little to no discussion and NO MODERATION AT ALL (too busy removing memes I guess), then this sub is on the way to the toilet. EDIT: Rifkin got banned but throwawayaccount69 is still here and trolling, even though he is so notorious everyone on the Pylon Show knew him. Nice job there, mods. [link] [comments] | ||

Shoutout to “SC2 Esports Anthology” on Youtube for organizing old GSL VODs Posted: 03 Mar 2020 03:11 PM PST This person has put in what has to be an unbelievable amount of work to organize these VODs. The VODs on GOM's channels are split between not one but three different channels, not sorted by playlist or anything else, and have various degrees of specificity in the titles, from anything from just " - Starcraft 2" to the full specificity of "X vs X (XvX) Round of X GSL Open Season 1 2010". Many VODs are missing, private, or simply nonexistent. To organize this total mess into coherent playlists, in the specific order in which they were played, for multiple entire seasons of the GSL (the Open seasons at least, maybe more), must have been an absolutely gigantic undertaking, and it's so important that this history be preserved in a way that we can easily look back on. I don't know who this person is, or if they read this subreddit, or if they're even still active in SC, but whoever you are: thank you from the community. [link] [comments] | ||
Armani talks about in chat about how PartinG and Special fought Posted: 04 Mar 2020 01:49 AM PST https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=sc2&no=564546&page=1 Armani: So juan was drunk first A: and to parting A:he kinda insulted him A: and parting said something in english like A: fat pig or smth smth A: and juan got mad at him lol A: so at like 3 am in the morning ty's sleeping and he went to ty's room crying A: he knocked at his door for 10 mins and woke him up and he cried at the spot A: lol A: ty was sleeping and got mad at him for waking him up Wasn't there a pic of him and TY sleeping on the same bed?

A Cruddy Zerg Player Spitballing Terran Buffs Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:45 PM PST I want Terrans to have a better time. Everyone has a better time when everyone gets to have a good time. I'd appreciate this post just being focused discussing ideas mentioned or other new ideas that add to Terran, rather than discussing say nerfing queens or disruptors. Those are very valid discussions, but I want to broaden discussion for fun and prosperity. I can't comment on TvT or TvP beyond low level theorycraft, so help me out if I'm off base. ----- When playing bio in particular, an issue for Terran is having to micro bio on multiple fronts. Maybe another defensive option?
Eco. Nathanias described economy issues well. My reservations here is that Terran has many ~5min or so pushes and BC rushes, this may just make them stronger and nudge people to double down on those timings. Maybe that's fine. Idk.
----- Please suggest other new ideas guy in the chat. Be creative. Be nice. [link] [comments] | ||
The Dark Side of Offline Qualifications Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:13 PM PST Im gonna use a throwaway account, to share with the community something that being around since years during any offline qualification matches. I played the offline qualifications at IEM KATOWICE, and i regular play and attend to offline qualifications when I have the chance to. One of the problems that 90% of the attending players knows about it - its listening to the streams during the game or getting information about the game, via friend sitting next to you listening to the stream. You may not know, but the delay is minimal, some friends i know, even open the twitch streams on the computers they are playing, but most of the time - it happens via headphones connected to the phone, so you avoid potential caught and shaming. I dont want to share names, but its publicly known that this is being a thing since years, most of the people doing it as i said - with headphones > lets say the left one is connected to the phone, while the right one is the one being used for the in game sound. IEM Katowice wasnt different, from what i heard, even one of the games on day 1 ( the main stream ) , one of the player, was using that method to gain information and advantage. As i said this is a thing since years, specially when you have mass qualification games at once, and referees cant really look up and catch whats going on on the desks. Another thing that in some tournaments exist is - disabling twitch from the computer you are playing, that was not the case in KATOWICE, but as i said - most people are using the phones and left/right headset to listen to a stream. ps: im not saying any of the players that passed the qualifications used it, or if so - i dont know, but its a thing that the community must be aware of, and if possible - to be avoided in future offline qualifications.

I'd like to bring a bit of yin to the excessive yang of balance discussions Posted: 04 Mar 2020 01:08 AM PST As a spectator, I'll admit that the game becomes less interesting when most major and premier tournaments are being dominated by a single race. As a player, I was around during WoL and let me tell you that we are currently spoiled. There are too many variables for SC2 to be balanced perfectly and I'll confidently claim that I don't believe it's possible. However, I think the current balance is so good that the faults probably don't impact upon us as average players. I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that we're not watching 3-hour-long games between FireCake and Mana and we're not watching every Zerg rush to Broodlord/Infestor and then just roll over their opponent as though their opponent is sleeping.
