When is GSL back? I'm too spoiled by it to really get into the other series.

I really wanted to see the AI cannon rush. Or see well it defends against one.

I for one don't want to see what an AI can do when bound by limitations like max APM. I thought the whole point of this was to make as good an AI as possible. If it's unbeatable and ludicrous with micro that's fine.

Mata posted:I was hyperbolizing a bit above but i would be disappointed if the AI had such good micro/macro that it didn't need to learn any strategy, tactics or decision-making at all, and just won with the same 1 base blink stalker build every game. That would seem to me like the deepmind team wasted their time on a game that wasn't very suited for what they were trying to do. I guess I can see that perspective.

Antares posted:I'd go along with most of these but do you rate Alive that highly right now? I haven't seen him play in a while but I would've favored Rogue/Zest. I have 0 faith in Scarlett unfortunately, I'd really like her to do well. Zest I just don't think is that great relative to Kespa era.

What a great story. Love soO so much and you could see even Stats was happy for him after the last match. Wish artosis/tasteless could have casted it but all the same.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:yeee I think it's because he's being hired to cast these events which have to appeal to a certain type of viewer, we talked about this in the old thread but you even see how Artosis has to act like a 14 year old fortnite streamer at the non-Korean events because some out of touch marketing manager has decided that starcraft viewers need the casters to pretend to be super excited and riled up and screaming etc. If Maynarde was casting GSL you'd probably see him take a more intellectual and measured approach to the cast.

I find him sometimes hilarious and sometimes just average, sometimes a little grating like you guys are saying but I think I fall on the side of liking him. I find him extremely relatable as an arrogant guy myself I guess? And I like how he doesn't take it too seriously. Like in the Stats vs soO finals he said something to the extent of 'look I'm not going to pretend to be able to read super into [Stat]'s brain right now[...]' and I liked it a lot because a lot of people would be trying to hype up some bullshit about player mentality. He definitely has a diminutive approach but I like it a lot better than the meme heavy stuff you get from other casters he usually works with. I think he really shines when it's a group conversation sorta thing like the hangouts sometimes hosted on the starcraft twitch channel where it's people just hanging out chatting normally. Having said all this he has the type of personality where I worry he's like months from killing himself considering some stuff he's said on twitter about struggles etc, not to mention going through a divorce. I hope he doesn't!

If someone is going to dominate like that I want them to be either super charismatic like byuN or the literal opposite total deadpan 'this is easy every time', 'I'm doing it for the money' etc like Maru.

Gunder posted:If you guys could pick one unit to remove from the game because you feel that it’s useless or that it negatively affects the game, what would it be and why? I don't think any unit is like that but the closest thing for me is modern infestors.

Dunno about you guys but no other unit in the game is as frustrating for me to deal with (as a zerg) than 6+ adepts shading back and forth or split up if they can get them into my base. I'd rather see a carrier at my drone line.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Actually it’s among the easiest to cast combos in the game because you don’t need to click specific targets (like you do with emp or snipe) and because it’s against air units which naturally stack. So even if it’s “late” it’s still harder for the other player to mitigate the combo damage than it is for the casting player to generate damage. Wait did they change EMP? My memory of it is a casted AoE about the size of a sentry forcefield.

Oasx posted:I can’t blame anyone for not playing in the GSL, it has an awful format and the location means that you are missing out on playing in most other tournaments. Bro monks don't go on silent retreats for 3 years because it's convenient, they do it because they recognize it's a hideously important thing to do for themselves to achieve enlightenment and in this video game it's the same thing with Serral he's gotta go hang his dick on the wall for a season or two and get it done.

If the casting of non GSL tournaments was more palatable I'd love to pay attention to that scene.

Yoshi Wins posted:Rifkin is the worst caster. I remember I hated both him and Zombiegrub, and then I heard her casting without him and she was fine. Not great, but not actively bad. Eminently tolerable. I still can't stand either of them (ZG or Rifkin) and actually will avoid watching anything they're in. He's definitely a hundred times worse than she is but still, feels like they both got their foot in the door and now there just aren't any other options. At least it's not GTR I guess. I didn't know feardragon was a goon though. I never really watched anything he casted but hope he's alright.

Synastren posted:Tongue in cheek reminder that protoss are mad about nydus when they've had warp prisms for almost 9 years. As a fellow Z I'm sure you'd agree that prisms have only really felt abusive since they increased the pick up range to beam up range. I think I shake my head every single time I see it pick up a unit from max range. I know you're emphasizing that the huge maps favor the prism because of being able to warp in reinforcements/harassing zealots etc but the range is still more irritating to me because it feels broken despite queen range.

I actually really enjoyed the bald caster guy as well. Only complaint would be that he seemed like he was focusing on his intonation too much (too swarmy?) if that makes sense but I think it's probably also a thing that you fall into easily when you're a caster working the biggest gig of your life so far. I'd definitely watch him again. Was legit funny at times.

Wow that's really horrible. After his divorce he seemed a little unstable at times and I worried I'd wake up to read about him having done something self-harm related but it sounds like this was an actual medical thing he succumbed to - that's insane considering how healthy he seemed. I really liked him even when he was at his goofiest and will really miss him.
