    I think the funniest moment in this series was seeing that Ultra coming down the ramp toward 20+ stalkers, and just immediately NOPE-ing out of there. XD

    I enjoy the focus on one player at a time, as it's cool to see what that player may be thinking or intending with their actions. I feel like if you tried to focus on both players, there would not be enough time to go into that detail.

    • @jamespitcher8163
      @jamespitcher8163 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe try deliberately focusing on one player for 1 cast, then trying one as balanced as you can. Sould be good skill development and interesting to see what people like better.

    In the last game, Dark could've build a spire as a preparation.
    When zest goes all in, he could've sacrifice his 3rd and 4th to make vipers.
    The ling counter attack was the best he can do but it seems like panicked and realized that he needs a spire.
    All he needs is blinding clouds.

  • @tacticalnukegaming8979

    In my opinion, casting from one side or the other only is fine and often much more informative, as long as the point of view isn't always one race or the other.

    Are there ever any 2v2 or 3v3 games any more? I remember you did a 8 player which ended in an awkward 3 way standoff that dragged on for days, but it would be interesting to see some switch ups in regards to play style when working with a team mate.

    As a Terran player if you made the void ray build slower than I would not have to play against the void ray with shield battery cheese in at least half of my Terran vs Protoss games. So yea, I would support that.

  • @amirkadir8427

  • @jasonlynch282
    @jasonlynch282 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree that I never understood why they reduced the voidrays build time. Other perks of higher base speed less cost was ok considering how useless they had been before.

  • @Owlr4ider
    @Owlr4ider 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Actually Twitch was made for mobas like dota and battle royales like fortnite much more than it was built for starcraft. Starcrafts e-sports scene is great and all, and certainly 1 of the oldest considering broodwar still has a competitive scene over 2 decades later, albeit only in Korea IIRC. Still it's always been outshone by the above 2 genres and arguably FPS games too, be it counterstrike, cod or whatever.

    As a protoss player, I don't harass with probes that much. Usually just make a bunch of stalkers and hit them in the face as quick as possible. Than transition to void rays or Templar. I do harass with oracles though

      @bdizzle7072 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most popular change proposal Is leting them walk over unts like Colossi do, but I do like the idea of Brutalisk spike as an addition. Gives Zerg a late game anti-air that isn't vipers and a million corruptors.
