With small drops and explosive fights fights for positioning there was still some great starcraft being played, but something massive was blocking the light. TvT was also still primarily the grounds of Biotank players like Dream, Maru and MMA and man did they entertain us. At first there was relief as those who were playing mech before the nerf didn’t have massive spikes in winrates, and we didn’t have to deal with hour long snoozefests of 25k banks on both sides. The Swarmhost nerf wasn’t so bad at first, there were a few outliers playing mech before the nerf. He’s a beast, and somebody that is extremely easy to cheer for when he plays.)
I learned more about Zerg in one day watching him talk about his games than I have from watching any pro games, or studying any number of replays. Guys got one of the best Zerg streams around. (All joking aside, I love Snute and hope he can get his form back. Everybody knew it was coming, everybody knew it had to happen but nobody could predict just how bad it was going to get. I remember when everybody thought he was going to be the next great one, but something changed all that. Time has eased his anger, but anybody that can see him at work knows his performance has dropped off big time. There will be a next time right?ĭo you follow LiquidSnute on Twitter? Have you ever watched him stream before? He’s showing all the signs of somebody in pain from the loss of somebody he loved.
Maybe next time they play in a series late into tournament play Life will be that 1% better, maybe the final map will favour him and we’ll see the birth of great sc2 rivalry. Dream might have played 1% better, and the map Overgrowth provided a way for him to translate that into a victory. Dream deserved the win, but Life did too. In the end, you can’t say Life lost the game. Life does everything in his power to pickup the win, but in the end Dream is able to finally overpower him. With fights in 3 or 4 different places at once both players showcase their ability to multitask. There’s a ton of great games of Starcraft 2, but these 7 minutes are something else entirely. The next 7 minutes is some of the finest Starcraft you’ll ever be played, and the reason I don’t think there will be another game that can match up. When dream breaks the game wide open at the 28 minute mark by killing Life’s fifth base all hell breaks lose. Featuring massive fights of maxed out armies, and a TON of scrappy skirmishes in the lategame this is one game of starcraft that has it all. You would be doing a huge disservice to the players skill if you said that though. Ling, Bane, Muta game on one of the most boring maps in the pool, Overgrowth. You can sum up what happened by saying Dream and Life played a super standard Biomine vs. One friends (let’s call him James) response in particular really stands out to me, “I don’t normally watch entire games when you show them to me but that game was amazing, I watched the whole thing all the way through.” This is important, because James doesn’t play Starcraft 2 hell he doesn’t watch any video games, He just plays them. Dream played a game against Life that was so good I had to share it with my friends. I don’t want to remember Flash’s of something that was a major part of life, and regret never at least putting my thoughts on paper.ĭream vs.
This won’t be short, but if you don’t express how you feel nobody will know. That’s a bold statement, and it really doesn’t have to be this way but for things to change we need to take a deep look back into what made that game special as well as Blizzards past. The Legacy of a game played by few and watched by even less will be real Life but the memories of a Dream will leave a Void of what could have been.
#1 The last great game of Starcraft 2 has already been played.
