What did you think of BR3?
Amazing, best one yet!
Great game overall
Other BR's were better
It was horrible

It was really disappointing. Zerg AGAIN had the economic edge, more mass, but failed to rush in the base and was out micro'd in the end. I hated it, but neural parasite and burrowed Banelings pwnd.

meh.. ive already seen it off of youtube and viddler. But yeah it is a good game. I would really like to see some high tech units though. I mean Colossus isnt much if its in each protoss BR. I wanna see thors and ultralisks and stuff. But overall great. Cant wait till beta and wanna kill someone over to buy it.

i was suprised at certain mechanic's of the battle report , but overall i thought it was great to see small unit's fighting back n forth microing effectivly : P ,

@ gear , i'm not sure if you can reveil the information , but was the gameplay you played today significantly different from the 2008 battle reports?

ok 2 things though.

1. GREAT STALKER MICRO!! I love the toss players with the skill. Blink is a weapon all alone. I wanna see some turtling though. Maby mass photon cannons. Or maby Colossus. Or more of them.

2. Are these older builds from 08 and blizz is showing us left overs. or are we seeing the new stuff. If option A then I wanna see new. If B then uh maby some improvements.

What do you mean the economic edge? the Protoss was able to out mine the Zerg just I think the Zerg used Queens mutated larva and the Protoss player teched up.

lol if anything the toss had the economic edge , those dark pylon's allow the probes to mine 25% faster , so the toss didn't need more expansions to keep up

i agree with omega, pretty early you can see that the protoss player got the obelisk out and used proton charge as soon as he could..

and you can hear in the vid that the protoss are out mining the zerg by double the amount...

it would've been better if they showed a much more up to date game

(when the warp ray was shown flying it just moved and had no means of propulsion and that looked downright lame and it didn't even do its spin around bit while attacking and also the stalkers had extremely jittery legs and so did the Immortal and also the warp in action didn't look great and the phoenix attack looked bad just to name off a few things but I really really hope they made uber improvements since that game)

i think that the zerg need to be teched up in SC2, i think it is essential to tech up, because if you look at SC2 its easyer to tech up rather than mass units, so if the zerg tech up more and get corruptors, mutas, lurkers, ultras then we would see a very interesting game.

and random has a point with the more up to date game..

I voted wrong, but personally I think this was the best one yet. We saw great unit micro by both players, some interesting tactics, unit abilities we hadn't seen used before, and some weaknesses of the races.

Micro:
P: the forcefields
Z: the infestors

Tactics
P: warp-in with phase prism
Z: burrowed infestors using collosi to kill P's own army

Abilities:
P: forcefield, warp-in, charge
Z: infestor's...infest...thing, queen's ability to make more larvae

Weaknesses:
P: stalkers Z: no air and no hydras=less combat-capable force than possible; overlords EXTREMELY weak when attacked by air (well...duh)

I tried to come up with items that would not be affected by the invidual players' weaknesses. For example, the zerg player didn't build any hydras or air, which could have helped a lot. He left his third expansion open, and made all sorts of mistakes that the protoss player exploited.
Siege. Tanks. Own. All.

It all about drone count not the dark plyon. Toss had like 30% more workers for the better part of the game.

For both matches vs Zerg David Kim has manage to keep a much higher worker count and have his mpm significantly higher than his opponents.
