@@anthonybarajas2838 What I believe they were saying is that both thought attacking was a losing move so both would just sit their side of the map. Nothing would ever happen because whoever attacks loses. So draw. Or play until 1 guy just falls asleep I guess.

The word "meme" certainly existed in 2008. At least in the 4chan circles.

@MarlotteTR 23 күн бұрын

The word "meme" is a concept proposed by Richard Dawkins long before memes appeared on the Internet. In his proposal, the "meme" is the most basic element of culture to share, like a "gene" with genetic information or a "bit" with computational data. Later, in the early 90s, the "internet meme" first appeared when Mike Godwin talked about how such "memes" were spread through email, forums, etc. Finally, during the new millennium, globalization allows people to access the digital era where social media have a great impact on the way, speed and breadth of dissemination of these "memes".

I think the thing that Lowko's missing is that the mutas weren't just "against terran late game". Dark was very specifically hunting down tanks and ghosts, i.e the things that would kill the ultraling composition that he would swing to after the mutas. He was essentially repeatedly clearing out the counters to ultraling so he could do damage with that.

@brandonballard3243 23 күн бұрын

Hey Lowko, Been a fan for years. I've probably watched about 75-85% of everything you have produced over that time. However I have found myself not watching as much lately, maybe just all the tournaments that have been going on. Not a criticism at all, just giving you some feed back on my watching habits if it happens to relate to a trend. Always enjoy seeing you cast at the big tournaments.

I am surprised Lowko until the end apparently didn't fully understand what Dark was doing with the Mutas. He got SO MUCH value from one-shotting the siege tanks and harrassing the ghosts - which are good against almost everything, but Mutas not so much! - before walking in with the Ultras. It's a brilliant idea, which I feel has even more potential to give Zerg another option in late-game ZvT.

If mules cost 1 supply while they're on the battlefield, that might reduce the turtley-ness of Terran just a bit - they'd still be extremely powerful, without being borderline broken in the very late game.

Maybe draws should be worth 1/2 point for both players like in chess. So, if you have two draws, it will be 1 to 1.

@hardworkingslacker7233 10 күн бұрын

The score is tied to the best of between dark and byun as I understand it, so whether they get zero, one half or even one whole point makes no difference. In chess, you get 1/2 points for a draw because you usually play in large tournament settings against a multitude of different players.
