Seems like a good year for Zerg :p
Though that last month... well...



Korea only (i.e. Korea only):

OK, so, ZvT is clearly broken here :D
And what to make of that ZvP?

Also somewhat confirms the last MLG, where the top 5 were all Korean and Terran.

for me it looks like it isnt showing *much*.
terran really is positioned much higher in average then any other race, but on the other hand, terran units are very vulnerable as well.

besides this everything is going up and down on a regular basis so i dont know if you can really tell much about the balancing there.

This chart seems to take every league into consideration.
I'm pretty sure bronze-plat leagues drag down Zerg quite a bit.

Aye, I remember him saying that when I beat him in the last THT finals. Very convenient to blame everything on imba.
The win rates prove it's true, especially among Koreans.

Do these win rates mean anything, given that the game automatically pairs you with players with whom you'll win against ~50% of the time? So if (ahem) T was imbalanced in their favour, a less skilled T player would be paired against a more skilled Z player and the win rates would still be around 50%, regardless of how strong the races are.

It'd be interesting to see what the average MMR is for each race, or what % of each division play each race, and the sort.

The celerisk said it's taken from tournaments in the opening post, not from battle.net. So no match making system here.
Although it doesn't say from which tournaments.

Starcraft II is 20-30% skill. 70% is the plan and how good your units are. Lucky for terran, all they need to do is get tanks and MMM

Well, who else would you blame? Your mom for not passing on gosu genes? :p


> Although it doesn't say from which tournaments

With, for example, 2400+ games for July, tournaments only, it's safe to assume it's from "all they could possibly find".
Perhaps they completely missed the unheard of Backwater Gulch Hometown Cup, but, well, it wouldn't have changed the overall result :D

70% is whether the protoss manages to feedback the ghosts and storm the shit out of the terran or the ghosts emp the high templars + archons + collosi + sentries.

lol just get fudging 3 or 4 ghosts, there's no way the hts can feedback all of them before they dish out emp, plus you need loads of gas to do that, while you can just mmm the protoss' expansion like there's no tomorrow.

>>says the protoss
pffff I played 1200 games as human in wc3 and 1200 games in sc2, ik when something is op.

i have seen enough pro games commentary where it came down to whether feedback/storm or emp/snipe were faster.
most of them were won by the protoss but thats still only a matter of microing your units abilities.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
