This is PartinG's Vanguard Protege! | Refresh v Yoru Bo7 (Stormgate)

I’m glad to see the 1v1 meta continue to evolve. So far there still isn’t much content for casual players like myself, but it’d be worth the wait I think

[@sluggath88]

Coops have been very fun for casual gaming imo.

[@TheLunatic4281]

We need a stormgate mid-week day as well .........waiting till Sunday everyweek is just too long a wait 😅

[@BeoMulf]

Once I get this dissertation done maybe..

[@Onisis1]

It's nice to see that game meta evolved enough so we don't see the same unit comps over and over. I like seeing mixed armies with weavers and stompie boys for infernal. And thankfully the doggo meta is dead!

[@MultiFatduck]

Thanks for casting more stormgate and organizing these matches! Excited for the balance patch coming next week!

[@BeoMulf]

@@MultiFatduck balance patch is coming early November, but we don't know it's guaranteed next week

[@raistlinmajor1600]

I love your name. I'm sure you get that a lot beomulf

[@nicholascotardo3795]

Looks cool but.. are still missing units and tiers in this game?

[@BeoMulf]

Yupp. Missing the units, and dves have been hinting at missing some lower tier units as well. I think we should get them early next year as tech is developed?

[@DrBussanich]

BeoMulf, excellent announcing as always. Love your asides about FG and updates. The first 5 min of every game needs a lot of work on being fun or interesting. I know RTS very well, I'm not against what they built so far, but fundamentally watching pros spend 5 min fighting over the same creeps will get tired very quickly. I would really like to break the purists down and have them start each game with some bank and even possibly some buildings. Your first scout should see a small army and make what you choose to build early on with your first bank super critical. Let the action start much faster. Micro is important always, but watching 3 lancers fight 4 brutes shouldn't ever be the point you lose pro or not. It's boring, tbh.

[@BeoMulf]

Honestly, I find this more interesting that the start of a sc2 game, for example. 99% of sc2 games are just executing build orders with some minor pressure. With respect to fights over the same camps over and over, i have hope that we'll see more centralized camps and maps that are better designed (Artosis has been hinting at some sort of map design thing?) that should help quite a bit on this front

[@steffensgammelgaard]

It's also worth noting that FG has said there will be more units added in the future, so there could potentially be some nice tier 1 meme-like harassment units to make the early game more varied and fun

imagine trying to use infernals lol
