FIRST Look at Celestials v Infernals! | PartinG v Theory Bo5 (Stormgate) 

Right? It's not totally there yet, but the bones of it being a really cool positional matchup at there. Now we just need T3 units...

I think a lot of this revolves around how many tools players have to defend worker lines + how beefy structures are. BOB overcharge, static defense, etc means that its hard to find value from runbyes, but we do see top players doing things like kri backstabs, etc. I'm with you though, I'd like to see some tuning to reward multitasking more

from what I looked-up "definition-wise - Deathballing is the practice of grouping most of your military assets into a single blob and using it to handle the majority of your military engagements." From that it seems my style, I've been working for 10 years I just don't have the APM/CPM as I used to, and I have carpal tunnel. Can this game be less strenuous to people with like carpal tunnel? It seems having less than

@@MangaGamified that's one of the great things about rating systems! You can go try hard and play fast, but you'll be matched against people of similar skill after enough ranking games. FG also places a significant focus on campaign, coop, and other alternative modes that won't be quite as "sweaty" as 1v1 competitive Edit: also, generally people in RTS games use the metric of APM, or actions per minute - that is mouse clicks, key presses, etc. Its pretty rare for everyone except for the pros (or like upper 1% of players) to average more than 300 APM on a game of sc2, and a lot of that tends to be meaningless clicks. You'll be fine!

@@BeoMulf Hope so, there's literally one game that's if I dare to say all about deathball(no I'm no pro) but you can still pull apart individual units, sry can't remember the name I just click video after video. But I atleast think it's gameplay was just released this year.

@@MangaGamified battle aces? Zero space? In general lower level players will trend towards more deathball strats as it's easier to control, but 13loodSwords worry is more about the highest level/esports play. It's far more fun to watch a bunch of multitasking than two players building armies until they fight, but that's not the expectation of a gold league player (or the equivalent)

This was the first public look at the Celestials - I have no doubt we'll see some significant tuning between now and Early Access. Technically the animancer has to channel the singularity to get it off and that provides counterplay, but I think the range is perhaps a bit too long and/or cancelling the channel is pretty difficult. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens now that the devs have a month of high level play to balance around

The guy in chat was writing-apparently no t3 at EA launch

They just posted on discord today that T3 WILL be in the game. At least some of the units

@@H0kie yep! I saw that - seems like things are evolving in real time. I also got permission to go and put out casts that were under NDA until now, so that's exciting

I didn't think they're bad - they're very good against beefy units

@@BeoMulf I think they should do less damage and move faster. They feel way to slow to move out with the rest of your army

What's wrong with the title?

@@BeoMulf stormate

@@smnvalex lol that's definitely a typo. Fixed!

Lol. Their cannon, from what I can tell, says that Infernals and Celestials waged conflict on and around Earth during pre-history, which means all the angelic and demonic iconography we see across different cultures is inspired by these two races. Kind of an "ancient aliens" type vibe more than anything

Vanguard was the strongest faction of the frigate patch, and I enjoy infernals. Definitely reasons to play all 3 depending on what you like

Unless you're as good as the top players, just pick whatever race you think is fun. Also, SC2 Zerg isn't useless.

Infernals, in fact all factions seem pretty good so far and I think it's important to remember this is more than likely helping tune at a higher level before release. Super excited for release and to see how things go. Mulfs casts have been super interesting.

Every other Bo5 I have access to is VvV almost, because they were only slightly less broken than parting is. Careful what you wish for 😛
