Fanatacist or probe, 1v1 me if you feel I am so bad and without knowledge. I'll play you any match up.


Ok lets go iccup. I'll be protoss you be whatever race you want. My nick is Zork. Find me and let's play. Or PM me when you want to play.

Also what name calling? I didn't call you any names.

Pro statistics show that zerg has a slightly better win rate in this match up. Although maybe Z > P in the pro world, I don't think this reflects the balance of the match up anywhere else.

In my opinion zerg has the most potential out of any race because they require the most actions and is harder to play a "pefect" game. Consider a "Normal" zvp requires you have to drone up through at least 3 hatches with inconsistent larvae timing as opposed to the standard 2 nex or 2 cc scv/probe production. It is less likely for a zerg to macro perfectly than a Terran or Protoss that is attentive to worker production.

The rest of the world can't even come close to playing a perfect zerg game which is why I believe that the match up isn't as imbalanced as some people think. I'm not positive but it seems like most of the top foreigners play Terran and Protoss and not Zerg. I haven't been following starcraft forever but this is my take. Perhaps someone has any information on non-korean starcraft to shed some light on this?

EDIT: evidently there are a lot of top foreign zerg players. This doesn't at all change my opinion that ZvP isn't as imbalanced as others think.

You didn't take the multiple facts/rax/gates of T's and P's into account at all, or the fact that there's always been a consensus on ZvP being imbalanced, mainly because of the difficulty of scouting the zerg with toss and the sudden tech changes that can be made by them due to all their units coming from the same building.

There's also the fact that Zerg simply doesn't need to make as many peons as Terran or Protoss does too.

Even though T and P needs to make more peons I find it easier to macro perfectly with T and P even though I play mostly Z these days. With T or P you don't have to think about macro. Just always have 1 worker making. You have to choose between worker and unit with zerg as well as larvae doesn't appear at the same time at all your hatches. Even if you are switching from your hatches at 300+ apm there is still gonna be seconds here and there that could have been saved from making the drone faster. With T and P if you always have a worker making there is no way to have macroed faster.

Edit: nobody please respond to this anymore...I'm new here and didn't realize how many of these threads existed.

Yea since clearly everything I said was from my personal perspective and not from an objective one. You are one of the most persistent idiots I have seen that hasn't been banned yet. Keep it up, maybe after 2-3 more threads about this same topic that you are consistently wrong about people will finally get the message that you're useless.

you are right evan. it's just childish how he resorts to personal attacks when he has run out of ideas. This kid is probably like 17 and takes this game way too seriously

It's not hard to resort to personal attacks when you don't even bother to listen to his points and address them.

It's fucking frustrating when you have the perfect points lined up that effectively knock over the other person's arguments AND YET, they STILL find a way to get around it with some stupid retort.

Btw, what if your idea about there being a lot of great Zerg players rising up isn't true?.What if it's the, OH I DON'T KNOW, the IMBALANCE?
