ZerO + YellOw[ArnC] any b-team zerg who randomly gets a proleague appeareance. That being said I'm a shine fan, the "new generation zergs" only use mutas and zerglings and (if they get past the 15 min mark) transition into ultraling with a couple defilers while massing cows. Shine is not such a player, he just often delays his hive while mass expoing and keeping his opponent contained, I don't see anything wrong or boring with that. The current state of ZvP sees players trying to push out and harass with shuttles or hydralisk drops while containing/being contained which gives a lot of "ooh" moments, and reavers come into play with lots of different roles, not only as a harassment unit which needs constant micro and as base defense (olololol no micro 40 zergling kills totally balanced) to help protoss' simcity but also as a big part of your push. Templars/Reavers/Zealots>Zerglings>Goons>Lurkers>Archons/(Zealots)>Mutas>Templars/Reavers PvZ is based on units countering eachother, when your opponents gets too many units of one kind you get the unit that counters them, and tech switches (should) keep happening. Hey, at least the 3 hat mutas into 5 hat hydras we are seeing today isn't the "3-hat allin muta micro OLOLOLOL Yarnc wins a ZvP OLOLOLOL" it used to be when it first came out. The most particular thing about shine is that he can decide to push with mutas, use them as an actual part of his army by keeping a sufficient amount that he can kill shuttles, sairs, clumped observers as well as zealots on the main battlefield, muta micro + active lurker control + A-moving hydras is very APM-intensive and pretty hard when you try it. Lots of people seem to forget that mutas are an absolute bane to zealots, mutas weren't normally used in PvZ when zeal/archon push was the main mid-game strategy from the protoss player. Right now toss will spend his gas on more reavers and templars for storms and will only turn his templars into archons when he is sure he broke the zerg's front and he knows that storms would be pointless to have to break a simcity. With only storms and goons to attack his mutas the flying shrimps become a much more efficient (although larva-requiring) unit. It's a trend switch, deal with it. (<3  Movie and Shine,  Flash always cheeses whenever he has to win (like when he was eliminated from the last OSL Ro16 and 8-raxed EffOrt, eliminating him)) | ||

I thought we where better than this... Couldn't agree more. | ||

It was a still a really fun and epic game. Sports fans blame the refs when their favourite team loses, SC players blame... the opponent for somehow not playing how he's supposed to. Hahahaha. | ||
