He's quite racially confused  Anyways, I also have a hard time looking for a Zerg player who has a consistent strength in ZvP compared to his other matchups. It seems that a lot of Zerg players are judged on their strength in ZvZ and ZvT, yet it is assumed that ZvP is hard for pretty much anyone, and that the players who are talented in ZvP are also quite talented in ZvZ and ZvT by comparison. I'm sure a Zerg hero will rise up soon. Back during GSL1, when Terran mech was dominating their way through the tournament, killing off Zergs left and right, Fruitdealer became the Zerg hero with a style crafted to pummel his way through the passive meching Terrans. Likewise, Nestea took up the reigns as the new Zerg hero in GSL2 when he had remarkably consistent play all the way to the finals, especially in ZvZ. I predict that the next Zerg GSL champion will have our long-awaited Zerg revolution in ZvP, for he must be able to defeat the almighty MC and other scary Protoss before being crowned champion. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + You thought Mondragon's roach vs Protoss air was new? Rofl. Also, Naniwa is a top top PvZ player. Far more indicative, (and far better series) than Mondragon vs Zeerax. | ||

Yet he sat back and let protoss take a 3rd base. If zerg sees protoss taking a 3rd, he has to keep all-in ing protoss until one of them loses. That's just how the game works. But idra took the whole map instead and that just doesn't work. You mean you wanted Idra to throw away a 300-food army in to two terrible chokes and then let the Protoss ball destroy what little he had left? There was no way Idra was going to break him in game 1. Cruncher was turtled up as perfect as can be. His deathball in the middle of his base nullified any drops and he was close enough to his 2nd/3rd base to just walk over there if he saw the Zerg approach. | ||

But idra took the whole map instead and that just doesn't work. I think that says so much about why I and others want a dominant zerg to come out. I think it speeks volumes about how much we NEED someone to show us how to do it if you CAN'T let a protoss get three bases. How sad is that? 3 bases means you win? I refuse to believe that you NEED to all in to win just because the protoss decides to take three bases, there has to be some way to fight the end game ball, because if there isn't, then Zerg vs Protoss will forever be a bad matchup (until maybe hots). It just seems unfair if that is the case, that you can't play a macro style, you have to all in and hope you get lucky and the protoss plays greedy. | ||

I still think a hard practicing IdrA who adopts and experiments with "new" play-styles could revolutionize Zerg. God, I hope he does. I need a hero! | ||

I think most people want a zerg to do well since they have been the weak race since the release of sc2 | ||

Zerg are just now beginning to experiment and regularly avoid themselves of the tactical and strategic options afforded by things like nydus and drop play. | ||
