Seriously
Stop trolling
Movie had 270 apm that game and Zero fucked up the game by funnelling 3 groups of hydras through a small choke vs goon/reaver and stacking lurks vs reavers

Movie style is quite gimmicky and allinish and if you defend vs the harass well you can counter it quite easily by powering 3base since he gets a extremely late 3rd, his play is pretty much a 2base power hanbang all in. Here is how to counter Movie 101

"And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense, or decency, or self preservation, but for friendliness."

So... is there a solution to the hideous rape that is muta/scourge? Six corsairs are clearly insufficient, as Zerg can match the +1 air attack with +1 air carapace (and then beat it with +2, because Protoss's +2 requires a Fleet Beacon) and have complete air control if he sends in a few mutas first to tank for his scourge.

Does Protoss just have to wait for 12-18 corsairs if the opponent fights for air dominance?


Click T on there mutalisks with a high templar, or better yet click M(or R, don't know the hotkey) on 2 templars and click the middle of the mutas.

They complement corsairs pretty well.

Good point.

I also forgot that you can click B and then C a few times, and you will have a huge block of photon cannons, thereby negating mutalisk.
My strategy is to fork people.

Zero's mistakes (as I see them)

1. funnelled his forces so they can be blasted

2. pressed early enough that his 4 base advantage couldn't pay off

3. Said 4 base advantage cost him larva which he was pumping drones not units, his army was undersized

IMO Zero missed his window when Movie was transferring to mass goon/zlot

He had only 2 drones at his fourth base . He was making units from the 2 hatcherys there .

Yeah there is an imbalance to ZvP. You guys serious? Even a couple of progamer zergs (Savior and Jju comes to mind) have said that ZvP is EZ.

If you can't see that ZvP is imbalanced you're either a zerg player, play at low levels or haven't watched enough Starcraft games through the years.

Q: You have a match vs Bisu tomorrow.
A: I think he’s the best PvZ player. I think I was lucky when we last met, so I’m preparing hard for this meeting.I think it’s going to be a difficult duel, but Zerg vs Protoss is so favorable for zerg these days that I think I can win.

Yes but it's only imbalanced at higher up levels, and the imbalance is more maps allowing for it to happen.

The reason i respond and get annoyed to people who complain about pvz constantly is because half of them try to use it as an excuse for why they lose PvZ at lower levels


EDIT: Also savior and calm said ZvT is hard for zerg, to combat JJu and Shine saying its easy for zerg vs protoss. Do you see 50 threads and posts every time a terran beats a zerg?

Fixed.

Also as someone pointed out

Shine has mentioned in his post-game interview that ZvP is easy for Zergs.


With even Bisu saying that he feels his PvZ is quite vulnerable lately, there is definitely a problem with the current metagame.

Are you serious? You must be a protoss player for that kind of ignorance imo. You must not realize that some people think certain matchups are easier to people. I struggle very much at zvz and my zvp goes off and on to either I am doing good vs protoss's or I lose to them a lot. Man your post lmao.

I think we are talking about the progamer scene and not about some wannabe sc player.

Yup, but ZvT isn't as hard as PvZ is, especially on these new bigger maps. When zerg can take 3-4 gas on his side of the map while terran is pumping of two bases, things could get serious fast for terran. There's a reason we're seeing so many ZvT:s with Ultralisks on big maps, and that's because it's relatively easy for zerg to secure alot of gas.

Zerg has lurkers, defilers and ultralisks; three units that really can own a terran hard. What does protoss have against zerg? Reaver, sure. DT:s, sure. But DT:s usually don't make that much damage because of all the overlords spying everywhere. The other protoss units are so fragile and susceptible to flanks and getting surrounded. You can often see zerg basically running protoss over with units while protoss is microing hard and working on his unit composition. Zerg just sends in hydras and lings in masses, not to mention the hydra cannon-breaks, I've stopped counting the amount of times I've seen that. It's ridiculous how a so-so zerg can own a superior protoss with these builds.

Anyways, back to my point about ZvT. Lurkers are a very strong unit against terran and usually keeps him at bay until defiler arrives, then just turtle up on your bases and tech to ultras. Ultras in ZvT I feel are a little bit like carriers in PvT, VERY powerful units. When I see lots of ultras pop out I'm usually pretty sure that the zerg will win the game. Also, Terran needs to multi-task, and micro hard in ZvT. Besides muta harass, there is not the same emphasis on micro in ZvT.
Zerg doesn't have to move around 5 control groups of units all the time, units that die to one lurker spine attack.

Btw, I'm oversimplifying etc. I know ZvT is hard, but not as hard as PvZ imo. If zerg can hold their own in early/mid-game ZvT, ultras arrive to save the day. Defilers and dark swarm are also super good against Terran.

Then I guess you fall into the "play at low levels" and/or "haven't watched enough Starcraft games through the years" categories?

TvP is way more inbalanced (for terran) these days than PvZ imho...I wonder why nobody talks about that.
