Zero looks like a real adult now, so much different from the scrawny kid with huge glasses that I remember him as haha. So cool that he's back, I basically missed his entire post-kespa career but he was always one of my favorite players to watch back in the kespa era.

Zero is back from military right? He has been streaming recently. Another strong zerg back in the lineup!

I love how the first thing he said was that his skills haven't plummeted like Calm's did.

So happy that Zero is back! The other Zergs don't seem to care much right now and mostly stream PUBG (looking at you JD) or not at all ;_;

Larva seems to be the biggest zerg streamer who still mostly plays 1v1s on stream. Calm seems to be super popular on afreeca compared to most BW players but mostly plays UMS. It's weird I was watching Soulkey's stream last night but he only had ~250 viewers and he was laddering. I guess he's just not a fun streamer personality-wise? Because he's pretty much the best zerg in korea right now so why don't more people watch him?

I cannot say for sure why Soulkey might be a less-popular streamer, as I do not understand Korean. But I do not see him interact with viewers that much. He is obviously focused on being the dominant player of this era, and it shows in the way he practices when he streams. He seems very serious and barely even smiles. Last time I watched one of his mukbangs I found myself wondering why anybody would watch it lol.

Then Calm, for example, plays goofy (imo) UMS maps and laughs, has a good time with his viewers and the people he is playing with. Same for Larva, except he performs a lot of silly antics and tries to make it entertaining in other ways. I mean, all these guys are playing at the highest level (maybe not Calm...) so watching them practice only goes so far when it comes to retaining viewership.

QUICK EDIT - It is also worth mentioning that a player like Calm had a pre-existing fanbase from his more glorious OSL and MSL days. Whereas Soulkey might not have that loyal following. I feel this is worth mentioning.

Calm is popular because he's hilarious, and his Random Ability Craft (popular UMS) games really took off. Calm, Shuttle, Where, and Effort were dubbed "Ranvengers" and played together the most. These days it looks like Snow is taking Shuttle's place.

And yeah for Soulkey he has a reputation for being very dull and boring. Skilled, yes, but not as funny as others. Mini has a similar problem as our Etemon look-a-like.

Speaking of Soulkey on his channel (Byuktube) he has videos of testing Zero's current skill level by watching him play against Horang2 and Light. Zero's actually not bad, and honestly he could return to his former skills pretty quickly. I'd link it myself but I'm on mobile.

Larva is losing a lot of those games ha! I love seeing Stork play well for some reason. Maybe it is because he has been doing so shit in tournament lately. I hope this Protoss metashift into Dark Archon gives him the tools he needs to compete at the highest level again.

Cross Game is def P favored vs Z. A lot of angles to attack from, easy to move army around and bases are easy to take/secure. Still not sure about Overwatch tho, high ground expos are troublesome vs Z, easy to sunk/lurk D bases. P can always split map and play defensive with reavs tho.

Yes, I feel that Cross Game is better for Protoss against Zerg after watching the pros play it out. I agree, there are simply too many angles of attack for the Z to defend them all effectively. I find this map quite boring to be honest. The position of the mineral-only bases are weird as well.

When I see those plateaus close to the second expansions on Overwatch, I immediately think "Hmm, that looks like a pretty niiiiice place to siege up some Tanks". That skinny bridge being the only other avenue out of your natural expansion makes it look like contain strategies will be strong here. I have not played it as Terran yet. Can you hit that third base from the plateau with tanks easily? Does anybody know?

I think P wants to go carriers vs T on Overwatch, going arb might be hard to pull off.
