Snow saying that Zero and Action are bad, and giving them advice to use defilers in zvp :D

That's like some of foreign bw commentators' golden insights.

I mean look at most ZvPs from 2010-2011, late game defilers were normal - seems weird they're not anymore!

...what? Snow said nothing of the sort. Horang2 talked a little bit about defilers, and Snow said Zero should be less predictable (everyone agreed on this, actually).

Prepared competitive games have an extra dimension that normal ladder games dont usually have. Its much about analyzing your opponent, coming up with a suitable play and theres also alot of mindgames involved. Some players are better than other players at that so thats an extra factor to take into consideration.

Also reminds me of how until around 2010/2011 it was totally normal for zergs to use ultras in late-game ZvP. Then some point around then they all realized that hydra/lurker/ling was just way more cost-efficient I guess?

But yeah definitely feels like late-game zvp doesn't happen often enough.

Thanks for the sub jinjin!

The problem with Z's is they can win way too easily just making hydras ZvP, so funny

Thanks again! The way they differentiated some of the Zs and their styles by switching around the macro - all-in components was really interesting, never really thought it that way.

Defilers in late-game ZvP are still totally standard unless I’m watching all the wrong games.
May the BeSt man win.

It seems like nowadays PvZs at the pro level are more likely to end before defilers than in past years. Feels like I haven't seen too many long split-map games with reaver-archon vs defiler-crackling recently. Can anyone shed some insight into this?

And here I thought that if I would ever see Snow and Shine talk about why Zero hasn't won a tournament yet, they'd just empathize and bond with him over getting swept in the finals by Flash.

Thanks for the translation though, I love hearing their insights!

Defilers are def used late game zvp mainly for plague. When commentating on stream, pro players often joke about zerg being OP when a good plague hits saying it did 2000 damage. Dark swarm is also used but it's more for destroying buildings and canons.

I love how snow talks about good tosses in the beginning but doesn't mention Rain (unless he was talking about Tosses in the current ASL season)

I LOVE shine's face.

Ah this is fun. Cmon Snow do better so you can keep being sassy.


Thankyou for the TL!
