Never mind that just mere ~6 months ago, Zerg OP was being screamed in every korean forum for nearly a year across until recent dip of form on Zerg progamers across board

Well the zerg support group is certainly a rare sight Usually it's the Terrans that whine about their race being the hardest, while the Tosses say they never win tournaments...

From a Terran perspective it's interesting to hear them whine talk about the downside of the larva mechanic (which is well known of course, but still as a reminder), like that your decisions on what to build now can come back to haunt you soon after, more so than with the other races who can at least cancel and switch the production. Even more than that, Zergs' lack of a unit-queue for when you're busy microing never really occured to me.
Of course here they don't point out the strengths that come with it, like the possibility of quick tech-switches and sudden mass-unit production, and that you save money and space because you don't have to build so many production buildings.

I've been saying this for awhile..

It's amazing that some Terrans continue to complain with ASL being what it is for years now...

Great video! Hope for more of those! #SpeakTheTruth!

Queuing comment is kinda bs. Zerg have the best system for that. Busy microing and then you can suddenly make 3 units at once. BOOM. Not skipping a beat. It's much better than queuing 3 non-worker units.

Zergs can micro first and then build units, Terran and Protoss need to do it before or during micro.

You have to look all around the map to make units, terran and toss can just look at their main.

A lot of tongue in cheek stuff, but the bit about Soma going to the army is actually true though. JD Queen Hero are all 33 now and declining. Soulkey only one year younger but unmotivated (he doesn't practice much).

But it's not like the Terrans are much younger though. I feel like if top Korean BW continues for 2-3 years and Royal goes to the army as well, no one can match Snow and Mini. They are the two youngest players who already fulfilled military service.

It's also the maps. Mapmakers started adding ridiculous simcity for toss/terran to simcity their nat, 1 gap wall for zealot to go in, cannona'ble naturals, and wide open choke for zergs to defend. Result? only soma performing decently.

80 IQ toss and whiny terrans need to give in and comply with possible extinction of zergs.

Don't just focus on ASL results. You gotta look at eloboard to see 500+ games stats and see how all races are performing. Zergs are at all time low right now. This is where lot of pros get their income anyways. ASL is kinda like an event now.

Well, larva mechanic means you only need to check production around once per 40 seconds, but you can't queue.
So this leads to a micro advantage in the mid game(when the opponent cannot afford to queue and maintain map presence), but a disadvantage form late mid game.

There's a trade off in everything.
