4. Jaedong went (I only counted once, and there were a lot of games. I may be off by one or two) 81-41 in 2008. Most valuable Zerg? You bet.

You know you can set a timeframe for the games in the TLPD right? IE Jan 01 2008 to Dec 31 2008, then you don't have to count

Excellent write-up, and I agree with most conclusions. Things like Savior going from a killing machine to a chump at ZvP, Stork going from a BARELY 50% PvZ to an at least decent level, really did help statistics.

Live for the swarm!

I think that every day there's more and more evidence that zero was just overachieving the first half of this round, rather than underachieving these last 3-4 weeks.


Hence...inconsistent. I'm not really sure what you're arguing against.

That's not being inconsistent, it's over achieving for a short period of time. Just because he is now playing more around his normal level doesn't make him inconsistent, just not as good as we all thought he was a few weeks ago.

get the fuck out to the guy who said zerg has a harder time coming back than terran and toss.

Toss and Zerg can harass BIG TIME, you also have great spellcasters that affect general areas. Only way for T to come back is to try to get someone to attack you or exp and hope they dont find it. If they just sit back and exp theres nothing you can do.


IMO zergs just need to abuse more, and macro harder ala the early savior days, especially vs mech. I dont get why mutas are made vs protoss either....seems like a huge waste when they FE. The zerg ends up being unable to harass and just gets run over by mass zeal anyway.
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

You get the fuck out. Watch some games. Terrans can bunker rush and fail, sunken break and fail, lose two dropships and fail and still comeback and win comfortably. In ZvT zerg is far more heavily punished by mistakes. If you can't see that then you're either blind or irretrievably terran-biased.

It seems that there will be plenty of zergs in the Ro16 for both the MSL and the OSL. The maps have changed to favor zerg, especially Tears of the Moon which prevents the FE build. A certain zerg-killing master is no longer around.

The swarm should be fine this time around. Hopefully we'll actually get to see some TvZs and PvZs this time around in the starleagues.

Meh

ever heard of muta and goon + cannon?

its very difficult to harass as terran, and if they set up a defense you really cant do shit, whereas reaver or muta can almost ALWAYS pick shit off.
