I don't think Zero has a "best" or "worst" matchup, really.
Zero fighting.

Ok, someone in Korea who can talk to Zero (Nevergg, lilsusie, anyone???) needs to ask him where he got this strategy! I'm pretty sure he thought it up independently from village_idiot's guide but the coincidence is just too much for me. It would be LOLZ if he borrowed the guide

There's nothing I like seeing more than Bisu getting schooled... except when it happens to Jaedong. This interview got me really pumped up to see the games, way to go ZerO.

Yeah I was freaking out as i commented this game. I posted it in another thread so I wont post it here, but know thats its definitely worth watching if you havent seen it yet.

Queens vs Bisu + it actually working = most epic game of 2009

If ZerO can manage to avoid running into Jaedong/EffOrt he looks to have a great chance at making it as a royal roader. I've got a feeling he'll have to go through Jaedong at some point though, and we all know how that would probably end.

Thanks for the interview Konadora. Haha, he cant even hide the smirk on his face " I humiliated the best Toss in the world using Queens." I love Zero, he has become the most entertaining Zerg this season, he will win OSL if he doesnt run into JD or Leta in a bo5.


you saying he will beat fantasy or Bisu in a Bo5? o.O


As for Bisu, the map pool is fairly zerg favored in ZvP. And if you think that doesn't matter, just look at how Fantasy defeated Bisu in the last OSL, and how Luxury dismantled Jangbi in the MSL.

I think a Zero vs Fantasy would be awesome, as both are known to be very good at strategies. But ZvT is Zero's best matchup.



eh, zeros worst matchup is zvt. He could definitely take Bisu and Fantasy in a bo5 depending how he is playing.

KING OF QUEENS.


You can't just look at TLPD percentages for this stuff. Zero has improved his ZvT dramatically since he first came to the scene. His ZvZ decision-making is quite lacking, even if his micro is amazing. Between his ZvT and ZvP, when I watch his games I find his ZvT much more smooth than his ZvP. Although he's had some clunkers in ZvTs recently.

I dunno why you mentioned fantasy vs bisu last osl

not only was that tvp, maps were tough but still doable. the main reason bisu got 3-0ed instead of something like 3-2 was cus fantasy deviated from the usual t1 terran style. He got turrets set up extremely early.


Only to show map balance could lead to a lesser player beating a superior player. It was the series that came to my mind, as I don't want to keep thinking back to historical ZvPs.

I didnt just look at TLPD, I just think his ZvT is most fragile, then again it is ZvT, but all of his matchups are relatively close.

Just watched, very nice Queen usage... IMO it seems like Zerg is the last race to hit their full potential, lots of good Zergs nowadays rather than just 1 hero at a time.

I wonder if this is just a one time strategy, or it could work well as a build order in games. He said the zerg is weak before queens get the energy, but it seems like they worked so well in that game.

TY for the translation kona!

Queens usage was really cool, I wish he could have elaborated a bit more on the timing for the queens

Best candidate for a royal road for sure . Yeah like others have said if he avoids the other ZvZ experts he has a good chance at royal roading this OSL .

Edit: uh forgot Effort so yeah , Zero is the second best royal road candidate if effort manages to get out of his group .
