I think the only time this matchup wasn't a rape was after the Bisu build became popular. It's pretty much back to fucked up though

it seems 5hatch hydra > FE esp when muta are out snipping ht. That game was a good example of why there was that huge thread about zvp being imbalanced, it seems like there was nothing Kal could do to overcome the huge hydra push that basically never ends.


Kal did make a mistake by losing the sairs and some probes early game. Then again, Effort did nothing special, except execute the standard build very well with his insane APM-macro. But in terms of strategy, ZvP doesn't require much thinking anymore. There are some standard builds that have no real counter and always put Protoss in trouble no matter what they do

The only "real" solution would be good use of reavers but against good zergs, that still isn't going to do much due to how little damage corsairs actually do and how tough mutalisks are.

Last Romantic has it right. not to mention the dts he made that did nothing.

3-0 incoming. Effort is just to dominating in zvp, while kal is weak in pvz(compared with his other MU). Just a perfect MU for Effort really!

First map was triathlon! Anybody who thinks like me and think that sair/reaver would have worked out well on that map? Easy third base and gas. And sair dominates air so drop at the easy third can easily be defended.

I see a major flaw in your plan.

Well, besides Effort playing really well, it did not look like Kal had a real gameplan. Build some Corsairs, build some templars, don't protect mineral line, run first 6lots+1goon thorugh the middle without sair support, so that mutas can easily damage them. Early probe kills didn't help either. Seems like he is choking again.

what bullshit is that? 1a2a3a hydras and toss can do nothing. They should be able to match zerg's army even w/o storms if not protoss got no chance at all.

1) Protoss has ALWAYS needed storms/reavers to have parity against Zerg in an army/army clash.

2) Kal used so much gas on useless corsairs - he built 7 or 8 over the course of the game, which killed maybe 6 scourge 3 ol and like 3 muta. Of course his ground army would be super weak as a result - that's 5 templar and 5 zlots right there.

Kal also lost about 4-5 probes to lings early

This is actually a really good point, although he needed something to defend his HTs from snipes(still didn't work). Maybe he needed some more Archons, more aggressive harrassment, and eehh Reavers? I feel like P always wins if they go Reavers and always loses if they don't

Watch Stork's PvZ from around January. He focuses mostly on sair/reaver to get a safe third then forms an unstoppable death ball of goons and reavers.

Indeed. Those were some great games.

Poor Kal, I hope he wins at least one game to not lose all confidence.

It's just that his PvZ was not meant to be to destroy Effort, Zero and Jaedong...
