Not a very good game from a spectator's standpoint because not much strategy was involved and all Soo did was make units and exchanged armies. Nice lurker fields and scourging observers I guess, but he threw away a lot of units throughout the game. Know which lings aren't under swarm!!
Stork... sigh... arbiter? really? you cocky little... Good game for Soo though.
lol what are you talking about, this game was very entertaining. Note Soo's decision to not take his fourth and fifth gas. At first I thought it was a terrible mistake, but eventually I realized that it was part of Soo's strategy to only focus on lings/defiler, since he judged (correctly I'd say) that more gas intensive units like Ultras and mass Lurker/Hydra would've been much less cost effective and potentially lose him the game.

That Snow guy won't get around the imbalances in PvZ, no matter how good he is.

oh yeah, stork's recall was horrible and wasted a lot of units
plus perhaps it's not as exciting to watch but soo showed his skill by keeping stork's army from growing too large and cutting it down whenever it moved out. it's not just something any zerg would have automatically pulled off
soo's nice plagues also really softened up stork's army

Stork had 200 most of the game but he couldn't go out... so i guess he turned to recalling...

Statistically that Snow guy isn't that good at PvZ

Some of you have ridiculously high standards for a good game.
what?
4 gas p, i think i can expect some rvr at an expo for defending purposes
its not that hard to tech and build and it would have been of great help against lurkers too
but ofc why should i build them when i can get arbitersssssssssss

mmm that game was all Stork not being able to hold his expos. It's not easy, but the current protoss metagame just isn't cutting it lategame
what happened to Nal_ra style 8+ reavers crawling across the map blowing shit up

I'd have to say that I really dislike the 2 gate speedlot build, which is usually deflected easily by competent zergs and gives not much of a good reward for the Protoss if he doesn't do some damage, other than very temporary map control.

Stork is way past his prime. He lost. No reason to pull the "race imba" card.

Jangbi vs Hyuk - time for another T1 ZvP win!
This is odd to watch.

Cmon though, ZvP is pretty ridiculous.

This has nothing to do with Stork. If you can't see how the PvZ metagame is stupidly imbalanced right now...

Damn T1 is really relying on its zergs to pull through. If you told me just 6 months ago this would happen I would have called you a lunatic.
Jangbi the purple toss at 1.5
Soo the white zerg at 7.5
