The only hope I see for the zerg right now is to beat the terran in early/mid game before his mech army is fully established. If the game gets to late game without the zerg having a significant advantage....pretty much autoloss for the zerg unless the terran does something terribly stupid.
Yeah and T mech has 0 mobility while Z armies leap across the map.
Your point? Everyone always agreed BW was more or less balanced with the little variations.
If you are going to blame anything, blame the maps. Is this a shitty trend where people cry imbalance or something when they/their favorite player loses?
To be honest it's getting tiring fast.

Is it just me or were the queens actually effective and not BM?
It was very difficult for JD to actually kill the CC because Light always could reinforce and force JD back before the CC was dead. The queen essentially did like 300 HP of damage to finish off the CC.
Couldn't light have just target fired the queen?

can someone tell me
when jd is going to play effort for WCG ?

So sick. Now just don't choke in the final game... After watching these games, you still imply that JD would have to "choke" to lose to Light? -_- fanboys will be fanboys, I suppose.
Because Jaedong is the better player, a fantastic series aside?

i dont get whats so special? sure it's a smart move by jd indeed and he was able to pull it off successfully in a situation he needed to win, but nothing like OMG WTF I JIZZ MY PANTS BRB CHANGING kind of reaction lol
OK. What starcraft play is worth that reaction? 
|
That was a cruel play by Jaedong and exactly the psychological move that he needs going into game 5. Bravo.

Pimpest play?

I wonder if Light can keep his shit together enough to play like set's 2 and 3. I really hope not, I've never been so nervous for Jaedong in my whole life. The MSL execs must be losing their minds
|
So why is it when Jaedong wins without doing anything, he wins the entire world over and then some, and when Light wins "without doing anything," he's a villain?

Maybe queens will become standard one day.
Ensnare has so many applications, cc has a few, and so does broodling. Pros have discussed it before that proper queen usage mixed in with the army is simply too apm intensive. Couple that with the fact that getting enough energy to spawn broodling takes quite a while and they're not the best unit out there. They can get some fun play out of them from time to time, but nothing standard.
Look at zero though. He uses queens in half his ZvZ games to some success. I've seen some good bio rape with ensnare too.
Also, Infested cc can take a cc at half health, which isnt too micro intensive.

I am happy with this series. Now all i need to see are wraiths and i will be happy

Queen can infest with 749 HP.
And yeah, I didn't even think it was BM when I saw it. I still don't. In that one move, Light's econ went to shit. All he had was his main, which would soon be mined out.

Doesnt ensnare diminish the attack rate of Goliaths by 50%?
Goliaths are one of the few units not affected by Ensnare in terms of firing rate.
