They aren't like defilers so it's not like you can consume energy. 1 EMP on a pack of queens and they won't be casting for a LONG time. | ||

But that doesn't help! Zergs split queens or cast broodling BEFORE they get emp'd. | ||

Seems very odd that he wouldn't thumb down La Mancha as all the other maps are either balanced (yes, Dante's Peak SE is balanced, in standard leagues) or zerg favoured (lol Monte Cristo). Guess he feels like he has something to prove? | ||

Mostly because it's 5-1 so far and because the games have all been fairly easy for zerg, either late game rapes or early game ling disasters. Maybe the Ts just haven't been very good or been unlucky but I don't see any of the obvious turtle tactics working very well on Monte Cristo. For instance, it's harder for T to defend their nat and third at the same time on Monte Cristo than it was on Polaris while zerg can get to 3 gas + Hive on Monte Cristo without any significant difficulties. There are also no min-only expansions on Monte Cristo while Polaris Rhapsody has 4 of those. At worst, it looks balanced. But I'm probably wrong, since Hydra did most likely thumb it down. Flash will show us the truth about it anyway; If there's a way to efficiently turtle on it or kill off a zerg with a pre-defiler push, he will find it. | ||
