They're having fun with these games. Think of the games as sponmatches but on LAN You are right ofc, but imo these players also have a responisbility to help the scene as a whole. It's nothing i am really upset about but i think they could have done a bit better. About Effort: I mean online he looks great but you also have to do it offline imo. JD's offline result was better, you cannot deny that. Also "best zerg" isn't only about ZvT, there are more matchups to consider. On February 19 2017 00:05 classicyellow83 wrote: Great news guys. Flash: I heard that sponsors are lined up to sponsor BW leagues. Even SpotTV is preparing something also. Afreeca has more sponsors lined up than they can handle. That sounds great, let's see what is happening  (OGN PLS) | ||

One player dominating a match up has little to do with balance and should never be the reason to take balancing actions. If others can replicate what he's doing then yes, of course. Now I don't know if that's the case right now, my point is: judging the whole TvZ by Flash is nonsensical. Like no one banned Nadal from clay courts in 2005-2013. Fighting Spirit has been an issue for zergs for the past several years. Circuit Breaker is also workings towards that direction. Zero won today because he was on a three spawn map with close rush distances where he was able to punish a greedy Terran player. 5rax can only be punished on FS and CB by two base mutas if Terran makes a large amount of mistakes. And I am not saying maps in response to flash but to state of TvZ in general. | ||

In the scenarios where the Zerg can't get map control to establish their third base, the game is pretty much already over. It isn't even semi-exciting in the "Let's root for the underdog" kind of way, because it is more like "Lets hope the Terran player has an aneurysm so the Zerg has a chance". | ||

Yeah, that's like watching FvZ when Flash was on top of his game, destroying zergs left and right before hive tech. Although we have to see more tournament games imho. There is probably a way to probably play against this, it just has to be figured out. If not, new maps would be a good idea to test out. | ||

Just like Win7 (published 2009) is better than Win10 (published 2015). funnily sponmatches ZerO is 3-0 over Flash this month (the only zerg with a winning record this month) :-) also inb4 windows fanboys | ||

It's funny how you as a terran immediately try to steer the argument towards PvZ. That's not what we are discussing about. Also what are you talking about? If protoss can't establish a third, he must be ridiculously behind. PvZ nowadays is either 3 base zerg vs 2 base zerg where no one has mapcontrol, or 4 base sim city zerg where protoss gets map control until zerg has enough to break out. | ||

Would've liked to know how it played out. I'm imagining something like ZerO offering to go if no one else wanted to and EffOrt finally saying he'll do it. | ||
