His perseverance always helped him out in impossible situations and I haven't seen Movie play for at least half a year. He might suck, regardless of what the map is. So while I agree with your general sentiment, I think giving literally 1% without exaggeration is a tad bit too much. Do you know why Movie hasn't been playing/streaming? | ||

No, sadly, I don't have any idea and I haven't been following his stream/life before so I don't know what might have happened. I just noticed end of last year that he didn't upload any new content to his YT anymore (https://www.youtube.com/user/JmoviestarTV/videos) and that he also didn't manage to participate in ASL4. Still, it's of course great to see him qualify and I hope he won't suck. I wish him no bad. | ||

Zerg is at late game that so weak, special is air units. But first game and mid game, Zerg can use everything to win, this is easier than Terran and Protoss. My view is Protoss > Terran > Zerg on the Sparkle map. But I believe that 50% Zerg players are still through Ro24. | ||

And let's not mention plague. New sparkle is a good zerg map, only a few days away i am excited for asl | ||

Except I've watched several massive devourer balls get obliterated by sairs. I keep thinking, "You're supposed to have a few devourers, and back it up with a ton of mutas." But since the top zergs in the world haven't been doing that, I conclude they know something I don't. Devourers have an absurdly slow attack speed. If you get opponents covered in lots of purple goo, though, mutas just melt whatever it is. I saw JD employ this strat successfully once. It won, but wasn't as effective as I had been thinking. But it looked like he had too many devs and not enough mutas. He separated the mutas. I suppose this is wise against 20+sairs. Clearly a pain to do. | ||

I don't understand Acid Spores of Devourer. Anyone explains it for me, please. My strategies for Zerg players who will be against Terran and Protoss on the Sparkle map, at the ASL5 Zerg vs Terran Because of Air units of Terran are very strong whole game. Zerg should control map and getting win by economic. With Sunken Colony and Spore Colony at first game and then Defiler, Hydralisk, Lurker at mid game. Late game, Zerg is just mass Mutalisk to end game. Of course, Zerg takes win game. Zerg vs Protoss Because of Corsair unit of Protoss is the their key. I choose Hydralisks to fight with them. It will look like Zerg vs Terran, Zerg will be win by economic. Zerg control almost the map and defend it with Hydralisks and Defiler. Zerg will difficult to dropping into Protoss' base but It's easier than when Zerg drop others one. Zerg need to mass Devourer and Guardian to take win Protoss players. | ||

Compare the damage output from a mutalisk after ricochet. 9-3-1, vs 18-12-10 to a maximally soaked unit. Spores also reveal cloaked units and slightly increase cooldown. | ||

It has had several revisions because the early versions were seen as Zerg graveyards. The current version is more favorable for Zerg because a center island that formerly contained two vespene geysers, which Terran or Protoss always claimed, has been removed. The jury is still out on whether the map is balanced. Recently, on Jaedong's YouTube channel, + Show Spoiler + he beat Rain 2-1 and Shuttle 2-0, with all games on the new version, and looked good doing it. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic, although I think it's really inelegant that there's a geyser that literally only Zergs can build on. | ||

And the island map is hype! Although it's a shame for the zergs. Zergs struggled so much on island maps, and sair reaver is pretty op. Is random or race picking allowed these days? | ||

Need to sticky threads like this in "other games" or make a full remastered tab for the forum. Bw and Remastered are not the same thing. | ||
