Keep saying this nonsense....and they use superlative with such a nonchalance...much much better... | ||

Thats why toss needs a corsair to fly over zergs base and see if they are making hydras , or pumping drones, or tech to lair | ||

Edit: oh, doesn't attack, I read: "fails attack" nvm | ||

If toss puts a million cannons and zergs take 4th(as in 9734) and places a few sunkens while droning, then zerg is ahead ! | ||

(I haven't watched a lot of pro SCBW) usually zergs just keep protoss contained while fending off corsairs and going into another expansion. protoss goes for a one-big-army push with zealots goons and HTs after playing defensively, and zergs will use this opportunity to use mutalisks to snipe HTs. generally that's how the flow goes | ||

The only thing worse is mechanics, because they don't play 12 hours a day anymore. Still very impressive to see professionals play mid and late game. The micro/macro/decision making is still astonishing to witness. | ||

(I haven't watched a lot of pro SCBW) Yeah, protoss is behind either way unless he manages to precisely predict the exact amount of cannons to block the exact amount of hydras zerg decided to build. I personally think that the danger and the Zergs' ability to do these kind of burst was the main reason why ZvP was(is) so favorable for zergs throughout the broodwar history, since, protosses could (can) only lose or go even in the first 10 minutes with the zergs, they do not have a winning move outside of zergs fucking something major up | ||

Although I think there is some genuine confusion here because Tastosis think that the general advanced strategies mean that each individual player is on a much higher level. Absolutely speaking that may be true but it doesn't make much sense to see it this way because strategy always evolves. Relatively speaking, they are not on a higher level. I mean, compare it to the time between 2000 and 2010. Strategies were obviously evolving at a high pace and were much more elaborate in 2007. However, on top of that, mechanics, sharpness etc. of the individual players also improved a lot. I have no doubt that the mechanics of a B-class pro player in the 2009/2010 era would have dominated the scene of 2000... | ||

And Jaedong was 100% better in the past | ||

The reason for historical imbalance in PvZ is multifold. | ||
