Zerg opens with a tool who can kill Protoss immediately. Protoss holds, but still is not ahead. Zerg turtles up. 4 base Protoss is supposed to be favored against 4 base Zerg, but still can not kill Zerg. Protoss denies Zerg at one corner, then another corner, it still expands at the other. Then we get 6 base Protoss vs 6 base Zerg, which actually favors Zerg because all the right Protoss units can't be at the right place at the right time every time, while Zerg can. It's the only matchup in the game where the less mobile but stronger army is not ahead of the more mobile weaker army when both are on the same economy. Just replace Protoss to Terran you will see an amazing thing. It's still right at all! It takes 27 years to everyone knows StarCraft is not balance game and Zerg is the best race in all matchup, all stage in the game. | ||

He just doesn't seem to have that killer instinct when the games go long. Maybe he gets tired? | ||

Was he the guy who threw a basically won game by losing a shuttle full of reavery goodness to a missile turret? I guess it’s just hard enough stepping up on stage, and mentally even tougher if you’ve had a few rough ones. I imagine adrenaline can carry you pretty far too, but perhaps in a long game your mentality shifts a bit from doing your plan and trying to win, versus trying not to lose or throw. | ||

He did it again in the last game. But yes, at least Zerg has the tools to do so. Terran a little bit. Protoss lol. | ||

Didn't do any stupid shit, didn't throw away army, decent storms, kept trying to deny Zerg expansion while expanding himself, good reactions to Zerg's shenanigans. I think he played a standard, solid game. But playing solid doesn't win you games vs late game turtle Zerg. You have to play amazingly. The only big criticism is probably the late transition to Reaver. 2 Reavers during that big attack to top right would seal the game for him, perhaps. | ||

BTW I'm hoping everyone saw the double maelstrom on the lurkers in YSC vs Action. Imagine if there were a storm or even some zealots there..WOW. My head woulda exploded. | ||

But he still doesn't understand SC so shame t.t There is no Zerg worthy of advancing in the first 4 groups. And my opinion is not based on Zerg advancing, but on the manner that game played out. You neither have reading comprehension nor a logical argument. But yeah keep on whining because you can't win against your Protoss peers. | ||

But he still doesn't understand SC so shame t.t I mean neither do I on a high level but hey. I like to think at this stage I’ve a decent layman’s understanding but nothing beyond that. YSC got to a decent spot against Action, but he didn’t seem to have any great ideas on how to actually win. His Reaver transition was quite late and he lost a couple being out on the map, versus sitting untouchable behind cannons with a few temps. sSak and Action was full of blunders on both sides that could have cost either the game, but when it came to crunch time Action grinded it out that bit better. He caught what 2-3 drops with diligent Ovie spread and scourge hitsquads while barely clinging on. Sure BW isn’t 100% balanced for all scenarios, few games are not even chess. But if ever there’s a day where good play triumphing over and above balance was the differentiator, today’s one of those days. | ||

Like hey, Charles Dickens, there's a typo on page 437 of Tale of Two Cities! Uhmm, hello???? Anyone gonna do something about this??? This game is a mosquito with DINO DNA trapped inside of an amber chamber. Anyone who complains should be forced to watch 72 hours of Battle Aces with their eyelids stapled open Clockwork Orange style. Then maybe they'll appreciate fresh water and toilet paper again.
