My think that Bisu might be overworked? Not saying Hero playing bad but Protoss have been having some problem v Z in the last mouth.

The number of games since the beginning of December. Of these, I think Leta handles the overworking the best, but might crumble just like Flash did.

You're kind of right but good players play a lot... Hmm.

BOOOOOOOOOM.
by.hero laid down the BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

He takes out Boxer in the GOM, now takes out Bisu in the OSL, he's a 1-man SKT killing machine. Me likey .

I'd been just biding my time waiting for a zerg to advance, but I sure as hell wasn't expecting this.

Last 80 tvz's: terran 56 wins, zerg 24 wins.

This is arguably why jaedong is the best starcraft player ever.

But yea tvz is easily the most imba matchup now and historically.

A lot of those Zerg losses came from Andromeda which severly favors Terran TvZ, look at Medusa's TvZ record. It can go both ways, it's not Zerg having a non map dependent advantage it's the maps favoring them. Race's being favored on maps changes like clockwork, soon enough there will be maps that favor Z over P.

You also need to count in that Zerg's are playing terribly overall, it's not all race imbalance/map imbalance. It's Zerg's not adapting to different styles, going all-in every game with some 2 hatch build will only work 50% of the time.

Stop posting in this thread unless you give the players more respect.

Furthermore you could easily say the same thing about Bisu regarding the MSL.

Zergs has actually not played that bad v P im pretty sure about that. And if you actually watch games by the lesser know Z like Shine, Zero, Saint, type-b, great are actually really good players.
T have only slighty better topp 30 I would say. And even if it is true that Z are playing terrible 56 - 24 is way to high to make that of a diffrent. More so if you look at the top T almost everone have there best MU against Z. Z are not playing bad against Protoss thats for sure. It might only by temporary we just have to wait and see.

BIsu overworked? lol? Everyone has proleague to worry about. When you are in 2 or more semi-finals at the same time versus multiple matchups, then that argument is valid. Bisu lost, so has Stork, Jangbi, Free and Kal in the recent weeks. Get over it.

  • Protoss do one base builds, they are successful on maps with really short rush distances like Requiem. They also succeed on island maps for obvious reasons. But on maps with long distances, easily defendable naturals, or cliffs, Protoss gets owned by lurkers and late game ZvP.

    yup

  • FEs begin to be used (started by Nal_rA) but are never really effective, as they give the Z way too much map control and the timing attack (most often +1 speedzeal) is easily dealt with by Zerg lair tech.

    half true; maps like guillotine and forte allowed FE play and was preferred on those maps- it was a situational build not an everything build

  • It gets even worse with Savior at the top. Even though no other Zergs are showcasing the type of dominance Savior does, it still feels impossible. Savior takes the map, turtles with lurkers and scourge, and then plows you over late game with ultras. Best case scenario? Allin or elimination race like Nal_rA did on peaks. The true dark ages of PvZ.

    Half true; Dark ages for Protoss came before savior with the era of July/Gorush. With the savior era you begin to see a number of new protoss player flourish. Only other decent zvp'er at this time was silver (lol?)

  • Bisu shows up and introduces FE and corsair play. Corsairs absolutely rape Zerg. Read this thread for why: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=60959. Protoss start FEing every single time, and one base play 100% dies.

    Bisu did not introduce FE play. FE play was commonplace well before Bisu played savior (e.g Anytime vs GGplay/Gorush from Shinhan 2 OSL). A number of variations for the FE existed; 5gate +1 speedlot attack (Most Protoss e.g. Bisu in 06), Corsair/Zealot (Anytime), Reaver/Sair (on maps with easy third gases) and the Corsair/DT build (later popularized by Bisu). Protoss winrate vs Zerg starts to climb towards the end of 2006 with Protoss like Daezang showing real flair in PvZ (pioneered "bisu build" on Blitz). Bisu rapes savior, Protoss realize how good corsairs are and all variations of FE open with Stargate from here on (bar the occasional deviation).

  • Protoss players experiment with FE openings, all involving one or more corsairs, with reaver variants, dark templar variants, timing attacks with goons, etc.

    Partially true; they had already experimented a great deal with these openings (particular dragoon timing attacks). The most notable build to evolve during this time is the Sair/Reaver opening into standard ground play (previously sair/reaver usually meant it dominated early/mid game play, now it was just early). Protoss still very much followed the traditional bisu through this time.

  • Jaedong comes up with a build on blue storm that exploits the corsair timing, by going 3 hatch spire and doesn't built mutas, but only scourge to stop corsairs while adding more hatches and drones and expos. THEN he switches to mass ground in time for the first Protoss attack, mixing in better, more efficient dark swarm and plague usage than ever before.

    Partly true, 815 the master of Blue Storm found the timings to exploit Protoss on this map. Jaedong used this one on Blue Storm only. Jaedong dropped this style after this game and focused on the popular 4hatch-hydra-lair variation and won the MSL with this style. Zerg still generally struggle to deal with Protoss macro.

  • Protoss get better at playing versus this, massing critical corsair numbers and using the reaver-FE variant which has become far more popular than the sair-dt opening. the "passive" protoss style of small-scale reaver-sair harass while taking bases and building a huge one-punch army is prevalent among all tosses now. Free, Bisu, and others incorporate more late game reavers into their armies to deal with ultraling better. Zergs respond with more dswarm and plague.

    July rapes Best on Andromeda using the spire before hydraden build using scourge to snipe corsairs. This style of play becomes widely adopted on Andromeda and is quickly developed on other maps as well (becomes dominate Zerg style). Reavers has also grown in popularity from Nal_ra vs Savior on Peaks and were largely accepted as the late game weapon of choice of DA (see a number of Tau Cross games). Swarm plague came more in the Jaedong style between January-May 2008

  • Zerg haven't fully responded, but it seems the next step is burrow hydra / burrow ling (infolings!) and possibly parasite to deal with the harass, into mass hydra (with less lurkers) to allow for more mobility, aggressiveness, and exploitation the delayed storm. Not really sure how this will go yet.


Again, not quite true. Recent trends amongst protoss have favored the 4gate 2archon variation which gives a very strong pressure attack, but also includes 1 corsair for scouting purposes. Zerg have almost solved this as indicated by the rising winrate (notably on Destination) using a 3hatch -> lair -> spire -> hydraden build (similar to the one Jaedong/815 was using a long time ago). Zerg also begin to take expansions more freely to rival the protoss economy (previously Corsair/DT play prevented taking the 4th base due to geographical distance and overlord speed). Zerg also lessen emphasis on Hive tech units (defiler-lurker-ling combination of Jaedong) and begin to focus more on Lair tech and the "Neo-Sauron Zerg" style. Thus far the Neo Sauron has just about leveled the ZvP winrate.
