In response to the original question, which was what has any zerg won recently, besides July, there is Haypro, who won the PAX showmatch tournament between the team liquid members. | ||

I don't know if those really count...both "tournaments" were in-house tournaments with only their practice partners/teammates. Real tournaments are against people from other teams with unexpected/unknown playstyles. In addition, while teamliquid is awesome...they've been slumping pretty badly as a team, so beating his teammates isn't a huge accomplishment. edit: Losira won GSL Code A too. but ret/losira are the only ones with a big tournament win in about 6 months... even though there have been 15+ tournaments | ||

I guess the last major event won by a zerg I can think of is Ret's win. It's been a bit of a slump. | ||

Beta Hydras were awesome Patch 5 (version 0.7.0.14356) The delay between attacks has been increased from 0.75 seconds to 0.83 seconds Patch 8 (version 0.10.0.14803) Life decreased from 90 to 80. | ||

there wasn't any realistic way to beat roaches when they had 2 armor, 1 supply, better regen upgrade, cheaper burrow, faster spawning nydus. they definitely needed to nerf units...they just nerfed them way too hard. I think these 3 changes would fix zerg balance. 1. Make overlord speed 50/50 and tier 1. (It used to be 50/50 tier2, currently at 100/100 tier 2) 2. Revert the Nydus build time from 20-->10 seconds. (zerg nydus builds were really strong in beta imo-with all of the other nerfs zerg has received, I think this could be reverted back. 3. Make it so forcefields have a set HP like 150hp. Its stupid that zerg can't reinforce when their base is being attacked but a protoss on offense can. | ||

But still, we need some other form of better anti-air to stop drops.... Something that is NOT a harass unit like the muta. Something like a baneling that flies.... I wonder where I have seen that.... | ||

Didn't watch the game, why the hell would Socke build 5-gates on 1 base when he can't even support it? | ||

I STONGLY agree with all of these except the forcefireld one. Imo its an ability that the whole toss gameplay revolves around. And Normally strong players know that once their ramp gets ff'ed it wont be not ff'ed for as long as the protoss wishes, so they just prepare for pushes before they get there or dont let the toss near their ramp. | ||

They would just totally annihilate the two problematic units of that composition... would bring a tear to my eye | ||

Still, it'd be sick to have them back even they couldn't hit Colossi. Bye bye void rays >:-) . | ||
