PvZ is just frustrating for both Zerg and Protoss. Protoss just have hard counters for all zerg units except SH.If you mix a deathball with some immortal/colossus/void ray/templar/tempest, you can give the deathball to a 9year old child and he beats any non SH army in lategame.

So there're two style of play : or you try a gamble play where zerg try to kill protoss with a tech before protoss can get the hard counter, or you SH and slowly wait Protoss has no bank anymore.

But the first style is too random and if P is super defensive Zerg can't really break the wall/photons/FF/photon canon. So even kor zerg play some swarm host style, but except a few zerg players no zerg like to play SH.

sorry for all random drama bullshits i dont know why i keep doing this to myself i just get so angry inside at this game guess i just cant stop caring so much ^^ to be honest i dont think this game before Lotv is for me, blizzard are so incredibly stupid not tweaking swarmhost that ontop of Pvp being a bit random and Widowmine / medivacs being totally ridiculous im just not really feeling it anymore ^^ we will see if i play wcs qualifier either way i am Sorry for raising your hopes, i really thought i was liking the game again but its already so sour.

I'm disappointed but only because i'm such a fan. Definitely understand where you're coming from no point forcing yourself to play, might not result in the best results if you did that anyway. Hope to see you play again sometime whether be when LOTV comes out or sooner.

Aw shucks. Was pretty excited for this. Oh well. Just try to enjoy the matches as best you can. If nothing else, throw in a crazy proxy, will ya?

Best of luck with whatever game you find yourself in next. ^.^

Sad news but understable.

I hope you will come back for LOTV.

Naniwa why not streams some other games for your fans ?

Hey Naniwa, hope you're doing well!
Sorry to hear that you're not having enough fun with HOTS to play the qualifiers but don't play the game just because we want to see it! If you don't play the game for yourself you won't have fun and won't even be able to show very good games.

Hope LOTV changes things and you'll come back to be the foreign hope for all of us!

Yeah theres swarm hosts, colossus and medivacs -.-
Blizzard needs to make some big changes in Lotv if they want it to have a long future. Sh and colossus at least should be removed. Imba units that cause only anger.
Medics and dropships would be a lot NICER for terran ^^.
I mean this game should be fun to play but those units (and a few more) make it unbearable...

Just cant love this game without hating it so much at the same time -.-

Yeah if he's confident he can beat the players he's supposed to beat, otherwise I think he will feel pretty bad about it if he loses to someone he's not really supposed to lose to.

He could do like Scarlett maybe?

Acer.Scarlett` "I guess it's up to you guys, cause I can keep playing in the occasional tournament even if I mostly stop playing"

My two favourite players retiriting

I'll keep supporting them though, no question about it.
