Considering that HerO is still often perceived as a PvZ specialist, It's a testament to how much his PvT has improved, and how good it actually is at that matchup. HerO's PvT is genuinely one of the most underrated matchups out of almost any pro player I can think of. Kind of ironic that an historic PvZ specialist, is actually probably struggling the most in that matchup! | ||

what's your point? he lost 1 series, which doesn't mean a lot and it was before his "good run" even though it just started. edit: he also barely lost | ||

Oh he did, I wasn't trying to say HerO's PvZ is terrible by any means. What I feel the issue was is that a lot of his games he plays for 3-4 base super-long macro game and tries to harass a lot. This style is good, but when he's going for it every game Zergs took notice of this and improved defence. They could take bigger risks to blind-counter his style and this is especially important as it's a style that is harder/more risky to play than turtle into BL/Infestor. Dreamhack is actually what has given me a lot of confidence for HerO going into IPL5. He was executing Immortal/Sentry extremely well, which wasn't the case in his last GSL games for one. He was also doing more 3 base timings and stuff like that. I'm reading between the lines a lot here, but I do feel this shows that HerO is re-evaluating some of his PvZ. He perhaps felt in that matchup he was in danger of 'doing an Idra', namely playing the same style game in, game out, and that Zergs were increasingly trying to counter his specific style. A player with HerO's multitasking intensive lategame is scary enough, but a player with that and the capacity to pull off crisp timing attacks is a hell of a lot more dangerous. | ||
