His interest is bound to go up and down - it's natural for all teenagers. He needs to be given more time. He's the most talented SC2 player I know - I'm confident he can sort out whatever issues he has with himself or the game and if we see in months from now that he's still struggling, I make advocate a switch. But not this year, at least. He's too good for that, and I think he knows it too. | ||

life is no exception as each and every zerg has a rough time with hots especially in regards to just enjoying to play and i cant blame them. the first drg stream was named "lets break my mental in hots by zerg" which is pretty fitting for what playing zerg feels like up until this point. having to play ling bane muta vs all new terran toys, swarmhost turtle to match protoss lategame and a zvz that has not in any way improved since wol can be quite downing. obviously some parts are exaggerating but the whole hots beta saw a lack of attention to zerg possibly because zerg in the meantime was too strong at the end of wol. also blizzard hasnt even aknowledged in any way that they are unhappy with how zerg gameplay looks like in hots so there is no hope on the horizon hopefully something changes soon or some new zerg hero shows new ways to bring back the fun, watching all my heroes die has made me not log into sc2 for weeks and this is the first time ever in all of sc2s lifetime (am high master form season 1 to now) i really miss watching life in the booth joking and laughing in high pressure situations, nowadays he just doesnt seem to enjoy the game anymore | ||

None of the changes to zerg in HotS has affected our openings or approaches to the early game. | ||

Life lost, yes, but I don't really think he looks worse than the other Top Zerg. I just tried to count the win% of the Matchups in all three Premier Leagues - and with a below 30% winrate for the Zerg in ZvT (20:8 series), he is definitely not alone with his problems right now. I'd even say his ZvT is way above average, his ZvP looks quite strong as well compared to most other Zerg - only his ZvZ is not as good as it should be. The Zerg matchups seem like an uphill battle from the very beginning, where you got a small timing window of about 4-5 minutes where you're really able to do anything. Before and afterwards it's either a painful death against Bio/Mine or you got to play SH/Viper against Toss or you're dying. It just sucks to play like this and especially for a player like Life that's probably the worst case scenario. I wouldn't exaggerate the "slump" life is in, he just struggles as EVERY other zerg (including RorO, Soulkey and Symbol) and all of them just keep losing right now. Lets see if a single Zerg makes it to the season finals - beside Jaedong the chances aren't insanely good, imo. And the amound of Protoss in Europe/USA doesn't really increase JD's chances. btw: shouldn't be a balance whine, maybe it's just the Zerg being unable to figure out how to play against this stuff. But right now playing Zerg and watching Zerg playing is really frustrating. | ||
