Perhaps IMMvP should stick with what won him his last code S tournament - 2 rax cheesy all ins. It's the only thing terrans can and should to do reverse the current trend of the metagame. Then again, what are marines going to do to the 4 queen build? The 4 queen gasless build used to be punished quite well with hellion run bys unless the zerg out microed the attacking hellions. Now they (i'm kind of laughing in frustration) just a-move with 4 queens and don't even TOUCH the drones that are mining. Why would you? You'll only line them up! It's the perfect, easiest defense that requires no positioning or micro whatsoever!! | ||

Say what you want about the reactored hellion build that has been effectively removed from sensical build orders, it at least gave zerg something to think about in regards to positioning and defense. Most of the zergs I play on the ladder (I am a 1200 point rank 1 masters) do not even bother to get zerglings in the beginning of the game, opting instead for standard 4 queens and maybe 1 spine crawler. You can't stop overlords from getting into key positions early game (cloud kingdom and korhal compound for example) and without even drone scouting, they can see you are going for a macro game. Even when I build a bunker and put 2 marines in it, they don't even make zerglings. It's pretty ridiculous to see how the queen buff and overlord speed buff have changed the game. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal at first, but the metagame is proving me wrong. The combination of the additional defense queens provide and the ease of which they can scout your builds makes even average zerg players seem incredibly difficult to beat. I think the 50 energy queen would of been fine but terrans were bitching to much ( looking at ou kawaii ) 50 energy would allow Terrans to use hellions still | ||

Initially I thought the 50 queen energy was too much. In reality, blizzard decided that was too little and buffed queen's attack range so acutely that probes and scvs can't even get by one to scout. I mean seriously, queens stop scouting probes better than marines which have to studder step in the correct direction to deny a scout. With a queen's new range, they can kill scouting probes even if they are idle. It's ridiculous compared to how I initially thought it would turn out | ||

I think 5-3 is a good bet. Moon will be put on later this time (3rd?), and I think he will not win his, unfortunately. *crossing my fingers that I'm wrong* | ||

I don't think you can expect players like Moon to have similar runs again here, unfortunately. In the same vein, I think Oz will do better. I think 5-3 is a good bet. Moon will be put on later this time (3rd?), and I think he will not win his, unfortunately. *crossing my fingers that I'm wrong* Is Moon the WC3 player? | ||
