The Bomber game was pretty cool, I admire him attempting other lategame comps, to bad infestors are good vs everything terran has :D

Nice job. Shame I missed watching these live. Will have to purchase TSL4 package to make up for it.

Hi whatthefat

thanks for your effort and a really nice writeup. You chose three ZvTs to showcase, how good the matchup (still) is. But even though those games had some amazing features of micro or decission making, I personally believe those games showcased much more, what is wrong with TvZ atm.

To put it short:

Symbol vs MKP showed, how foolproof the new (buffed) 6 queen openings really are, especially in the hands of a player with mechanical skills like symbol. MKP's first agression comes at 9 minutes and does close to nothing, due to queens and easier scouting. From there, MKP was behind to never come back.

Bomber vs Freaky illustrated perfectly, why terran and protoss players are complaining about the infestor. And nothing more.

DRG versus Ryung was the best of the 3 games. But due to the superlarge map and 5 queen creepspread, first time terran crossed midfield with agression was around 20 minutes. Very small skirmishes before, but basically no-rush-20-minutes. A game does not become automatically epic, just because there are nukes and ravens in it.

If we take a look at typicall ZvT's right now in tournaments, matches are too passive early on, too onesided later on and too greed-centered from both sides. Plus terran 11/11 quite frequently. I don't mind cheese every now and then, but this is too much to be enjoyable.

ZvT was the best MU in the game. But it has fallen far from glory.

Nothing of this takes anything away from your good work of summarizing sc2 games with perfect picture selection and nice storytelling. I really aprreciate all of it.
