Remember this topic?

Sen hasn't streamed in a while but he's back more stunning and innovative play. Watch his ZvP match @ around 21 min. His moxie with zerg just makes me squeal like a fangirl

He won basically 2 base zerg v 2 base protoss, pretty much unheard of, using only hydra/roach/ling against collosi/stalker/zealot.

Once the P army got too large to handle head on, he abuses nydus by attacking key structures and retreating back into the nydus when the P returns to base.

Sen is good. The top zergs doing well doesn't mean zerg is balanced. They're just that good.

If you compare FP VoDs you can probably see a huge difference in skill.

Thanks for the Sen VoD though. Nice to see them from good zergs.

Cool game but as the above poster said, Sen doing well as Zerg doesn't mean a whole lot. He isn't restricted by his micro and macro like the 99% of Zerg community is.

Also, the game seemed real close as some points, with Sen even pulling his drones off his expo to help defend against that final push.

Considering how Sen is arguably one of the best Zerg players and it was that close against a random protoss from a ladder match, I would say if anything that furthers the idea that Zerg are needing some sort of buff or somebody needs to hurry up and think of some genius strategy lol.

Wow, just wow. Sen just stopped a 4Gate on Desert Oasis after getting double pylon + cannon blocked at his ramp by powering drones until he was able to bust the pylons with banes and get his expo up and start pumping roaches.

Also, the Chinese Zerg voice is perfect.

Sen's a fucking baller <3

IDK why the Protoss persisted with Colossi when seeing mass Roaches though instead of Immortals.

WOW
Sen's click speed is like god... 10 times as fast as mine and he doesn't even make a mistake.
And I can't even make a expansion while harrassing.

ya sen is pretty baller i dont know about better than idra since there both extremely high level players and have way different styles.

Cool game but as the above poster said, Sen doing well as Zerg doesn't mean a whole lot. He isn't restricted by his micro and macro like the 99% of Zerg community is.

Also, the game seemed real close as some points, with Sen even pulling his drones off his expo to help defend against that final push.

what your saying then is that zerg is broken because 99% of the zerg community is restricted by there micro/macro!!! lmao!
there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

Why did this go from a discussion of Sen's tactics in ZvP to zerg-is-broken in less than 1 post? :p
