The real shock of the 2nd match is that HongUn made it look so blissful and easy. This was supposed to be a tough battle. Damn, well done.

Face it the game is NOT balanced, zerg can still win. If zerg had played that good and was terran the game would be over. 3 Bases to 1 base..

ZvP is largely considered the most balanced match up in the game by top players.

I don't know what you're basing that off of. I would say that TvP is easily more balanced.

Nony and Incontrol said it in some State of the Game podcasts, to give an example. Not disagreeing, TvP is pretty bloody balanced imo as well.

zvp is largely considered the least balanced in korea right now


especially when you dont check for hidden expos

whats with the imbalance discussion on here.. its getting a lil old, I mean pretty much everyone has agreed that the game is a lil imbalanced at the moment and that Z has gotten the short end of the stick. No need to discuss imbalance when its pretty clear cut and everybody is just waitin for the patch imo

The game on scrap station zerg was just falling apart. Clearly too frustrated over the expansion delay, didn't really prepare very well for the phoenix harrass (4 queens? really? :/).

He should have broken the rocks to his natural, and got more spores. He should have also broken the shortcut rocks and counter attacked with hydras.

First game he just committed to the fight with hydras vs force field collossus for waaaaay too long. And he was way too hydra heavy, even some lings would've helped I think. He could've also taken the island expos much faster.

t's amazing how much better Vikings are vs colossi than the unit that is supposed to hard counter them... Corruptors.


Vikings hit colossus for 28 and have 125hp.

Corruptors hit colossus for 20, but have slightly faster attack speed and 200hp/2 armor.

All the zerg had to do was keep like 5 hydras at each base.. then phoenix is useless.. He was grouping his whole army going around trying to stop the phoenix.

I really don't see what zerg is supposed to do against phoenix abuse that good :/

spread you hydras maybe? he had them on 1 control group or somthing

Drop down 2 spores per mineral line, or at least 3 queens per base, spread creep so you have vision, make hydras, keep upgrading. Also some zerglings when you see the mass stalkers would be nice, but he was playing blind at that point.

Basically, it comes down to making enough defenses that phoenixes are ineffective, because he will lose them only if he has bad micro and focusing on the rest of his army composition.

Tasteless "What a sick phoenix micro.."

Sick micro? Phoenix does everything for you, it's ridiculous unit which requires pretty much zero micro.

zenio threw that game away from the beginning, forcing the 2nd hatch instead of just going for a 1base opener. and then taking the third without even removing the rocks or spreading creep or even a large army? thats like gold level man. finally, leaving no hydras at his expansion to take care of phoenix ... man, so bad

The shortcut rocks and better creep spread with a spore at each base would've netted him at least parity with the Protoss Force. A little better Hydra spread along with a queen per base (Cmon 4? How many shots do they get on a phoenix picking up drones compared to hydras?) was the better play.

The economy whittling down combined with the map's very open third expansion was too much. On the flip side, this is the advantage of phoenix harass and contain.

And if protoss moved his ground army in while the hydras were split up?

Didn't matter, 20 stalkers beat 20 hydra anyway.

I dont understand all the imba whine from people.
Really, Have you ever play SC1 or WC3? Each race has its patch people, there are times when some races are stronger than other. But Blizzard will surely patch it out, thats why many people love Blizzard.
So please, hold on to your race, Blizzard will make it worth your while!!!

I'm upset about the result of game 1... but I thought game 2 was awesome in its own way. HongUnPrime showed how dominant he could be in the PvZ matchup... ridiculous and awesome.

I can agree with the people stating that Zenio made some bad mistakes, but it was still so hard to watch him lose.

He pulled out an early advantage taking down the zealots, surprised everyone abusing the cliffs, and then pulled off an amazing snipe on the main nexus. Then the Protoss army just walked forward with collosus and destroyed everything he had.

Yes he should have had more corrupters and fewer hydras, yes he should have spread creep, no he shouldn't have engaged in the middle, but I understand why zerg fans are upset.

And i can see why after yours and zenios games.

People who have good army controll wont ever lose to a zerg ground force.

Takes the corruptors forever to kill collosus aswell, and by the time they are dead, you have killed million hydra/roach with em.

Just think about game 1, what could have gone better for the zerg until that attack outside P base?

Nothing, he was extreamly far ahead, but your fucking units cant attack a protoss with forcefield..... First you need to empty the sentrys energy, then you can attack? What a stupid fucking game this is. Patch 1.1 needs some serious changes. A few build time differences wont DO.

what killed the zerg in the first was his 9 pool that did no damage what so ever.
