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

he lost exactly one phoenix while he harassed nonstop. he always came from the right angle and never overextended himself. i would say that that is pretty good control right there.

The expansions finished less than 10 seconds apart.


Relatively speaking, that's really late. Zerg always, always needs to expand first to stay even. That's how PvZ and TvZ have always been. All the larva spent on lings + expanding late = gimped Zerg eco.


Man if he only went hatch first, so good versus 2 gate.. man you are a strategic master

that protoss played beautifully, letting a nydus come up in his main, kill his nexus, and another stop all saturation on his natural, and cut his gas to 3/4ths of max.

Amazing play. Amazing forcefields, hitting 1fffff and clicking in an arc.


The minute you see a Forge, you don't go Roach Rush, that's just stupid. And yea, hatch first is fine for certain maps and will be the standard once the Zealots get their nerfbat. 2 gate will have no teeth at that point.

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!!!


People are whining because there is 85k prize on the line and zerg players don't have a shot it seems.

To game one, yes he did good things like occupying the cliff and sniping the nexus, but if a protoss does warp-hin harras with a warp prism and sniping a hatch but then dying to mutalisks because he only build zealots nobody would cry imbalance.
You can harrass as good as u want, if u attack with an army thats countered so much like the zerg did it is not suprrising that he lost.
His corrupers were way late. he know for 5 minutes that the p builds colossi. Havin 3 !! corrupters when p arrives with 4 colossi at ur natural just doesn't do it.

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


Which is somehow funny considering that several weeks ago (without patch since then) you and many ppl were whining about TvZ imbalance. I know that the game is changing very fast, but it's absolutely possible that in several weeks (without patch even though it's of course coming) the thoughts about balance have changed again.

Overall, I still think that it is bad that zerg has no way to stop protoss from early expanding like it was possible in BW. There, you always had to fear a hydra bust, which is not possible here.

wrong.
Do you have any idea how fast phoenix kill hydras? 5 shots.

If you leave like 5 hydras isolated he'll just run up with his 7 phoenixes and pick them all off.

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


While I agree, you can't expect people to not want to vent their frustration considering balance, that match was so painful to watch from a Zerg POV. Granted HongUn is a great player but you can clearly see how hard it is for Zerg atm.

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


Well considering stalkers cost more than hydras.

Let me guess, you think harassing with mutas take godlike skill?

Artosis should stop whining and bitching about terran. He will never be a top zerg regardless if zerg is under powered or over powered, he's just bad.

I'm not going to say anything but I've watched SC1 a lot, etc. I've seen games and zerg should have won that. It was just ridiculous, every harass idea he had worked perfectly, he did the right build orders etc.. It's not fun to watch a game and see a guy lose that in a balanced game should win.

He even was transitioning to roach/corrupter off 3 base. Maybe he had larvae saved up or something not apparent, but he did sick harass, killed a base!

Protoss, attack moves, throws some forcefields, STOPS to take the gold expansion with a nexus,

then rolls over a stupidly ahead zerg.

Hatch "first" worked out pretty well for Z in the Scrap Station game.

Keep in mind Zealots aren't the only problem vs. hatch first strategies

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.


x20%


Is there any reason why corruptors shouldnt have more range? Seems like pretty sucky unit too me. They are supposed to counter massive units, but they really dont.
