So basically you're saying as long as a Terran is playing well a Zerg cannot have a hope in the world of winning? | ||

God the baneling unit completely fucked zerg in this game. So disappointing to see Idra ahead in food all game long and then a small group of stimmed marines kills double the amount of mutas, ridiculous. I really want to see a terran come and tell me how you are supposed to stop that, it seems like zerg's have tried every possible unit composition to no avail. How do you figure that? All I saw zergs do was ling/baneling/muta. (and once there were a few infestors, and one game a few roaches). From MVP we saw marine+tank+medivac, marine+marauder (no tanks), marine+marauder+tank+medivac, marine+tank+battlecruisers, hellion+marauder.. he had more variety than the zergs! edit: and banshees now and then, and thors | ||

Just seems stupid to call the game broken based on this... If a month from now we're still seing the same thing, it would be more valid. | ||

He's saying they've tried them all in practice and concluded that this is the best unit composition. Do you really think that all the top zergs would purposely choose a losing unit composition when a better alternative exists? | ||

Who now just lost to a bunch of "scrubs*" in the last few days, people make errors, alot of them. imbalances exist and always will but noone will ever play theoretically sound enough to make it insurmountable or it'd get fixed fast. Note that i kind of dislike the design of certain things like banelings and forcefields, very powerful but either too hard to counter or use at lower levels but to easy to counter or use at higher levels. *as in people who would be contending for championships in sc2. | ||

Marines kill every zerg unit besides banelings, tanks kill banelings, and when you factor in good micro, 90% of the marines survive. Anyone saying roaches must not play zerg, or the fact that investing in drops costs 300/300 that you just have lying around, when we've already seen a zerg in an advantage lose to this, do you really think they can somehow fit in an additional tech? Idra I share your frustration. Me too. I'm all for Mvp being good an all, he's good. But he's not as good as the results suggest. There is a problem with Zerg. I have no doubt in my mind. His TvZ is phenomenal. His TvT and TvP is questionable at best which only fuels the argument of TvZ being broken. That being said it's not uncommon for a player to excel at a certain matchup. | ||

I didn't say Terrans are playing well. I'm saying Mvp is playing well and by playing well I'm talking using a composition that Zerg has no hope of beating as long as the T isn't a complete idiot. Perhaps your right, perhaps that style has a fatal flaw, but until that flaw is realized (even if it exists) expect a lot more Zerg QQ. I'm not a Zerg player, I play Protoss but when I see Zerg heroes dropping like flies and critically thinking about what Zerg can do it about it, I am stumped, and it isn't just me apparently.. | ||
