Seriously, what's with all the terran hate on teamliquid? I've seen retards like Imbs bash really good terrans for winning against Z and nothing's being done about it. The majority of TL members may be zerg players, but that shouldn't cause half the posts here to erupt into balance discussions with some zerg claiming "herpa derp terran can a-moves with stim and scv bumrush, noob race". Grow up, please.

FYI, I play zerg too, but apparently I don't have the wow-forum syndrome that plagues the trolls on TL.
Also, well played, Drewbie.

not only do you mimic me with insults, but you add herp derp parody, whining about whining and you also drop insignificant information in an attempt to gain credibility. is it fun to be such a massive hypocrit m8?

i dont even hate terran, i just think its stupid when certain players can beat other superior players soley because of abusive strats only their race can use. this is a fair point to bring up in a thread that talks about a game where it happened?

Hurts when you're on the recieving end of an insult, doesn't it? Next time, think before posting dumb comments about someone else's skill/caliber whatever.

What the hell are these comments about "abuse" or "Exploiting" etc etc etc?

One could say that IdrA is exploiting the small cost of a hatchery, because its so so cheap, he can get it early. ABUSE!

Zerg is the most mobile race in the Game. With good creep spread down that hallway you can see it coming from a long way away. The narrowness of the corridor also means that marines can't micro very well away from banelings, which means they can only run one way, leaving tanks open.

I can't believe the amount of people crying foul. Its a situational game. In this situation the back corridor was used. It isn't a secret, IdrA knew it was a strong possibility, you can defend it.

Drewbie is too GM to someone that has been very BM to him in the past.. All the more power too you.

I wasn't being sarcastic when I said Drewbie did the smart thing but having a choke so close to the main is something Terrans CAN and probably WILL exploit.

Why oh why do every EG vs "Some other team" turn into a shitstorm???

Great games, great tournament and then I log onto TL to read about it and its this steaming pile of crap as usual...

Drewbie beat IdrA in favorable positions and favorable latency but it was still a legit win.

So zerg should exploit their maneuverability and draw the army back by ding-dong-ditching some supply depots with their Mutas.
A good zerg (ie; IdrA) on their day can (and have to) deny terran from holding such presence on the map. There are many units they can exploit to do this. The pure pace and mass of Zerg needs to be exploited in order to control terran around the map

exploit exploit exploit. Every race, and every map has exploits. When does exploiting simply become "playing the game."

Its kind of hard to avoid the "shitstorm", e-sports is getting closer and closer to real sports and the discussions/fights/brawls between supporters have never been pretty in sports, we certainly aren't talking about calm discussions. The e-hooligans are here to stay, and in a way I don't really mind (though someone calling imba every game whoever wins is getting old), those terrans will never admit they are playing the ez-mode race anyways (joke)

No it's OK, it is pretty much impossible to play 100% when playing between NA and Korea, I recently got a Korean account, and you really can't micro at all. I do feel that I had an advantage the whole game, IdrA could have easily stopped my harass at the start ( the bunker is not hard to stop, just have a drone follow the scv, and I go 1 rax FE into blue flame pretty much every TvZ so IdrA should have expected it and prepared a bit better defense, even though it didn't really do a ton of damage ) but the map is pretty imbalanced and there is not much that Z can do in that situation. Hopefully next time we play, it will be on even grounds and we can have a better game.
