dunno why zerg lose to protoss.. just play like Nestea


Thing is, when you try to play like Nestea against an actual good Toss you just get rolled.

Catz is fun to watch, he's the TLO of zerg, but for all his creativity it just feels so flimsy that it ends up frustrating me to no end when he loses and makes his race look bad.

Oh, and can someone tell Gretorp that trying to use big words and failing makes him look like an idiot? Brevity is the soul of wit, damnit.


I guess that why Nestea's ZvP is so good right?


Nestea's ZvP looked good in the GSL finals because Inca isn't GSL finals material. Put Nestea up against someone like MC or Squirtle and we'll see how good his ZvP is.

Nesteas record V. Toss for the gsl was 17-3. Id say his ZvP is pretty fantastic.

And yet he still says toss is OP :/

If anyone can take Ret on while Ret's playing amazingly, it's Select. These games will be sick.

Over and over I ask myself why this map is in the pool. There is simply no real answer to forcefields.

Korean:

TvZ: 4-5 (44.4%)
ZvP: 6-5 (54.5%)

Zerg holds a winning record in every matchup in basically every league in that map. Can we drop the bullshit Zerg vs. Crossfire line of thought? There are more maps in the pool that are shitty for terran than for zerg.

When you get a bigger sample size over a longer period of time, sure.


The stats is not enough to conclude that Z has no disadvantage on this map, but I think we could observe how 50ish percent of Z managed to overcome their opponents on this map. Any good Z will incorporate those strategies with their gameplay.

Well considering the counter argument is "Crossfire is imbalanced against Zerg" you have to show at least SOME evidence for that statement. Unfortunately you can't because the only evidence available shows a favorable win % for Zerg. Sorry, but the "map is balanced" argument wins here.


The evidence is called "common sense." The stats are irrelevant if they ignore the players, the mistakes, and other crucial specifics. And the sample size is small.

Saying 98 games is not a good enough sample size makes you look retarded


You also have to take into account which players played whom in those statistics, or otherwise, they're misleading. I mean, if it was July or NesTea owning up players like anypro on that map, it's the skill difference that won them the game. The game that burns fresh in my mind is the sC vs. NesTea game, where sC made so many more small mistakes than NesTea, yet the game still came down to the wire. Every game I've seen on that map where a strong 2-3 base Terran plays a solid contain game on the high ground, the Zerg almost always loses. Although, I do think that the map is more skewed towards TvZ than PvZ, as the stats show.

Because air units, backdoors, drops, and massive units don't exist


None of those things are viable in ZvP; at best they're risky with minor potential payoffs.


Yes they are.

A baneling drop on the mineral line only has a minor potential payoff? Or baneling drop with ling roach on the army? Or mass muta which is pretty strong until the Protoss get Templar or went Stargate.

And all Zergs should use backdoors because it exploits Protoss' main weakness. Immobility compared to the Zerg.

Ofcourse you can't use all of these in every game, some maps it's just no feasible but to just completely write them all off as not viable? Lol.

Inca's PvZ is terrible. Who's talking about him?

Someone like MC? Oh wait, he's already beaten MC in Season 2. Granted, MC wasn't at good at execution as he is now).

Someone like Squirtle (who still hasn't made Code S)? Oh wait, he already beaten Squirtle in the GSTL.

Guess your statement has zero legs to stand on.

saying "well the best zerg in the world is good against protoss so all zerg should be" is asinine. If the best zerg in the world can't have a good win rate against protoss then it would be hopeless. Plus he hasn't had to play people like MC lately.

And your "evidence" is irrelevant because time and time again, the actual games show that Zerg still wins a fair amount of games on the map. I agree that the map architecture seems like it should be anti-zerg, but in practice it just doesn't play out that way. End of story.

I see this so often. Terran starts with Marine/Tamk, Zerg makes a billion roaches, yet Terran refuses to make any Rauders. I don't get it.
