Meh, deathballs by toss are just really good. I love when toss do amazing FF or blink micro or something but calling an a-move with a slight retreat when he sees a baneling drop "perfect control" is an insult to players like MC and their control.

It's not a balance comment I was making, just a comment on the fact that there was nothing stellar about that control.

Sooo, I start watching the game with Dimaga up 200 vs 158 food, Dimaga bane bombs about a third of Socke's probes, and Socke just attacks and kills Dimaga.

He did have an infestation pit, don't think he had researched Pathogen Glands yet though.

like if you kill their mineral line and they know they're far behind, what will they do? ATTACK

i'm so surprised that dimaga didn't expect a giant push, that ling roach baneling army was pathetic

This, I don't care if it's balanced or not(which I think it is, and I play zerg). In either case this isn't the place to share your opinions about it.

Protoss have been losing more than winning against Zerg as of late. Dimaga's ZvP is one of his weaknesses and it shows in the way he approached that death ball push. You want to flank against Protoss, or failing that, you need corrupters. Dimaga had neither and had to depend on the baneling bombs landing. Yet he got caught in a narrow choke and had his entire force FF'd off while Socke just calmly blinked back and focused the overlords. Some of that is Metalopolis. Some of it was Dimaga maxing on mostly roaches.

Socke was 50 supply down, but he had 3-0 attack and much better tech than Dimaga. Of course after the probe massacre he had to push earlier as he would have liked, but it was still enough. Nothing wrong with pvz in this game.

I know a ban's coming, but come on, surely that shows how hard it is for a protoss to lose against a zerg.

I just dont understand why you people beg for those bans that much.

No problem with questioning a certain unit-composition..but that ban talk...my oh my...

Those colossi totally made that fight...10 currupters or such and it wouldve been completely the other way around.

Them boring deathballs... zzzz

I love the protoss definition of "perfect control" he moved in, poked out for a second and a-moved back in ...

Agreed.
I don't care what anyone says about Forcefields, they're not that fucking hard to do, amove army and press 2 fress f and spam, controlling zerg/baneling/fungal is way harder since either way you ARE going to die units. Especially against blink stalkers.

Meh boring end to a otherwise nice game

Holy shit, the games that are still coming up are amazing. Best tournament ever?

The only thing disappointing for me is that you never hear the crowd.

Except that was very amazing control. Not a single Colossus was able to get sniped, not a single hole in the FF and not a single baneling managed to hit a Stalker. It is about engaging and being able to push before Zerg delays you too much, Socke did that perfectly, Dimaga had to by time but Socke just rolled right through.

Though pretty hilarious Zerg are crying since they have been winning 90% of PvZ's lately

Dont interpret everything as balance, cause it was not the intention. I would react similar if they said those baneling drops in mineral line was perfect unit control, when all it was, was a nice drop.
