Just check Haypro (who became better when he came back), Idra, Huk or Jinro. Jinro can't even compete against low level European players such as PredY.
I really fear for Thorzain and Naniwa. But at least they can play against each other.
Meh.. Jinro was pretty mediocre before he went to korea, he had almost no accomplishments. Haypro has never been doing particularly well. Idra, sen and ret arguably became the best foreigner zergs during their stay in korea.

After the game stabilized with similar drone counts and naturals up, xlord went into drone production while Haypro good more units.
When Haypro got into his opponent's natural and was pushed back I think it was because he lost his infestors and lacked an overseer. Xlord could use burrow and freshly spawned infestors to get an advantage in battles where he had a unit deficit.
I don't think Haypro threw it away. ZvZ is swingy because of imperfect information combined with the larva mechanic.
Haypro fell behind in tech. Couldn't counter the BLs. Simple as that.
Haypro is wayyyy to slow to tech in every game. If he had gone hive after killing xlords gold he would have won the game.

one day protoss players will learn the mechanics to separate sentries and hts in different control groups, situate their sentries at the front, FF everything and then storm to death
one day
why does watching pvt make me so angry
Exactly this, even day9 could help himself mentioning that Mana needed to split his HTs again and again

Maybe if bases get 3 gas each - then and only then there will be a tiny chance to afford sentries and hts in high numbers lategame.
