To be fair, Leenock was running pretty hot and cold that game in terms of battle engagements. Clumping Brood Lords against Thors, losing them, losing Mutas to bad rallies and suiciding them into Thors, and then he'd turn it around and utterly smash Yoda in some other engagement.
But yeah, Leenock will be seriously scary once he irons out the deficiencies in his play. He's pretty dynamic with his tech switches and defense and has some pretty cool tricks (those flank Infestors were pretty damn clutch, turning a so-so engagement into a rout). Oh, but he also needs to spread creep on those larger maps, if only to force Terran to use scans and be wary when approaching Leenock's base.

I works really well mid-game, but late-game you need a transition indeed...

Leenock ate cheese on TV..... CHEESE, you can't come harder then that
foreign pro gamers are so boring compared to how BM Koreans can be
They're showing more emotion than usual, but enthusiasm is different than pre-planned ceremonies, lol. Foreigners actually show more emotion, but don't do "ceremonies" because it's not exactly tradition.

Not a transition, you just can't stay on Thor/Hellion/Tank the whole game. It's more like adding more tech to your army, like you do in any matchup.
It's not like it's not fair, after all Zerg tends to switch from Roach/Infestor into Broodlords.

Leenock is probably on summer break atm. Assuming he has to go back to school in the fall it may be difficult for him to keep this level of play up.

Because we remember the good ol' mech days of bw...
mech is so awful to watch in starcraft 2, I hope to god it doesn't become popular
no unit requires any amount of micro, the thor is one of the most boring units in the game, and the pace of the game is so freaking slow
Nooooo you cant look at mech like that, mech is....beautiful But in all seriousness, I really do hate the thor with a passion and I really miss the goliath. Also, hellions suck, give me some vultures.
