Thats not even a counter thats like complete rape, all infestors were drained of mana by a single emp and the broodlords were all sniped pretty easily.
Broodlord corruptor infestor actually looks like a crappy composition against terran that uses ghost.
All of those situations just happened because the zergs army control and attack positioning was terrible. Blizzard shouldnt just go oh its fine if the zerg is bad
Your point being? You cant position them better anways, as snipe has range 10 and tanks have 13, while fungal and broods have 9. Vikings have much more range than corruptor anyways. Terran being bad is the only reason why a zerg would be able to position himself better with that composition against ghosts.
The natural advantage in those compositions is clearly in the terrans favour as he has more range on his units, the only thing that can happen is terran messing it up, like he did against those banelings.
I've actually been noticing a decrease in balance talk on TL even though it still exists to some extent, which is nice to see. Shame that Byun lost because I thought he played a lot better, but one huge mistake cost him a dominating position.
These first two games have made me feel so positive about the future of sc2
awesome game. Byun wasnt fully concentrated for 1 second and Zenio immediately took advantage of it. From that point on he was defending and only his strong Ghost Usage kept him safe. (for a while at least ;p)

Jezus, late game TvZ is bullshit. It hurts my eyes to see it. Broodlord/Corruptor/Infestor seems like a default win when they reach it.
And it only took him 8 bases to get that against 4 bases. Both made mistakes as well. When will people stop with this generalized race imbalance talk?
Lmao "8 bases against 4". So all those 8 bases were saturated? Shocking that he managed to pull off the win with 200 supply of just straight drones right? The most you can saturate is 3.5 bases, having 8 hatcheries means nothing more than extra larva and gas. Putting down a hatchery doesn't give you an extra base.
seems kinda silly that zerg, the race that's built to mass produce inefficient units, can mass infestors that come out instantly with an aoe damage spell. being a protoss player before the khaydarin nerf, even warping in HT with amulet wasnt as bad as zerg's ability to mass infestor and in turn, easy aoe. at least you could dodge storm, too. can't even dodge fungal.
