The hellions and good bunker placement definitely keep lings and banes for doing anything worthwhile, including scouting it, at least for a bit. I was thinking a blind roach switch could work well (not blind if you get the scout off of course), but if they do get marauders like you mentioned, it would take some lair tech to deal with it, like mutas. | ||

I'm sure quick roaches beat it but no one will ever actually go quick roaches vs terran unless they have a death wish. | ||

When its Zerg or Protoss everyone usually says how they are genius, amazing, etc. Obviously, thats not the right thing to do, but its hard to blame people when you see the state of the races, its obvious that in all regions there is a bias against Terran being either overpowered, or, if not overpowered, than easier to play then the rest of the races. They even joke about it in the first episode of the Yellow show. PoltPrime an extremely skilled Terran, stated that most Terrans are quite bad and only get so far because the fact that they play Terran. | ||

It's hard to find zerg players with good micro. (Kyrix used to be really good but he stopped practicing like ages ago and now he's officially gone) I get that their units are mostly melee/short-ranged, but they don't even try. It looks almost like they run with all they've got and hope for the best. Fruitdealer also used to have a semi-decent micro. If you look at his season 1 run, his micro of zerg units are way better than some of today's top zergs'. Currently DRG seems to be best mutaling engagement v. marines/tanks. Edit: OK, most zergs are pretty good at mutalisk micro. But it's not too hard to micro fast, flying units. | ||

No they would not. He could never have enough gas for that. What he needed to do is to stop hellions early so that things don't get stupid in the midgame. | ||

Agree. MC today is not the same guy as the MC that was winning GSLs. Or, maybe he is, and everyone else is simply much better. Either way, MC has failed to keep pace and is a shadow of his former self. I hope the trip to Code B makes him realize that and work that much harder so he can onces again be mentioned in the same breath as Nestea and MVP. | ||

Yeah, Flash lost to Jangbi when he was the favorite, Flash is pretty average too. Losses happen. | ||

It takes him a little time to switch into marauder production without many barracks and no tech labs. (or did he have some?) Roach production should kick in faster. | ||

The problem is that you can't really hardcore nerf terran because it would ruin the game for every non-korean pro terran. | ||

Because he is in slump and has been playing poorly, doesn't mean he is average. | ||
