the difference between vikings and corruptors as designed by blizzard. Vikings have longer range but die much faster whereas corruptors have low dps/range but require more investment into killing them. Good in theory but terrible in application.

Yeah, corruptors make me sad.

The only advantage corruptors have over vikings is they're tougher, but since they have to get in the thick of everything to do any damage, they in practice die much quicker if targeted appropriately. Vikings do more damage, have much better range, are cheaper, do bonus damage to a wider variety of units, and can go on the ground if need be. But I guess corruptors can turn into broodlords, so there's that.

Some lings are following that probe right now hunting it down on the map.

The natural just finished for CoCa and alot of dorning going on.

Gas gets taken on 6:00 and a macro hatch at his main.

All the drones of the natural gets pulled to the gold base to get more incoming.

I've seen them both do it just not as often as they should and Nestea seems to be improving his TvZ faster if group stage was anything to go by. I Think losira had a heavy ( and enjoyable to watch) reliance on burrowed banes and certain types of baneling flank that over time most players have learned to deal with. He needs to take the time to evolve his play a bit and learn a few more tricks to become a proper monster.

I'm still sorta sad that there's no super zerg out there, all my zerg heroes have at least one bad matchup.

I would disagree with Nestea improving. Go back and watch his win against MMA again, he streams his entire army in from one point against an extended siege line, gets absolutely destroyed and then wins due to MMA also screwing up and walking his whole army into banelings. They occasionally pull off strong attacks, like the Nada game...but that was non-standard terran play. They could really dominate everything if they could just incorporate flanks into every engagement like DRG does.

why you need more than 6 gates
