Code S terrans are favored against the other races and the maps are particularly good for terran this season. I think even the best zergs in the world are fighting an uphill battle against code S terrans. Leenok lost, Nestea went 2-1 to virus, BARELY winning the last game. DRG played great but really I didn't have the tools to deal with code s terran play. terrans a bit op atm and until a patch or HOTS comes out, baring walking helions . Maybe things will shape up better, balance and game design wise.idk, all 3 tvz series were extremely close throughout and balance didnt seem very off. very high level tvz often descends into chaos late game as it did very often today, and nestea seems to be the only zerg that truly understands how to play those situations. leenock is very solid and has great baneling play, but his counter attacks are very questionable at times and ended up costing him today. DRG is the probably the best mutalisk player in the world, but he has shown, and showed again today, a tendency to stay on muta too long and to mishandle helions early game. and i dont think the map pool is that horrible for zergs, bel-shir, dual sight and crossfire are very strong zerg maps in zvt and metal/daybreak are even at best for the terran. one thing to keep in mind is that there are so many high level terrans in korea it leads to the terran metagame and builds developing at a faster rate because of how many heads are working towards a solution of the matchup. you saw that today in the reactor helion into fast 3rd oribital build that was used in nearly every game. | ||

I can't really say who has the best ZvT atm. If DRG didn't lose 4-1 to MKP then probably him. He has the best muta control in the world but Nestea is smarter and prepares better than him. This entire new TvZ style is definitely giving trouble to all zergs. | ||

All metal games had cross spawns which is neutral/slightly zerg favored. Dual sight is 53-47 which is close to balanced. This season ZvT is 10-11 which is close to 50% Today ZvT was 4-5 which is also close to 50% There were no 2rax (except 1 completely botched attempts), no bunker play, only 2 games had mass BFH (one was lost by T), only 1 game had ghost snipes (which was lost by T). Pretty, none of this considered 'OP' came into play today. Despite all this, people still go about QQing about balance in TvZ matchup. Terran is just insane good at defending and harashing. The marines are really strong and can take down alot of lings mutas. | ||

And I mean fantasy-esque gg timings right there. Watched supernova hold on for so long on 4 bases for most of the game, think he did a great job although he lost, but he turned it into a great game anyhow. And dong had pull to out the /dance, okay fair enough - we're good sports, but he proceeded to get promptly beaten in the 3rd set without even putting up a fight. I don't blame people for playing badly and losing, but if you drone drilled and lost too much, then maybe you should just gg right there and everyone would understand. If you decide to play on, then play on. Not lose a couple units and then gg...only fantasy is allowed to do that. Supernova played with a sizeable disadvantage in income and still gave it all he got. Dong dude just flat out quit. Not looking forward to him again. Maybe it's the overhype. At least idra is a colourful personality outside the game. you sound like your a pretty high level player.... great analysis. /end sarcasm | ||

But if you play on and then couple minutes later think "eh....fuck it", well, it's just not a winning mentality, or good for the fans to watch. The highest level Zerg is very tempo based, they need to have a constant supply of resources and larva so they can turn over units. As soon as one of those things runs dry, the game is basically over for the Zerg. which is something not many people realised about the infamous MMA vs Idra game were Idra GG's out. He had 1 queen, no live injects or queens building. 10 units in production and 2 larva and about 20 supply in units. he was dead either way lol. Terran mechanics are very very diffierent, if they have any money and buildings, they keep producing units no problem. and because they are all ranged with great micro can be very cost efficient. | ||

DRG might have done the same thing when he said "Terran ezpz". It's just the curse of overconfidence. | ||

I´ve only seen the Supernova that blinded the eyes of the spectators with his superior skill against DRG today. | ||

I just feel more for the zerg players out there, because I know how hard it is to take down siege tanks marines with all the micro you needed to do And all they do is split there marines up! hehe go zerg <3 | ||

MVP has owned Nestea so hard historically, Nestea said he got depressed practicing against MVP. | ||

Hell, Tasteless even introduced Virus as "The Victim" in the game Virus took off Nestea. If the only thing that will cause them to stop overhyping Nestea is for him to be eliminated then I want that to happen. It's a shame because I really like watching Nestea play, and I used to root for him back when Terrans and Protosses were crushing every other Zerg. Those hypes from Artosis are overkill for me too. And I also don't understand why isn't he give equal amount of hypes to MVP. MVP is even more solid than Nestea. | ||

I am a Zergplayer myself, but the both zergs that played best went out today. So I have to give my Votes to MVP and Happy. Nestea really did not play very well today, coca is better, but happy is just impressive lately. | ||
