And even if it does, kiting is something zealots don't do. In a tight area, only the front zealots can attack, while all of the roaches can. In open areas, roaches kite zealots. So, pre-charge, roaches overpower Zealots because positioning and micro all work in their favor. | ||

Pre-charge its pretty roach favored yea, but zeal archon for example will annihilate roaches cost for cost if you hit a nice timing, even if zeals themselves cant trade 1:1 ff's and flanks do allow you to trade zeals for suprising amounts of roaches, though | ||

What does HongUn has to do with that? My comment makes perfect sense. We also saw that in game 3 with yet another roach/ling all-in. And yeah. I am pretty unfamiliar with HongUn but he totally deserved to win that series imo. | ||
