The fans in Anaheim seem to be the loudest and most excited, with Columbus coming in second. No idea why Providence crowd seems so laid back . . .


It's Rhode Island.

Anaheim is in So Cal/Los Angeles. One of, if not the biggest, e-sport hotbeds in the USA. Columbus is in the midwest; another gigantic hotbed for e-sports fans.

Rhode Island is just...Rhode Island.

Newflash! How do you avoid it? I know many people claim its op and others simply say no, but no denier of it being OP has yet said what zerg should do to combat vortex aside from being MORE than two bases ahead. Even then.... huk vs aria...

Huk vs Aria wasn't a serious game at all. Aria threw random comps at huk the whole time, anyone who understands the game can see how silly it was.

Zerg's CAN spread. When its Mothership/Archon against mass BL the Z has to play it kind of like a Terran. Slowly push, spread out broods, protect them. If you just 1a in and stack up, you WILL LOSE. Its the fact that Zerg players aren't used to slow pushing with slow units, they're used to swarming into the slow push and breaking it.


i know how to beat the toilet. mass banes and put them in the toilet along with the archons. boom.
wow you're really smart!

... stfu


no you stfu. what would happen though I never tried.
Banelings auto-detonate and nothing dies because of the ~1.5 second immunity after being vortexed (the "fix" to the archon toilet, but still works vs only Broodlords.)


oh lordy that sucks that they auto detonate and kill nothing. ty

Vortex into insta win is very micro intensive, I agree.


Anyone trying to argue about lack of micro in PvZ after seeing that game has surprisingly adept keyboard skills for a sloth.

Arent vortexed units immune to damage for a short period or time (a sec or 2?) when leaving the vortex?


yeah but so are the archons that go inside. and if the archons are outside, then the banes have invuln and thus they are even better off.

but if they explode before it wears off they do 0 dmg? I guess you could wait a sec or two and manual detonate


Saw destiny test this, you need like a row of banes (8) per archon to go in and you come out with killing all the archons, but you have to send banes in after archons or the protoss just wont go in for the vortex, plus that many banes+broods u gotta be super prepared/far ahead.

it's as if the koreans are fighting an uphill (but not even difficult) battle against the foreigners. it's time to throw our last line of defense against them: idra, naniwa and huk!!!

Pretty much the most abusive build possible, I can't tell if I like it or hate it, i'm gonna go with hate because it's so easy to pull off in comparison to being ready to beat it.


It's not remotely easy to pull off. His sentry micro was sick.


Eh, it was almost unneeded though. By the time he had to micro his sentries, he had already killed most of the drones and the Hydralisk Den. It's not easy to do it like Hero, but it's definitely an abusive build, and it is easy to pull off a shittier version of it.


Yeah, its totally abusive to zergs who go blind double expand off of slow lings. That's a totally safe and valid build...


How did slow lings or the delayed tech affect the defense at all? Ret either has Muta's and holds or he happens to scout it and has units in the main. Not saying it's undefendable, but it can definitely come down to a coin toss, much like that game.

Have half his army in main half in natural? So he can focus down sentries.


Have a couple roaches before it begins? Don't drone up to 70 drones with 6 zerglings etc etc
