Wow, I'm really suprised Destiny is doing so well. Mutas, but still, really well.

its not. as long as protoss holds on long enough to get storm and enough stalkers zerg cannot engage with pure muta. its a strategy that totally relies on protoss not knowing how/being capable of stopping it.

it's still good becasue protoss can't move out without losing everything.


And zerg can always transition into whichever tech they want. They will be way ahead on bases, they can turtle with spines, get infestor/broodlord, and Protoss cant do anything about it.


Mutas are beatable in PvZ. Taldarim's size might make it ugly, but in no way is it unbeatable. The mutas aren't supposed to be able to do damage once you have high templar unless it is extremely inefficient damage. If it happens, the protoss made a mistake.

It is a strategy that requires a VERY specific response from the protoss, but I don't think it's broken. Destiny played well.

So... Quantic is 2-1 up... They have SaSe, Naniwa to come, and Mouz have Thorzain and then Morrow?. I don't see Mouz taking this now that Destiny took out their two Protoss, but it will all come down to whether they can take out Thorzain without taking too much damage from him. I assume SaSe or Nani comes next and snipes him.

Thorzain is the most overrated player of all time.

Hyped to extremes and just a mediocre mid-tier foreigner.

A bit sad that when Destiny wins a game, everyone just uses it as evidence of imba rather than congratulating Destiny on continued improvements and two good wins.

Its not about Destiny. People will complain about mass mutas on TalDarim no matter who plays.
Overpowered or not, Destiny played this really well.

On most maps it is completely beatable, but when the 3rd and main are close like that by air on taldarim... not gonna says its unbalanced but u have to outplay the zerg by a large margin imo
naniwa fighting!!!

so thats why Blizzard is contemplating throwing a whole new unit in to counter mutas
how can you say its not viable?
this is purely to placate the average players, because VERY few low level protoss are capable of dealing with a zerg that gets enough mutas out, because it isnt easy, as witnessed by a very good (but not elite) protoss in MaNa losing to it just now. but any decent korean protoss knows exactly how not to die to mass muta. you need SOMETHING else to damage to the stalkers.


stop spouting nonsense... No they don't. You can't move out against mutas without being literally all-in. MaNa is as good a protoss as any, his pvz isnt' his best MU, but it doesn't change the fact that if you have a timing that fails, and the zerg has a spire he basically cashes in on a free-win, because once you start going mutas the game enters a stage where there's very little that protoss can do outside of waiting for zerg to make a mistake, or base trading.

So? Having a large fanbase =/= overrated.

Nobody proclaims Destiny is a top tier player, and I see it all the time for Thorzain.

Not sure why people are saying Destiny played well. Mass mutas, miss MaNa expanding past 3 bases and drag out a game that should of been over, I mean really how do you lose that many bases with 60 mutas on the field?

Still hoping for better games, thorzain coming out should be interesting.


I thought Destiny's harass and muta control was very good. He had multiple groups of mutas pulling mana all over the place, forcing him to constantly defend. It was textbook. The point of what he was doing was to drag it out. It's called starving out your opponent and he did it properly. You might not like the strategy, it might not be exciting to you, but Destiny def played well.

Rofl, because beating Nani, MC, Kas, and FD means he's totally mid-tier.
