You mean stood a chance against very bad vortexes? And only 2 archons?? =/


Had the zerg either researched neural or learn how to not clump broodlords game would have end the game 10 minutes before, thanks for the reminder.


Microing broods is like trying to micro hydra.... And spreading them out too much makes them easier to be picked off by remaining stalkers for w/e the vortex doesn't get. Too much QQ


Just an observation of a glaring balance flaw.
Zerg is supposed to be ahead in the number of bases because of low cost-efficiency, however broodlords/infestors is the most cost-efficient unit combinaison of the game, only challenged by storm/colossi against bioball in PvT.



If you really want to see balance problems watch Leenock vs HeRo from Ro16 series.... Protoss late game is extremely hard to beat when played correctly. Zerg has to play perfect and even then it's very hard.


Both HerO v Leenock from Code S and Parting v Violet here had play that would be laughed at when this game gets more figured out.

Wings of Liberty is still so young, so unexplored in late game and lacks so much refinement. Claiming racial imbalance in super late game is so silly because there is not enough data on it and because we see new developments whenever a matchup has so far found a stable way to transition there.

At some point this game needs to be figured out. It will probably not be in Wings of Liberty, because any projected release date for Heart of the Swarm will certainly come way before this point. But all the same, at some point we just have to sit back and look at the game develop over a long period of time. Both spectators and professionals like to point out whatever they think to be evidence of imbalance, but even if a game was balanced perfectly, we will go through long periods of things feeling imbalanced because a race had something figured out while the other did not.

Of course it is always going to be a fear that we will never reach that stage. I hope Blizzard will have the integrity and confidence to leave things alone at some point; the whining will be immense but the alternative is that we just remain in a flux where skill and development takes a back seat to micro managing racial win percentages through nerfs and buffs.

Zergs are just bad at micro. They're so used to throwing away lings that they think it's okay for broodlords to be left unmicro'd.



Yeah, every Zerg in the world just doesn't micro... /sarcasm

Racial hatred isn't proof. Protoss has 75%+ win rate vs Zerg in GSL. I guess it's cause every Zerg just refuses to micro?


When the theory was that all of the code S protoss are bad than that theory panned out by most of them falling out of code S and new protoss taking there place.


Umm, no idea what you are trying to say? ...

One none Korean and he's getting own... The gap is huge, seems like only Stephano and Naniwa have the level to compete with Koreans, all other foreigners are really far from the average Korean


Average Koreans? Haha.

Naniwa has a shot - his PvP >= MC and Parting, his PvT is good enough to take down Ganzi and Heart, but not MKP. He loses to DRG and Violet, though.

Stephano, no, because this line-up is Terran heavy and Stephano's ZvT isn't at this caliber.


Stephano´s ZvT definately is at this caliber. I mean, Polt is not bad, is he?

What are you talking about? I think most people would agree that the games have been interesting from the get go.
