Exactly. TOo many people are missing the point of the whole discussion.
When you land a storm, you can do something about it, you can eat it, you can dodge it, you can try and juke it out you can do lots of things.
When you land a fungal, you just ignore those units cause 100% there is not a thing you can do. Nothing at all. Those units will die and you don't have a choice in the matter.
Stuff like that, SHOULD NOT be in the game. Nothing should be an absolute.

At the end they died to broodlords/siege splash; he only got one fungal on each group of units (because the infestors got exploded by siege tanks after unburrowing lol).

As I said, I agree with the argument but there are places to discuss that and there was no real prompt there. That game was decided by really good spellcasting, not by OP fungal growths - he didn't get a fungal on a clump of vikings and the game ended, he got three really nice fungals on packs of marines in the lategame. 90% of those marines die against any decently powerful spell.

I remember in previous threads people were talking about an option to display the poll results in a fixed order... if you select that option the polls will look very nice i.e.
***** ||||||||||

for an average game and

Edit: Check the box "Always display results in this order" when you make the recommended polls
Edit 2: ignore post doesn't work :\

gl wp! Golden implying Keen just got lucky  ?
|
Despite Golden losing that game I was more impressed by his play then Keen's in the second game.

That build is so technical, even thought I'm a zerg, but I love it!

Golden was so sturdy this last game

Thing is that option doesn't work. Maybe R1CH could fix it though.

The biggest problem with Fungal is that it removes micro mechanics from the game rather than add to them.

khaldor looks like Hitman

Golden looks like a combination of Jjakji and Genius (or maybe puzzle) IMO =S
