Yeh it's awesome how he got so much better after moving out of Korea, everyone would've expected the opposite to occur. Didn't he move back very recently though? I guess Leenock is up there as well but his zvp is historically pretty bad compared to the others. | ||

They are potential customers, they simply don't pay because they can get it for free. That's an absolutely terrible argument. There's a ridiculous amount of people for example that have bought SC2 because they couldn't pirate it to play online. People have pirated a ton of shit that I'm sure they would have bought otherwise, myself included. And I would say this is the norm. People who say otherwise are often deluding themselves. All the pirating convo is irrelevant. Pirating has been going on, and will always continue going on. People can bitch and moan endlessly and it won't change anything. Just like the drug war, when there is demand someone will always supply. Completely useless trying to stop it, so why waste time/resources making it a big deal? The only reason that some people go pyscho over it on TL is because they have some kind of moral hard-on that needs tending to every so often. | ||

Since many Zergs follow the Stephano roach max in the early-mid game, and late-game is usually only lost if the Zerg doesn't split their Brood Lords, I am not surprised. I always thought Zerg would start to excel in the match-up once they learned to spread their Brood Lords. This tournament looks just like my PvZ. | ||

Unfortunately, Symbol's drops were the perfect counter to MC's build. His army was fragile in a head-on fight, so he needed forcefields + splash to survive. The 3 bases split MC's army up a lot, and the drops allowed Symbol to dictate where the fights happened. Great play by Symbol, I'm just sad to see MC miss out on a rematch vs Stephano. alternativ not taking the 3rd and losing anyway? canons at the 3rd = less units = instant lose. I dont understand PvZ at any angle... Its just definitive broken. | ||

I honestly don`t get it. ZXZ is probably the most intense matchup of the whole game. Early game is based on pure micro. The best one with the best micro wins, simply as that. It`s not based on luck (some say it is, but in fact it is not if you scout properly) but on your own skills. I love ling / baneling fights, the decision making of each player to see how they can maximize the damage and stuff like that. Mid game you need to find the balance between units and drones, really awesome again to see the decision making. What about mid-late game? Infestors play is AWESOME, and it`s even better when there are INFESTORS DROP or INFESTORS BURROWED, if you guys haven`t see that, give it a shot, It`s awesome and I hope we can see some infestor heavily playstyle! ZXZ in a spectator point of view is just perfect. I`m not zerg and I`m high master terran. | ||

I'm curious if you're saying that as a zerg player or not, because in all of my ZvZ experience its pretty much exclusively luck based. | ||

They just laugh at that. It takes them 1 inject to fix their eco. Haven't won a PvZ that has gone past 18 min mark in 4 months. As a terran player I love seeing this type of reply from toss players.

I think he had to return due to visa issues, he didn't go back to a training house though I think he returned home to Jeju. As for why he improved that's up in the air I guess some players simply aren't comfortable in a training house. | ||

As much as terran hates toss late game, toss hates zergs period. at least a terran can win mid game, toss can't win early, mid, or late game vs zerg. Ugh, dude. why not just say you're having trouble with zerg instead of pretending everyone thinks zerg is op. | ||
