wtf are you talking about? its awesome to go back in and show what the casters are talking about rather than just looking at the casters talk. and waste of time? ever think the players weren't ready yet?

Typical Wolf. Downplay an awesome move by Violet to insult Symbol.


not rlly. those drops should never do that much damage at once.

Coming from a Terran or Protoss, yes. From a zerg is totally unexpected. All of his units were at Violets front door and he couldn't throw his hydras away at the third because they were important to his composition. To downplay such a clever move and insult a pro (who is in the finals of an extremely tough tournament mind you) is seriously bad taste.

these guys showing that zvz is actually a great match-up, just not as much when people mirror each other's builds!


It would be a far better matchup though if there was a stage after both players go roach/infestor .

there is, ive seen a lot of games go to broodlords


But from what i've seen teching up alot of times leaves you open to just be overrun by roach/infestor while teching up.

well thats the tricky bit, normally it only happens in split map positions where both players are maxed with a good bank



Since i have no idea about ZvZ a quick question , shouldn't Ultralisks be kind of good in the later stages ? I mean they deal bonus damage to Roaches while beeing just as/almost as fast and can't be snared by fungal ? I mean yeah i realize you rarely have melee upgrades but still.


i think you can easily fungal ultras and at this point you have so many roaches to one shot ultralisk also zvz is so intensive u cant save money for ultralisk


You can fungal Ultras but it will only deal damage and not snare them. Ultras are immune to slow/snare effects. Yes you can still focus them with a good concave though.


didnt know that , thats interesting, so archons, colosus and thors should also be immune to slow effects

Yeah Violet was a pretty strong player. If they want to talk about someone who was c level in wc3 that would be Polt. I knew the name Lof.Polt back from Wc3 but he never was really that good.

I just love how MLG have modelled the analysis on American television sports coverage, it makes the whole thing feel so legitimate in terms of SC2 being a 'sport'.

Come to think of it I'm not sure why drops aren't used more often in zvz, if no one goes muta there's very little air defence around


you're packing off a lot of supply into ovies. seems good if you know you're ahead going into the mid-game, but can be shaky. if you're not ahead, you're relying on the drops to do significant damage, because the gas spent on speed and drops is essentially missile/carapace upgrades.

Slow effects yes . Snare/Stun only Ultras ( thanks to the passive frenzy ability )

violet played orc not NE, and he had 11 zotac wins ranking him as 4th

You can't slow Archons / Colossi / Thors which is why that Archons massive change was also pretty big in TvP with concussive . You can still stun those units though.

I like it because it gives the casters a chance to explain exactly what was going on, and to go back and point out some things that may have been missed while they were watching all of the immediate action.


That last replay that came up drew out some great conversation from all 4 of the casters.
