Turns out there is an ulterior motive - selling Symbol T-shirts at his shop. Geez. | ||

He punished MKP for his being too greedy and did it perfectly. And today he proved he can win in the long macro game thanks to superb multi tasking and decision making | ||

Different strategies are used because of patch and the meta game shifts. It would be like saying the ghosts nerfing didn't matter because the game didn't have ghosts. The nerf IS the reason for lack of ghost. Exactly, since ghost nerf terran has no real answer to late game zerg, and the patch helps zerg get through to this stage of the game  Symbol is obviously a great player though, and showed his skills in that series for all to see. | ||

Did they make emp and snipe completely unusable? Because I don't think they did. They made them less good, but that's not the same thing. | ||

They made it so that ghost is only good against infestor but absolutely terrible against everything else Zerg have. So you have 12 ghost for infestors, and zerg make BL / Ultra after lose infestors, you are stuck with 20 gas heavy supply that does pretty much nothing. | ||

If he plays the way he did today, he might very well win this season's Code S. (He's a royal roader as well, right?) Yes, he is prob best chance of one we got in a while. However, I don't think he is better than DRG. Symbol sometime (which is pretty often nowadays) does absolutely amazing stuff, but occasionally he have games where you go "WTF??!" In fact, quite similar to MKP in this regard. DRG just plays at one (extremely high) level constantly, and it's really really tough to beat him at that level in a BoX. | ||

Right because beating Parting ( best toss ) and MKP ( best terran ) in back to back series isn't a huge accomplishment or anything. | ||

I don't remember mentioning Reapers at all actually and nor do I remember saying Ghosts are viable. I just said both of the abilities still work and can still perform a role, whether you deem that role to be of value or not is up to you.

Since the Infestor is the lynch pin of virtually any Zerg composition and the main provider of decisive, victorious engagements for Zerg players, I'd personally value any unit which can potentially stop them, or reduce their immense power. | ||
