Just think about kiwikaki vs stephano game, I can't be the only one who's enjoying watching late game pvz.

It was interesting when it was rare and a kind of weird/creative play. When it became standard lategame it just got really boring to watch, at least for me.


yeah literally every late game pvz is exactly the same now. and to add to the lameness its down to one cast on one unit that decides a 25minute+ game

Yeah, unless you're Hero with all those warp prisms all over the place, and a more templar-centric midgame. So much more exciting to watch

Congrats on your reaver ^^

And yeah, I'm not going to compare, but I definitely do really like Hero's vZ playstyle. Crazy stuff, really want to see it today >.<

Holy shit, I should stop posting now I have my Reaver.

It's just so sad, BW PvZ involved so much cool multitasking and trading from both races, but it's really not optimal to play that way in WoL. You can win for sure, but it's just more consistently strong to deathball and do timings

What about stargate transitions and prism harass? Also vortex decides the game only if Zerg makes terrible mistake of not splitting his brood lords.

zerg splitting brood lords happens as often as DT expand. I mean cmon when you try to seige a base you have to like have muta spread vs a thor, and even then a vortex can still hit a good amount of them or all of them depending on how many you have.

Ouchies, First landing some big blows. I don't think Hero will get sent out D: they probably don't want to risk a PvP, and Taeja will probably be the ace or last person to be sent out (and if he's not, he just might kill off IM :X).

Zergs split their BL a lot now days. They're only really clumped when the Zerg is caught off guard or is being complacent because Brood Lord armies normally win any ways with minimal micro.

Finally, Ret actually has Burrow and puts it to good use.

the problem is it shouldnt even come down to that, but zergs are forced to go broodlord because ultras are so shit vs protoss, and there is no other end game tech, and that is why zergs always do the same thing cant really switch...maybe very rarely but tier 1 and 2 units own ultras.

Really? Im no PvZ expert by any means, but isn't Ohana like a known Protoss maps with all the narrow corridors?

or the bls start atking, and so they just natually clump. How many times have you seen a protoss get a whifted vortex vs money vortex? Its pretty easy to get either the BLs or the infestors from the vortex.

or the protoss just blinks under the BLs.
