Infestors are way too strong IMO. There's just so much utility in them and combined with Broodlords, they're really really very frustrating to watch. I mean I know that EMPs, feedbacks and snipes counter them, but being able to chain fungal is ridiculously strong. Particularly when there's a lot of damage output from fungals as well. | ||

I see Byun more as a classic TvZer. Drops and trade bio well with great micro, not the new turtle style and split map to BC-raven-ghosts-whatever. I guess Byun can play this style too but I've never seen him do it. | ||

You have to be quite a bit ahead to make that transition safe. It just takes so much time and resources to make the BC/Raven transition. It also depends on map. MVP did it on Metropolis because he was able to siege/bunker up his side. On smaller maps with multiple attack paths, it is very hard to do. | ||

Pre-emptive splitting isn't something to gasp at, with this change there would be so much more skill needed on both sides. Zerg aiming, terran dodgin'! Gogo Byun, hope he can re vs Symbol and pwn him hard! They would probably have to cheapen cost of infestor so that there could be more missles though if they did that. | ||

PF are pretty good at dealing with runbys so you just force an engagement from the Z. | ||

Byun handled the BL-Ultra-BL-Ultra transitions pretty much perfectly, had the game in the bag, then forgot to split his vikings once. He made late game Zerg not look as strong as it has in the past til that one mistake. That's why i'd like that Fungal Growth does less damages. I mean, pinning down unit is just already huge (especially combined with Baneling and/or ultras). Add up the damage, and it's incredibly efficient... I don't know how this could be adressed... And to which extent... | ||

if "bad" means "made it this far in arguably the hardest tournament bracket yet for sc2" then yeah, 2 bad zergs. | ||

Anything that completely takes Micro away from the game worsens the overall viewing experience. Very boring unit. | ||

The constant dropping and harass made it impossible for the BL-Ultra transitions to be as effective as they could've been otherwise. It's so much more entertaining too. | ||
