Sry, but stupid opening by Losira. Basicially put himself in way behind economically and in terms of dynamics very weak, without any ways to ever transition out of broodlords... on the biggest map in the pool.

I think Day[9] was right when he said it would have made more sense to go insanely fast ultras instead of BLs

Wasn't the gg a bit early ? I mean, when you see the comeback Stephano managed to do, it wasn't 100% lost, maybe 90% ?

Please don't start this.

Losira was starved from his 3 bases, and his 4th was undefendable. Oh and he lost like 4 BL to the most randomass nuke. I don't blame him

You're actually afraid he's going to win, aren't you? That's why you're offering preemptive excuses. "Oh, if he loses, it's because he didn't build Ravens!" Relax man, Blizzard doesn't read LR threads anyway, you can't stop the nerf even if you wanted to.

No, it's because it's the most used zerg strategy when they are behind.

You use your last 2 bases and turtle super hard to try and make a deathball, then try and catch the vikings in a big fungal.

It can make a terran with 5k/3k bank still lose becuase they will lose 100 supply and zerg will lose like 30.

It happens a lot.

is it just me or does it look like taeja has to work so much harder than losira for these wins, maybe there are subtle things losira is doing that im missing but it just seems to be endless a move zerg into godly split terran with zerg attacking wherever he wants and taeja attacking tactically and precisely :/

i think you're underestimating what losira is doing but why does it matter anyways?

thats what im asking, can you point out what losira is doing thats good so i can appreciate him more, because i can never see what zerg does that is wholely defining of their skill, but for terrans its obvious from how well they split in engagements, protoss with blink and shit too, but zerg has nothing really defining that i can look at and go "holy shit, that guy is good"

inject

I guess, but you dont see injects and its hardly inspiring, only problem with that is stephano seems to be the guy with the most stuff all the time and he says that his injects are his worse aspect of his play. I guess im the only one that doesnt find remaxing as a zerg very impressive? :S

Just because you as a viewer, who doesn't understand zerg, doesn't find it impressive doesn't mean that it isn't.

It's a spectator sport though.

So? if you are sophisticated watcher you can appreciate it, if not you don't. I honestly don't see where this conversation is going, zerg need to be nerfed because injects aren't fun to watch for people who don't understand the game?

I didn't say I didn't understand the importance of spot on injects, I'm saying it doesn't make the games better to watch.

It's like saying boxing is made more impressive because I know the boxers are really good at skipping a rope.

It's not even remotely like that, it would be like someone who understands how important footwork is in boxing, not just watching for big ass haymaker.

The problem with injects is that they're technically very simple to excel at. You just have to hit V every 40 seconds on the dot. Now, this isn't easy by any means, but once someone perfects it, it's the same every game. Battle micro is far more dynamic and changes from game to game.

Lol at how he gave up without trying to fight. He could have won since after any fight, Z is just "press 1 key for remax", anyway I hope he's gonna lose in the loser bracket, or against Taeja again.
