Oh man, Taeja vs Alicia finals is still alive. Good chance it happens too if Alicia can dodge Stephano.

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.


but its just mechanics, injects arent quite as make or break as a marine split or blink micro, i mean injects arent particularly hard, i guess for me zerg just lack the wow factor as a spectator, theyre fun to play but i never feel amazingly impressed by any zerg players when i watch them play, but i was when i first saw mkp marine split and hero with his crazy warp prism play, i hope HotS brings more spectator eye candy for the zerg race

Did you watch Symbol vs Parting or Stephano vs. Ryung/MKP?


Probably, what was exciting about those games?

Good exciting engagements, the exact thing you (or whoever originally said that) are saying don't exist.


I didnt say that exciting engagements didnt exist, jsut that all the clutch plays occur from micro on the non zergs end, i mean check out zvz, roach wars are literally just 1 a and fungal the biggest clump :/ itd be nice if zerg got some sort of active ability that required alot of apm so you can visually see how quickly the player is playing

This is so insanely ignorant, ZvZ roach wars are all about how well you can split and spread your roaches, all you are showing with these posts are that you have no idea how the zerg race works.


The only roach splitting is positioning and thats minimal, i mean it usually just comes down to who attacks into a bad position or who has more roaches and hydras :/ All your currently doing at the moment is being extremely defensive about your race when im not even attacking it, just saying if there was some sort of equivalent for the zerg race and if not, something should be added in HotS.

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.

It is actually amazing how stupid opening that was. I mean seriously... Atleast go heavily upgraded lings into ultras, which would probably be pretty bad, but on this map fast BLs is just throwing the towel really.

yeah, if Losira played his normal style, it would make more sense on TD.

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.


Do you not understand how the game works at all? "Press 1 key for remax" doesn't exactly work out when you have less than 300 minerals and 1 mining base.

Damn, First managed to avoid elimination after going down 0-2 in his first match. Now I kinda wish we knew what happened along his path because it would be pretty awesome if he managed to win it all.

Sadly, he got 2-0d by a Euro zerg...

Doesn't bode well for him vs Losira, unless jetlag played a role somehow.

And this First guy seems to be quite good at PvT


He was way behind, Teaja was everywhere on the map with armies and expansions and Losira was stuck on Broodlords, that could only defend one base at a time. And in the end he even started failing at that...

Watch stephano vs any protoss, he micro roach/ling like a boss. You can't tell me that is not amazing play, it's not a coincidence stephano- roach/ling attacks does twice the amount of damage that any other roachling attacks.

going to be so sad when losira has 30 bl and 15 infestors and 30 corruptors and completely smashes taeja's army and wins

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.

And how would a HSM help against that at all? "Oh my raven got fungal'd out of HSM range, gg?"

Nooo Losira vs First teamkill tomorrow, that's gonna be so sad to watch and probably terrible games too. Teamkills are always the most awkward set of mindgames.
