ROFL ZvP is still so bad...

its probably the most boring non mirror match up out there ;/


I'd rather watch mirrors, TvT is like chess, PvP is always worth the lulz, and ZvZ is pretty cool nowadays, ZvP is just awful to watch


well, i really dislike watching zvz, thats why i excluded mirrors, but i guess even zvzs are more intense ;D


ZvZs are getting really good. Watch some of the latest GSTL matches.

Other than the fact that the super lategame ZvP is broken (the whole mothership cross your fingers and hope you hit a good vortex thing), ZvP seems pretty reasonable right now

Is that what you were referring to?[/QUOTE]
I just don't like the way macro plays out in the matchup. Since this is an LR thread, I'll keep my balance opinions to myself, but in a nutshell, I only have a problem with macro games, not so much 2base builds.

could have done much better.

Early ling speed, intercept the sentries while they're moving across the map.

There's nothing wrong with ZvP


There's a lot wrong with ZvP design wise, but this game didn't really show it. It was a pretty typical 2base blink all-in that's been around for a year. Nothing new to see.

I think P is the most badly designed race, I think dragoon is better than stalker.


Dragoons can't walk down ramps, stalkers can

So very very true

...No words. You pick the best designed unit protoss has to show that it is badly designed and then say that the dragoon of all units is better?

Well personaly i always miss the rain dance the dragons could do some times

Well his macro in the early game was a bit off, and it hit him like a train when it most mattered.

maybe you should watch more and assume less


he's right though, ZvP has been so bad for a long time now, either toss wins with 2 base all in or it comes down to whether they can get a vortex off or if the Z can pick of MS

underwhelming game, nothing you can do against pushes like this, if you preemptively defend you are behind, if you fight you die anyway

And Browder used to talk about that you should not be able to just mass one unit i WoL, but all I saw was Stalkers.

Sentries? Zealot warp ins? Did you watch the same game? Stephano is famous for maxing on roaches by the way. You guys can't be serious.

Lol. I really hope these aren't Zerg tears in ZvP of all things.



Thats funny, maybe you're a different Shiori?

You're the one with the bible posts crying so hard about how Protoss can't win, how the match-up UTTERLY favors Zerg, how Protoss can't put pressure early game (which was proven wrong in the 1 game stephano took from Oz) , how stephano is terrible and HerO and MC are so much better etc etc etc ad nauseam.

Balance discussion isn't for LR threads.

Did you even watch Oz vs Stephano yesterday? ZvP is bad sometimes. It also has the potential to be amazing.
