What exactly do you propose he do about it? No Protoss is particularly confident in lategame PvZ, which is why all of them avoid it. You're acting as if there's some obviously alternative that every Korean pro just doesn't feel like using.

2 base allin like the other Korean pros?

u dont have to outrace, do some all ins? suppy got up to 4 running bases for free. im not saying allins would 100% win, but come on at least trying something different.

The Zerg won't take a 4th base if they see you're all-inning them.

Brilliant read by Taeja on the 4-gate. TLO and Apollo just about figured out how Taeja knew about it. Mana's stalker was aggressively denying scouting in the middle of the map, but once the SCV got to the natural the two sentries let it walk by to see a very very delayed nexus. He didn't even need to forcefield, the two sentries could have targeted it down if they were in a better position blocking the ramp. But he kept them off to the side and did a weird slow stutter step that let the SCV live long enough to see, again, a really delayed Nexus. Taeja must have actually been watching the SCV for a moment, because a mini-map only scout would have probably fooled him. I think the play still would have fooled about 50% of pro players.

It's sad to see Hero struggle so much in PvZ, he always had such an amazing PvZ style but I think the new meta it doesn't work.

Zergs just dont need to build any units more than they need to defend, they are never looking to shut down greedy protoss thirds because they just take a 4th and tech freely.

Any amount harrassment that doesn't kill tech does almost no damage because the zerg is being so greedy. Infestors offer such amazing supply and larva efficiency that they and spines will hold anything until broods are out. Infestors are so much better at defense than offense taht the complete lack of zerg attacking pressure doesn't matter.

And finally, the mothership no longer solves the issue of brood lords because zergs split their army.

I don't think any of this is imbalance, its just the metagame. I think protoss will have to learn to split void rays in order to deal with broods.
