Or make colossi have friendly fire and luck factor aswell. Mohahaha

My Protoss heart bares scars from the Darkest Hour, I find it most difficult to look favorably upon Marines. :-D

They'd be a damn sight better than colossus.

Too bad it isnt just this tournament. And who cares about prelims, look at round 2.
And my previous reply just explained why Round 2 looks like that; it isn't due to the fact that Zergs are doing bad, it's more of a reason that most of those Zergs are either Kespa Zergs matched against GSL players or Zergs matched against 3 of the current best Protoss, including the current GSL champion (Seed, MC, Squirtle). DRG's game was also close as hell as we just watched, he could of easily won that last game but he threw it away, so it had nothing to do with balance.

This round so far some KESPA zergs are losing (no real surprise honestly) DRG did something that I do not understand and the reigning GSL champion beat someone.

I don't think you understand how reavers are exciting..

I mean it's a nice thing to think about but the truth is it's a unit that would definitely be difficult to transfer over which is probably why it wasn't in in the first place.
I mean, what would be the point of the Reaver if it didn't do that insane damage on a slow attack rate? That completely defeats the purpose of Prism harass.
50-60% hit chance, that introduces RNG into an e-sport and that's BAD BAD.
Like I said. I loved the unit in BW, but I'm happier keeping my fond memories of it rather than seeing it unsuccessfully introduced to SC2 and ruining its legacy.

well I was way off...
Effort never had a chance, let alone take a game.

these games are so disappointing to watch. will zergs ever win Wat.. thanks for the response. i've been watching for the last few days and barely seen zergs win. that is my observation. Your observation ignores the fact that pretty much every Zerg that's lost had opponents that were favored against them, especially with DRG currently slumping. i don't get how it ignores that. zergs lost no? that is all. meh. i just want the kespa players to play well and they are not.
Well, your initial post seemed to imply some sort of balance whine about Zergs not winning. My point was simply that it's pretty expected that most of these Zergs won't win because they're all the underdogs in their matches.
