Sort of, drops have always been really effective vs zergs.

zerg is 3-14 in maps so far, drg took a map and curious won 2:0 against kespa's rain
Wow, didn't know it was that bad : o
The game is quite balanced now imo, the zergs are losing to superior players. Creator beating DRG is no upset at this point tbh. Creator is one of the best protoss players and DRG is in a slump. Hope he can get back.
Yeh i'd have been shocked if Creator lost to DRG given how bad he's looked vs protoss lately.

MMA once had 90% TvZ just from dropping blueflame hellion and marines everywhere so i guess yes

Any matchup worth watching the VODs so far?
startale squirtle vs bbooongbboongprime game 1 on ohana, + Show Spoiler +
immortal allin by squirtle and standard by b4, b4 played really well and had the army lead and looked to have won at some points in the engagement, but some good force fields and LEGENDARILY SICK AS HELL warp prism+immortal micro, with squirtle saving 2 immortals constantly with red HP, in the end killing about 60 roaches from immortals alone and came back to win the game
Thx, gonna watch that right when the stream is finished.

I honestly think it's because drop defense was way easier because of Scourges.
Didn't they just put Lurkers in their mineral lines or something?

Yes.
Which? And to that one guy posting the link to the Blizz stream... Blizzard saving Esports sounds sooooo wrong Oo
Well, it sounds wrong, but you can't deny the fact that they try a bit with this stream. (Yeah, it won't forgive Morhaime's speech...)
It's GOM's official twitch stream, why are you guys giving Blizzard credit?
Because for Day 1 and 2, there was no 480p stream, only 240p. I think Blizzard did something probably. Told Gom that WCS had to have better quality and stuff.

Sunkens are better than spines at defending, plus lurks, plus scourge.

Nope, waste of ressources.
Hm... oh, wait a minute. I think I might have been thinking of it the other way around. Lurkers in the enemy's mineral line? If not, please don't shoot me. @.@

The only KeSPA anyone to win anything is Reality. Zerg have been doing pretty poorly across the board.
Oh dont be all grumpy geezers, Soulkey could wreck most of terrans with his play if it was not for Gumiho who is top3 terran in the world right now.
i'm a big gumi fan but i doubt he's top3. top7 or so maybe though
Well, MVP, MKP, Taeja, Polt, Byun... ? I don't know who else could be listed as a top Terran before GuMiHo then...
Any ideas ? I'd like to say Bomber, but lack of consistency says no. And I don't know what to think about MMA yet...
My Top 3 means CURRENT top3, like last month performance is the barrier. And we are talkign about TvZ. Surely Gumiho is not Top3 in those circumstances?. I could be wrong i dont even follow SC2 that much as i used to But from a glance it looked like it.
