Yeah but that's what I've always loved about ZvZ. It's a stressful as hell MU and a single misclick can lose you the game but arguably that's how all zerg games go. ZvP is probably the most forgiving micro-wise, but ZvT and ZvZ are both super fragile. If you engage at all wrong or misclick at a crucial moment you can lose EVERYTHING. Especially back in the day when metagame vs T was to go that heavy muta cloud and try to just dissect them with it before critical thor mass.

Also, I think at the least ZvZ in SC2 is less volatile than BW. BW was seriously coin-flippy BOs into muta-scourge wars all day.

I dno, I feel like the volatility and the intensity of the matchup just elevates it to an art-form. The better player will drop a game here and there, but in a BoX or over a few seasons, the better player will always emerge victorious. And for me, what I saw in tonight's games, Roro just plain outplayed Leenock. It wasn't like a crazy bane detonation on a drone drill or some queen bugging out while trying to block ramp. It was just straight up late-game brilliance by Roro.

Especially game 3. He cold-clocked Leenock. He did exactly the transition Leenock did to him in game 2, except way better. He dropped spines to protect his 3rd and 4th while trading, instead of just lazily sitting on 2k mineral bank like Leenock did. He kept his drone count in the 50s to get an edge in army supply, yet still always managed to squeeze out the units he needed. Constantly scouted with overseers and changelings to keep track of Leenock's army, and spread creep aggressively. He just used the typical BW level of mechanics with constant roaming armies, multi-prongs, and insane amounts of scouting. It's what I've been dying to see for so long in SC2 and NOT getting it from the GSL players. Thank god Kespa has arrived.

Everytime a kespa player wins, all I see is troll-bait on the TL forums. "It was his worst matchup after the patch", "It was all luck", "He hasn't been good for almost a year", "Kespa players aren't dominating (despite not having fully switched into a 2 year old game) -- clearly they won't succeed", or trollbait on the other side "MVP is the only good BW player to have switched so clearly all Kespa players will dominate". Honestly, the reddit forums are way better lately, and I say this as someone who usually dislikes reddit.

I agree w/ Trowa, you guys need to stop arguing about this shit so much.
