Polish candy is prolly just wodka in disguise. Its what they feed their kids anyway.


Say what fool ? And in NL you feed kids with marihuana ?

Joke is on you, marihuana is really healthy. You don't even get high when you don't heat it up, only if heaten right in animal fat (or smoked obv.).


I heard that even alcohol is worse than Marihuana, is this right?

Let's complain when that finally happens.

Actually it already happens when the Zerg player does not go into Zombie mode.

well protoss players back then said " zerg can just micro and one day mothership vortex will be useless and pvz will be so imba *cry*cry*"
now terrans say "zergs might eventually be THAT good at spreading their air units that HSM won't be careful anymore"

and what did protosses do?
they continued using vortexes and it still worked even if they didnt kill 100% of the broods anymore
terrans just need to do it so they at least force the zerg to micro and it will still be impossible to minimize the splash enough that HSM would be useless

did you ever try to micro corrupters and broodlords

I tried that back when i still played terran and wondered why zergs always mess up their BL/corruptor spread vs vortex so badly

it's fricking impossible to spread them ans still have them attack at the same time
It's not a problem to spread them and have them sit idle in the back but that is not what you want to happen either

Protoss keep resorting to Vortex it because it is pretty much the only potential way to beat a good Inf/BL player in an engagement. The other is mass upgraded air which is even tougher to pull off.

The only other reliable way I've seen lategame PvZ be played is HerO's warp prism play, which incidentally I'd love to see a bit more, not sure why other people don't exploit the immobility of the composition more a la Terrans.


what the hell dude

mothership is very reliable or people woudln't use it

so are HSM's: they will always do damage or at least force the zerg to spread out very very very well which will make the air army very easy for vikings to kill

I don't get what your problem is

As much as Violet has been praised, how is it possible that people dont notice burrowed Infestors at this level of play? It's not like you need Overseers to see them, you just need overseers to be able to attack them.

You can spot infestors that are burrowed? Really? At least on the settigns I play on this isn't possible, may need to upgrade my setup!

Burrowed Infestors leave a thin dark trail while moving. It's really hard to discern. On desert maps it would be easier to see I think.

Hopefully Nestea can keep himself nice and rested and play more series without exhaustion, because when he plays like that. <3 Unf.

I'm still anticipating Mvp/MC to take the whole tournament, though.

It's way harder to see than cloaked units. On creep I don't even know if you can discern it.

You can, but it's incredibly hard since the creep is actually already moving. When I see people catching burrowed units on creep, I start believing in super powers.

I think I've probably spotted and scanned burrowed infestors like twice ever.

Is there anyone who actually manages to do it semi reliably? o_O

I don't get what your problem is

What problem? I don't like how it functions, I didn't ever say it can't work, or can't regularly work, but I just don't like throwing all my eggs in one basket, especially if it relies on my opponent making an error to actually work.
