I personally enjoyed watching mvp crush face in French. "Le Barbeque" made me chuckle  | ||

I don't play zerg so I am not fully aware of the exact timing you have to start transitioning into drops and how much you have to sacrifice, but against forge FE you can scout quite nicely because the first stalker comes out really late. Personally I think flanking is the best way to counter this strategy, as shown by violet. It still won't be easy, but definitely possible. The sentry energy is vital, and the zerg has to be very active to milk out forcefields whenever possible and try to engage from multiple angles. Maybe Blizz should patch the ventral sacs research time.. | ||

There was enough FFs that feast just sectioned off both armys since he had like 7 sentrys or something. If you try to bait out FFs then you could just lose a chunk of your army, and then you are most likely dead for sure. | ||

There's that, and then there's the fact that the closest english speaking country is a lot closer for those in Europe. The closest for any asian country is Australia and I would assume there's not as much integration between those as there are between Europeans. | ||
