Yeah god forbid Zerg wins games. I mean, who wants that?


It's not that Zerg win, it's the way that they win.

Well, maybe it is about Zerg winning. Just a little bit.

KiLLeR is hardly less established. He got 3rd at an IEM last year, New York I believe. He's easily one of the best players from the Americas and always has been.

... I just realized... Out of a lot of ZvP fastpools I've seen lately - even if the protoss holds the pool with minimal losses he will still have horrible chance of winning (at least from my experience, when watching tournaments and streams)

Take entombed out of those wins and I wonder how many wins will be there, I'm certain that protosses just need to cut back on the greed as all zergs do these fast pools.


It happened a lot on TDA aswell. Since it isn't in tournament pools anymore, I don't know if that would count. But zerg only tend to do it, if the map lets them have similar economy (too difficult 3rd for the Z / too easilly taken 3rd for P). Obviously, if the zerg can go 3base v 2base he'll do that every time... And on top of that fastpooling on spacebear and metropolis would be suicide

I feel they need Take to explain the trade fair audience in German how/why to cheer. Cheer was so underwhelming for Hasu (from Cologne) it might have got into his head.

This is so disgusting to watch. Did you see Bomber's Ravens in his game against Slivko on Daybreak? 2k+ gas gone in chain Fungals...


but you blame zerg when nestea loses 2k+ gas to HSM? how does it even make sense?

To be fair, a Zerg who cannot split BL/corruptor deserve to lose. A Terran who cannot split raven/viking deserve to lose as well.


Fungal removes the ability to pull back, removes micro and punishes too hard... HSM is dodgable, and Raven require to get so much closer. In addition to only be able to get enough energy for one HSM for every Raven it's not comparable. Infestors are good in every matchup, versus everything.

I do blame Bomber for clumping his Ravens, but it does not change anything about chain Fungals being stupid and absolutely boring to watch.

I think this is what a lot of Zergs don't get. It's not that BL/Infestor is just "stupid awesome imba", it's just that's it's too effective compared to how easy it is to use. Fungal is entirely too powerful and punishing. It really shouldn't straight up root units and it should have a slightly shorter range.
