As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

Maybe the Raven buff will help Terran out late game after all

Meh, it's just a speed buff.


Speed buff only helps a tiny amount, but I agree. It's meh and doesn't address the issue. Ravens are basically floating detectors until they eventually get enough energy to cast a missle. Makes their relative cost (not even including upgrades), hardly worth enough unless the Terran is very rich on a macro map like Atlantis or Metro. Try pulling this on possibly a smaller map like Ohana or Daybreak, probably not as easy.

Apologies for the bo7/bo5 confusion. The player rulebook said bo5 and that's what we're going with. #iem

Mvp proves for the 10th time this week end that ravens save terran against super late game zerg.

yeah Mvp proves that he got the best unit control like most of terrans units control


Not at all. Even with prefect l;anded HSM, Zerg still at advantage.

Even when terran wins, theres still imbalance can't stop imbalance whine I guess


How dare you. This is MVP after all. He should be winning ^_^

Killing 45 SCV into losing.


Suicide 9 broods into losing. Time and time again games go to whether Zerg keeps Infestors under brood ball or not. If you do, terran can't HSM, if you don't, broods die. Nerchio had the brood pack within 6 range of the Ravens, plenty of space to 9 range fungal.

wow MVP is really impressing this game. Although I gotta say he is one of those lucky guys, aside from being quite a good player. Whenever Nerchio tried to come with burrowed infestors to deflect the siege fire, there was always a random scan or ravens flying by.. Nerchio was able to win quite a few games with his burrowed festors play, but not this time.

Best SC2 player in history edging out #2 foreign Zerg?


Yeah, I was about to say ~~


since when does that matter? Isn't Zerg just amove? I mean, every balance whine states that skill doesn't matter for Zergs, as long as they get Unit Composition X they win. And suddenly everything is different???

The myth of the "invincible maxed zerg army" is crushed again.

When Zerg doesn't bother to Fungal Ravens moving forward, sure.


You're going to move forward anyways, so the raven at least stops the zerg from advancing if it's fungaled and the terran is careful with positioning.

All the terrans saying ravens are bad don't understand the problem is not the range or cost of HSM but the time it takes to have a raven with enough energy.

Beautiful army position by MVP vs. 1ARCHIO
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

^ Here.

To be fair, if you were watching the game you'd notice MVP was half a step from complete loss for very nearly the entire game despite sniping those bases, although half of it was because of the map. But then again maps are a large part of balance I suppose.
