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

The worst thing is that i can see this style of Vortix working on all other maps. MVP could force really bad engagements by the Forth because of that chokepoint and the PF. (And on 4 bases you can afford the infrastructure to Mass viking).

Tech swtiches weren't a option because ultras and roaches would suck at that chokepoint. Maybe infestors, but it's hard to make them because of Infestation Pit time construction + energy upgrade. And Vortix skipped the Infestation Pit to get BL faster.

He should tried something different, maybe go to the main and Kill infrastruture and obligate the Mech to move.

You'd best be joking.

And infestors should leave a trail of acid where they move that gives damage like a storm.


nice idea, gonna drop it on the suggestion forums

Mvp vs. Vortix Game 2:

Antiga Shipyard, Mvp top right, Vortix bottom left.

3:00- Mvp hides first barracks in the corner of his natural, but is scouted quickly by Vortix's drone. Then CC goes down. Vortix goes hatchery before pool relatively quickly.


5:00- Third CC going down for Mvp inside his main, and 2 refineries going down.

Nope, not really better than this. I guess he does normally rebuild infestors at least.


The zerg hating is sickening.

Especially from people who just watched or judged on 1 single game of vortix vs MVP.


Nothing he said was incorrect based on yesterday's or today's play.

He was rightly judging Vortix also yesterday.
