The problem with pvz compared to tvz, in my opinion, is that while terran can chip away at the zerg constantly, and slowly wear them down, protoss kinda has to do their "thing" in one swoop. I am not sure if this is a problem with the game, or a problem with the gamers. I suspect its a mix of the two. I am pretty sure progamers play the way that gives them the highest chance of winning. Which usually means they will use the unit comps that are most 'powerful' and which they are the most comfortable with. Even strategies like all-ins are included in this in that the player feels he has a good chance of catching their opponent off guard. | ||

Consistency does. Also, ye, Ro8 with 4 zergs in looks quite possible. I do hope TaeJa will take it this season(hell, the guy deserves it), but most likely it will be a PvZ. | ||

But if Zerg gets Broodlords out while still having a decent economy, and does not screw up entirely by letting them get caught by a vortex, it's over. The game cannot be won by Protoss at this point, because everything on the ground melts and Protoss air units are shit in an actual engagement. I really hope HotS is gonna change this matchup because it's just stupid atm. | ||

With regard to the Final Match, Set 2, I think Tasteless was right in saying that Seed should not have engaged into the wall of Infested Terrans. While the outcome may not have been all too different and the Infestor energy will simply regenerate, it's better to stall rather than needlessly lose units. Also, the bank for Symbol was considerably less while Seed could have put out more units and prepare for the next engagement. he was out of gas he had a huge mineral bank tho | ||

It's not even an argument about balance, just the game design of zergs being able to keep building crawlers for an impenetrable late-game defense, and the synergy between infestors + brood lords and the ability to spam corruptors reactively vs carrier compositions. Only if the protoss can hide the carriers for long enough and hit a timing when the zerg has over-made brood lords and doesn't have enough infestor energy+spines to hold the counter then the protoss can win the game. Otherwise it all comes down to a lucky vortex. Just a very frustrating and stale lategame if you ask me. | ||

Also his micro is pretty good That is the thing that I like about him, he doesn't really have a 'style' - effortlessly switches between outright cheese to macro. He's fun to watch, no doubt. | ||
