spectator wise the matchup is all wrong imo, i love seeing games go back and forth which we see a lot in TvZ, as a terran PvZ to me seems more often than not to be hinged all upon one battle and in some cases one spell? =/

20 minutes of dominating Leenock lost in an instant, when Hero pushes his mothership just a little bit too far forward. Tough loss for Hero.

I think the big mistake that Hero did was to retreat back behind buildings into his base against the sieging BL:s. Either rush to a base trade in the style of Grubby or Hasu might've worked, or set up a huge Stalker flank.

What a perfect game from HerO, too bad it didn't come through in his favor. I think he deserved the win. GG.

It wasn't an insta lose either though. HerO had ample opportunity to win that even after the vortex but instead just sat in a corner while not rebuilding any tech structures. It's like he mentally collapsed the moment the vortex hit.

He had nothing to destroy such a high BL/Infestor count...

Leenock should be ashamed of himself.

Done with SC2. Joke game.

Pretty anticlimatic game.... HerO had done so well all game, although to be fair his decision to not bypass the army and trade is questionable. Definitely not fun to watch :\

Terran players and normal spectators: "this matchup is fucking dumb. The design is shit"

How is 5 base protoss vs 3 and barely a 4th mining base zerg "way ahead'? Are you "way ahead" by virtue of having a max broodlord infestor army?

HerO flanked Leenock from three sides with a larger economy. Leenock hit two buttons.

I dislike how they say hero outplayed him the entire game and then lost. He wouldnt lose if he outplayed leenock. With his advantage, he actually let leenock build a deathball of 16 broods off 3 bases, and then got his mothership neuraled because he wasn't looking. He also chose to engage leenock in the tiny space on the highground where his army clumps maximally against fungals and infested terrans.

The comments here are giving me massive flashbacks of many many TvP lategame LRs.

PvZ late game is really coin flippy because hero had 6 bases to 3, killed every army of Leenock and still lost. If Protoss doesn*t 2 base or 3 base all in before broods, the siege of broods combined with infestor energy is too overpowered. HerO the better player out of the 2 no doubt and still lost but I have faith

How many times did Leenock lose his 4th? He never got to mine from it... Ridiculous

At least 4 times.

So it all depends on vortex from 1 unique unit. Nice design Blizzard.
