And is there a problem with that? On every other map, it is the opposite. Terrans win with all ins and timing attacks. If it goes late where it is even, it is heavily zerg favoured (again, terran CAN win but zerg is favoured).
When terrans complain about BL/infestors, zergs will tell them to NOT let them get to that stage. Well, on Antiga, DON'T let terrans take the middle.

Once Terran gets siege tanks they can push straight into the middle though. Unless you are saying don't let them get tanks?

Stephano was probably playing for Puma. Thats why he looked better then usual.

If you have good creep spread, you can just crush them once they unsiege and try to move to the middle. And there are many cases where zergs can take back the middle. Is it hard to do? Yes. So is trying to slow down the zerg tech to BL/infestors using drops IF the zerg defends well.

Oh, easily they could. I'm not sure what to think of that. Was their usual lineup unable to play? That felt like a last-minute B-team lineup to me. I knew Genius and Arthur only...the rest I'd never once seen in any event ever. It was pretty strange.
SlayerS have only been using their B-team + Genius for IPTL pretty much.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I am saying that unless you all in Antiga is Terran favoured. Win rates are not that helpful in some situations. Like Daybreak is Zerg favoured in ZvP but Toss has the higher win rate.

Genius we all know, and I love his antics, but players like Arthur, Dark, KDY, Miso? I don't even know what these guys even look like, much less their personalities! This is a team that is completely foreign to me. This isn't the team that I originally became a fan of!
I remember when MMA won the Blizzard Cup, and the entire team rushed the stage to congratulate him. I could recognize those guys: Boxer, Cella, Clide, Alicia, Ganzi, Ryung (popped the champagne all over MMA's hair). I knew about each one of these guys, and it felt natural to connect with them and root for them.
I don't mind sending out the occasional B-teamer to help them gain experience. Slayers sent out Crank and Miya, giving them opportunities and exposure, and I'm a fan of them now. But this is different. Not a single member of the old guard, of the dream team if you will, was sent. It's like I'm watching a whole new team.
I'm so confused right now.
I became a fan of SlayerS because of Boxer and MMA. Now that Boxer's returned to his origins, and MMA isn't even being played much more, and with all the rumors about him wanting to leave for a foreign team...IDK, if MMA leaves SlayerS I'll probably root for another team.
