He defended against harass very poorly on Whirlwind and just sat on 3.5 bases until he was invincible. Game 3 he won the toss up of 'drones or lings' after 6pool vs FFE. Do you find it interesting that this same argument "defended against harass poorly, got outplayed, lost all his bases and tech", keeps coming up again and again in these games, like in Leenock vs Hero last season? Zerg have to go Infestor Broodlord to have any chance at beating Protoss late game, and when they do, at some point trying to defend against Warp Prism harass becomes impossible and counterproductive, so they just mass up a Broodlord deathball and go for the base trade, which is what Soulkey did. | ||

Hyun has been compared to DRG and Nestea in terms of skill for quite a while, so while I do hate seeing so many zergs get through, i think Hyun will advance to RO16, along with my boy Rain ofc. | ||

Mass roaches vs archives first is a good choice. I guess Hero thought that going robo was too clunky and late, but Soulkey got that just right. They were pretty on equal footing in midgame despite 6pool. | ||

I really think zergs in general could do a much better job with neurals, like burrowing infestors around behind the army to catch the mothership whilst moving - similar to what Leenock did last season against the protoss players. So many times where the mothership is moving out to the army where a renegade infestor could get it. | ||

He won all those online tournaments he can't go to every lan only polt gets sent to them by TSL? Jeez he drew taeja first round before the patch and besides hyun's style isn't patch ffs the patch made the infestor brood lord composition easier to reach because of the safety of scouting and queen defence. Hyun has always relied heavily on overwhelming at the lair stage that has literally nothing to do with the patch don't comment on players you know nothing about. | ||

I hate zerg as much as the rest of you but Hyun is legit good, he's on a sick streak in fight club and just beat the reigning GSL champion in a bo9 in a mirror match. also he doesn't play patchzerg style. | ||

Seriously whiners, just shut the fuck up. HerO lost, deal with it. No need to discredit soulkey as a player because you're a fanboy. | ||

And balance aside, this is why people are complaining. The deathball has always been hated. And the Zerg deathball is just the most extreme example. You can even forfeit your bases. There is very little multitask, very little action. Just a ball of mobs slowly moving across the screen. | ||
