ZvP is incredibly frustrating and boring to watch! also HotS won't change that, ppl can still mass bl/infestor and not use the new units at all..
nice design blizzard.

i cheered for hero, he was definitely the better player in my eyes (+bias).. but ye, i guess the better player won *cough*

sloppy play? what's sloppy he was transitioning from getting 6 pooled lol. If he's playing sloppy I wonder what you would call foreigners play :O


Well duh Hero was playing sloppy in Game 2 and Game 3.

Game 2:
The thing is with HerO is he did so many warp prism harass which is good but he did not have a strong standing army.
He tried to be too cute with all those warp prism harass and Soulkey decided it was enough and just go fucking killed him with the Bls+Infestor+Queen and spine crawler push.Hero 5th,4th,3th,2th and main base all go down uncontested.
He then tried to transition into void rays against 24 infestors???LOL
Void rays seriously? Better off making templars or collosus.

Game 3:
6 Pool and HerO defended it normally.Soulkey slightly ahead.
HerO proceeded to go into templar tech and tried to push into Soulkey base.
Couldn't because of infestors camping behind.
Soulkey saw that HerO composition was heavy on zealots and went mass roach/infestors to go kill him.
End of story.
Play your best

Well there's the incredibly dynamic Tempest coming in, that will revolutionize the way we see Esports. It'll be edge of your seat stuff.

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.



Im not a fan of hero and I dont care about soulkey either way but you have no fucking clue what youre talking about. Faster overlords means more scouting means much safer means you can eco up much quicker (or defend if need be).

I play terran and what stands out the most to me is how ridiculously boring zvp is. Statistically you either win with some trickery as protoss in early or midgame, or you lose to the massing zerg amoeba.

Remember the days when zerg had to be one base up to be even with terran and protoss? Well those are long gone now.


zerg can be a base down or two or three and still win lol.


I know its almost like blizzard is intentionally shitting all over wol in order to make hots seem at least somewhat appealing.

That was ridiculous. If a protoss proxy two gates he can never recover no matter what if it fails. If a zerg six pools he just transitions out without doing any damage...


Well, to be honest it screwed up HerO's build quite a bit, but yeah, the other two races have it sooooo tough against Zerg nowadays.


well i dont think that 6pool failed, everything went quite good for SOULkey


That's the problem- a zerg can 6 pool, throw away all their lings without killing a single worker and still end up economically ahead.



Cause HerO had to fuck about microing probes and then starting a normal gateway expand cause he went FFE...


And do you really think pros only go FFE because they're too lazy to do anything else? One gate expand just isn't effective which is part of the problem.


Did he HAVE to expand? Soulkey didnt... lol :|


Because you're going to know that in advance? It's so stupid when people think pros do things for no reason. They have to FFE because if they don't when zergs play a normal build they're just so behind. Anyway nothing's going to change in this matchup now- just gotta wait for HOTS.


So Soulkey Meta'd HerO and countered the predictable PvZ Entombed build and that makes zerg imba?

He took a calculated risk - he didnt go for 6 pool with a guarantee he'd be ahead

Dude that's not sloppy play LOL please go Google the definition of sloppy. If you're going to reply please understand what "sloppy" means

Strong standing army? how else are you supposed to beat brood lord infestor? you can't unless your opponent messes up and his army gets vortexed, it's impossible to win with a protoss 200/200 army vs zerg 200/200 army if the composition is right for the zerg which was in this case.

Tempest is a direct counter to that unit comp.

Please don't say "tempests suck", Blizzard will buff them until they do their job correctly.

As in he's made himself easy to dislike?

All he's really done is play zerg and beat a Liquid player in ZvP. The state of the match up can't really be his fault, can it? He played well against Maru, and I won't put his victory against HerO exclusively to balance, though it played it's role for sure.



well people are not hating on soulkey. they whine about pvz.

Quite a few people are blatantly indicating that soulkey has just been carried by his race which is as silly as in WC3 when people accused players like lucifron of being carried by orc.


No doubt Soulkey is a good player but his wins vs Hero took pretty much no skill at all. 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.




Cant agree sorry. 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.


They weren't even at all though - Hero's harass denied the 4th but Soulkey was ahead on drones by a lot more than usual. If you go robo in that situation your timing window for a 3base Anti hive timing is gone, and it just devolves into a similar scenario as game 2. His only chance was to hit a timing before Hive while hoping Soulkey would go straight from infestor / ling to BL / festor. You saw it by the timing he tried to hit with his moveout.


Thats true, but Soulkey going 6 pool is by no means a fact that you are getting ahead as zerg. Soulkey's follow up with Nexus cancel is what Soulkey risked and got ahead. Also, in game 2 getting that mothership, catching some of Hero forces with fungles really turned everything around. There is no telling how would it go if Hero had more obs on the map/ with him. Well, Hots should fix lategame for PvZ, if not then when i will begin whining too (not saying ur whining by any means).

The conversation in this thread is a bit odd at times though. Soulkey is not to blame for playing an abusive style, it's not like HerO deserves to win just because his play is more challenging. After all, chances are that Soulkey would do really well in a battle of mechanics - he has like 400apm? - it's just that the broodlord/infestor stuff is superior. So Blizzard is really the only one that's at fault here.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Protoss is a weaker race, accept it people. Won't make sense if an ancient race can still dominate the universe. Zerg is the future race of the cosmo. Terran can survive longer than toss.

I am not sure about that. HerO could not engage that army if the spread was good. Although having the mothership would give him a better chance. He really needed Soulkey to clump has army.

if all zerg had to do was to turtle to BL/infestors and win...then why did DRG get beaten 4-1 when that's all he tried to do?

no doubt, zerg is rather broken. but beatable.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

This is disgusting.

I knew TL was anti-zerg but wow. Discrediting a players wins? What player is going to want to keep training hard and practicing if they see coments like this? This is thier job and passion and instead of getting praised for their hard work people just say "blah he only won because zerg is imba." The worst part is everyone seems to be ok with this.
