should be nice being the guy that only needs to balance the game and then in a semifinal of the best tournament someone is basically saying in the end of the game "YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG STUPID"

Ryung is the hero we deserve

Blizzard finally started to show some reaction during and after BWC regarding the Infestor and I'm glad 1 progamer decided to be vocal about it even if not done professionally

SC2 WoL as an esport has become increasingly become more boring and bland as Zerg has become the most powerful race with the Infestor being a significant reason for it
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

I wonder if you'll still be saying this when sc2 starts losing tournaments and sponsorships because of lack if interest. A lot of viewers have left sc2 to go watch other games because they are no longer entertained.

Blizzard needs to do something quickly, it cannot wait until HOTS.

Honestly even if the stats say the 3 races are close enough to be considered balanced; from a spectator point of view, zvz is boring. Sure it's grown over the months, but the majority still hate it. This all results in less viewers. I love sc2, always will, but I will not be watching gsl finals nor ipl5 finals if it's a zvz. I've seen more than enough that I've seen them all. Any other matchup; and I'd be all over that shit. It's a lose-lose for everybody except the zergs

HotS isn't really that far off any more.... Though in fairness it doesn't look like HotS is going to change much...

Well ZvZ is a pretty interesting mirror, and both these players have good ZvZ, so if anything, it should be very high level.


ZvZ is much more fun now in SC2 for spectators.

ZvZ in BW wouldn't be half as interesting to them, lol.

Man I miss BW ZvZ... So unique and beautiful, almost like an artistic painting. It's not the kind of things one can explain with words Sc2 ZvZ looks so conventional and boring tbh, but it's still a good matchup.


This is a sentence I never thought I would read in my whole life. Next ill be reading about people saying this miss the old hydra busts in ZvP.


zvz in bw was quite something else though man.

Nothing like it.

Hydra busts was another thing completely.

ZvZ and it's evolution?

Come on it's barely changed at all!

the games today werent bad at all, very little usage of broodlords, almost a comeback by ryung etc etc, but nowadays i really prefer zvz over any matchup, a lot of minibattles everywhere, its a weird feeling when the other matchups dont seem so legitimate anymore

So true. :>

I still have a place in my heart for it, but showing any guy unfamiliar with it and they'd probably cringe because every little thing counts.


I did not watch much of BW before it "died", but I watched all BW dailies and Sayle's casts and I have to say as somewhat of a newcomer to BW I loved watching ZvZ.


Ask ret how much he liked it. o;

It's certainly a delicacy.

ZvZ in BW was pretty lame unless it went into hive. Then it was always epic.

So I took a break from watching SC2 and missed the second set of the GSL semis. Apparently Zerg happened. http://i.imgur.com/XXpEC.png

ahahaha. I do not envy TL mods.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I think Blizzard's decision to spread the game into three release really fucks everything up. They should focus on the present and balance the current game being played. Their focus on HOTS ultimately overshadowed the needed balance of the current game. It's unfortunate because now progamers, such as Ryung, will pay with their times and energy playing an unbalanced game + drop in viewship numbers.
