With queen's injects, drones are the cheapest thing in SC2, so comes good econ, decent zerg is unstoppable with good econ. 20 drones loss is nothing, one round of drones, everything is normal again.
On the other hand, drones are precious in BW, losing 2 drones will be heart breaking in early game. Even late game, 5 or 10 drones is still a big deal.

Now back to not watching this crappy game. cya you wont be missed  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. HotS isn't really that far off any more.... Though in fairness it doesn't look like HotS is going to change much... And that is the issue, HotS does not seem to fix much. I would love it if SC2 Blizzard team read an article that Lalush wrote sometime during beta of WoL I think. He described a lot of things that he thought SC2 is doing wrong and he hit the mark pretty well on a lot of them. Even now after 2+ years that article is still awesome.
But one of the main points was that BW developers were not some super geniuses that created this awesomely balanced game that also is fun to watch. But that they created a game with such high skill ceiling that the game balanced itself. Because to everything then there is counter in form of something requiring more multitask, micro,... Of course you also need reasonable unit design. Qxc is describing it pretty nicely in his new "podcats" or whatever the name.
It would also be interesting if Blizzard instead of nerfing units (nerfing buildings and research is ok most of the time) buffed other units in a way that skilled player could use them much more efficiently. But that would probably require ignoring lower levels of play and Blizzard won't do that before final expansion is out, and after that there won't be a way to do that.

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
Well, a lot of progamers have been very local about this in interviews. It has gotten to a point where even zergs players are saying they are very strong but not to the point of OP.

Why did some people get banned for saying "IMBA" or variations of that? They were just quoting Ryung for hilarity

Lets theoretically say Blizzard is correct, the game is more balanced than it has ever been. It still leaves an issue of a decline in viewer numbers which they can't refute. The game is currently so stale and predictable that there really is no point watching it anymore. TvZ, which arguably was the most entertaining and balanced matchup has gone to shit. The most memorable match for me was the LG finals, where it was sc vs DRG, and sc literally split marines for nearly two screens against banelings (previous to infestors being commonly used). Units such as the infestor make these moments impossible.
I'm really worried that HOTS is going to end up the same way as WOL - a boring and stale game, making me hesitant to purchase HOTS until I see real improvement from Blizzard.

For everyone bitching about TvZ being ruined as a spectacle, I ask you to consider one thing.
Remember, Gumiho still plays this game.

LOL What did I miss? Someone let in the scoops of what happened, or is it just ryung saying imba imba at the end of the game?
