Ladies and gentlemen, it is page 143 and any patchzerg, balance related commentary and the usual bashing etc from this point on will be met with harsh moderation.

I'm so sad

Ahhaha finally patchzergs are put back to they're place. Good job Snute.

ROFL so the 15-year-old who brought the most innovative and exciting play combined with an indomitable fighting spirit to the GSL last season is a patchzerg? How many other zergs would have overcome Mvp after being down 2-3 and getting their 10pool blocked in the final game? But ok, whatever you say; I'm sure all those things can be explained by the queen patch.

If abusing the same bloord/infestor combo (that even blizzard admited its op and plans to fix it) is the most innovative and exciting play than i rest my case. Life magicaly became super gosu coincidently after the patch and won gsl and mlg right?
The fact that hes terribad at zvz and gets humiliated by a mid tier foreigner doesn't support your ideas either.

Abusing the broodlord-infestor combo? Life played aggressive muta-ling throughout the tournament and only used the late game composition in the few games that he didn't win with his intelligent midgame play. His play now is far subpar to what it was in that season; the "champion's curse" (which is actually just complacency caused by overconfidence and praise) has gotten to him.

Blizzard doesn't respond to balance issues; it responds to perceived balance. If enough of their valued customers (you balance whiners) cry, they'll be prompted to fix what isn't broken.

Okay I really need a race and league

Too lazy to search it up on B-net? I'm a plat toss player. I lose to zerg quite often, but it's due to my own mistakes with multitasking, decision-making, etc., not any inherent strengths or weaknesses of the races.

I was right on the leauge.

Cool story. So I'm guessing you think your diamond/masters/GM/whatever league play makes you infinitely more qualified to comment on balance? Even at the mid-GM level players are far from what we're seeing here; these pros spend easily 10x the amount of time you spend practicing.

You are arguing with ghosts. Nice.

Ghosts? By bringing up league you're making an inherent implication as to the value of opinions based on player strength. Why else would it matter?
