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.

Grubby has turned out to be a fantastic caster. I am so impressed and really looking forward to more casting from him.

Can someone tell me why alive lost this one? I don't see his mistake


His mid game timing got absolutely crushed and from there it was an uphill battle which he almost did but couldn't quite micro like the God you need to to make TvZ comebacks.

But people probably forgot about that push and instead complain about balance.


and why do terran lose 90% of games if their mid-game push doesn't do insane damage? hmm...


Maybe because they invest majorly in the push and don't get up a nice infrastructure plus expansions? Maybe because pushes in general tend to hurt the player doing them if no damage is done? -__-


But the question is, why didn't the push do damage? I saw good tank spread, siege, and splits. I don't see what alive could've done better with that push (not saying Z is imba guys, just wondering what alive did wrong!!!).


It all depends on what the Zerg is investing in. Most zergs nowadays expect the pre-hive timing and focus on getting base defense and a strong defensive comp instead of getting more tech/expansions/macro infrastructure. If the Terran realizes that the Zerg is preparing in this manner, he can just scrap the push and tech/expand faster because the Zerg is investing in defense.


And tech to what? Ravens? BOOM ultralisks are in the house! Battlecruisers? Ghosts? Thors???


There is a really good game played by Thorzain recently (amongst others) that shows how to play this endgame comp. I have the replay saved on my PC but too lazy to get up and link it. I'm not going to discuss this anymore since I don't want to participate in any balance discussion and get banned.

I think there are solutions and they have already been shown by pros, it just takes a ton of patience to play the style and we probably won't see it consistently until well into HotS.

Pretty Soulful imo. Takes Soul for a Zerg to do a big bust like that nowadays when every other one is just sticking with the late game.

Xigua 22 slow lings???? And just think this guy is already in the money and he won't have to win a single game. Stupid tournament bracket setup.
They pay him for winning the Chinese regional.

They pay him for being the Chinese representative, because the potential of the Chinese market is huge, even if their best player may not be really as good as the top players from other regions. But still, it's not exactly free money, think of it as money added towards the prize for the Chinese regional itself.


Xigua is the grand son of one of the richest man in China - the man who OWNs the IG organization, which is the biggest Chinese eSports organization. Don't think he cares one little bit about the money he wins.

Neither feedback by the looks of it, but he is talking about hilarious, and yes they are. I wanted to ask how the fuck would you build 20 ravens on 1vs1 TvZ against a player who can actually punish you for that ?
