People are blind to think HerO had good big army engagements in that last game. How he screwed up that first vortex is beyond me. Then I have no idea what he was thinking in the last Mothership Vortex engagements... he stream-lined units 1 by 1 and got like nothing in the vortexes?!?? That was reallly bad.

Agreed that its sad the state of the game for PvZ comes down to Protoss screwing up in micro - whether its missed forcefields in all-ins, or missed vortexes in late game engagements, but you can't say Hero had good engagements with the mothership there.

Kinda sad Violet will get hardly any credit for that.

For what? Hero not getting any archon's into the vortex? Violet played that properly, but he didn't end up winning because of his decision making, Hero didn't execute it 100% perfectly


Thats exactly what the problem is. We have a situation where you have to play "100% perfectly" to win, that makes far superior players lose games on a regular basis. Even winrates and skill requirements were balanced out, the matchup would be competely broken because the only thing bringing it remotely close to equilibrium are several borderline completely broken all in's that hit in the early to midgame transition that are a mirror of the exact same problem


Hero didn't have to play 100% perfectly to win. Just not lose the mothership while landing two vortex without archons on infestors which had already thrown their infested terrans.

Hero had this game and he blew it, just like it happens in every match-up, it's just more flashy when its ZvP.

He used the vortex's because he was fungalled and would have gotten destroyed by the infested terrans otherwise.
Banelings are too cute to blow up

Hehe if taeja loses against sniper, there has been 28 tvz series so far and it's 19-9 to zergs, so it's 32/68, pretty close

HuK has very good chance of making it to losers round 8 :D
because now he face ryung, then yoda, then winner of taeja sniper(taeja, baad tvp) and then HerO(baad PvP) :D


HerO has solid PvP. Sniper are GSL ro4, and Taeja has much better macro/control/everything than HuK.

Five thousand Zergs and Polt.

Lies, there are actually protosses.


Soon there won't be don't worry


Creator actually win PvZ these days.
Not against HuyN but you can't count that


I don't think Creator can beat Life who he most likely will face. Crank/Squirtle have a shot since there's no great Zerg in the Bracket for them. Hero well will also have his hands full with his LB opponent. It's not unlikely that no Protoss makes it to the final Bracket and only 2 maybe 3 Terrans at best.

Off topic, fill me in for a sec -- what would happen if someone went void ray + phoenix + warp prism HTs in the ultra late game for PvZ to go up against infestor+bl?

I think you're all seriously exaggerating the amount by which Hero was ahead.

5 base to four. Sniped the initial greater spire. Killed 30+ drones. Sniped infestation pit. Multiple decent(Granted not the best) Vortexes. You can't really get much more ahead without flat out killing your opponent....

The fact that Protoss can do all that, and still has to rely on a 100% perfect engagement with 2+ perfect vortex's to win just seems kind of silly to me. I mean besides getting violet to clump up every single BL, what more could Hero actually do?

He also got violet down to 25 drones before last engagement. Not that it mattered cause violet won too convincingly

Yeah, such trolling by Blizzard lol. Riot would have just nerfed the fuck of this piece of OP shit Infestor that I cant stand to see anymore, give a random Hydra buff and everybody would have been happy. Like 10 months ago.

Terrible engagements and weak army comp. That vortex on all the broods at Violet's 4th should have won Hero the game, but he threw the rest of his units in and pushed the archons out of the center. Plus, he didn't have enough AoE (not enough archons and storm) in the engagement at his forward expansion. To anyone who says storm sucks against Broodlords, watch Squirtle vs Mvp...if storms can kill 500-hp battlecruisers, they can kill 225-hp broodlords.


Feedback was what killed MvPs BCs, storms were just the finishing touch.


Lmfao even a feedback on a full energy BC leaves it with 250 HP (25 more than a broodlord).

It's not a foreign tournament without a TaeJa vs HerO

Sorry sniper is here to block that for he is sniper, slayer of fun, hurter of esports and probably president of riot.

Do you have a link? Or where is this game from? I'd assume its feedback and not storm killing the battlecruisers :p


It was 2 GSL finals ago.. Game 5 He stormed the living hell out of the BC to weaken them and then feedbacked his heart out and the stalkers/archons he had finished them off along with the small Mothership dmg. Was the best game of the series.

Also this makes me sad as a Startale fan wanting some merch T_T
