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.

Zerg sure has come a looong way since being the de facto weakest race in the first gsl (even though funnily enough they actually won that tourny too) :D

I really wonder how much these GSL semi finalists have practiced other match ups, winning IPL is nice but GSL is GSL.

Chae is currently in the IM house smashing seed's trophy.

With the hammer he crafted out of the leftovers of jjakjis smashed trophy?

Correct, there are reports he is also already eyeing the trophy of the winner this season.

To be honest, I thought Hero played close to optimal for a protoss who did not resort to immortal-sentry. Kill the morphing in greater spire, pushing, constant prism harrass, two good vortex... Not sure how he lost. Any insights?


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 was a combination of feedback,archon splash storm and then just finishing off the red health bc's.


So which of those things aren't present in the PvZ comp? Oh,right, none. As much as I like Hero, it's obvious that he misplaed that.

it's easy to misplay in that situation, I blame him for not allining on the first map :/

Denies 5th base forever while getting his own. Snipes greater spire. Kills tons of drones with storm drops etc.

He really couldn't have played any better....


*And keeps making t1 units. It'd be fun to see a zerg be 2 bases ahead of a protoss and only make t1 units then complain that he lost.



ht, archons, mothership all t1 units huh?

if you are referring to the stalkers...what else was he suppose to make to combat bl...mass carriers? dies before then...void rays? fungal..phoenixes? fungal

unfortunately lings are really strong and cheap against stalkers

You neglect the high # of voidrays that squirtle had, and voidrays are insane vs BCs but PvZ fungal makes them useless.


Watch the game again, notice how the Voids did nothing but clean up 4-5 BCs. Granted, Mvp failed to split the BCs properly, but Violet also made the same mistake in the engage at his 4th.

They were only really weak due to the pretty garbage map pool.

The voids killed way more than 4-5 BCs, I have no idea what you are talking about.

If you watch VoDs of the first GSL the level of play was so bad that I would say many pepole on TL could have competed for that championship.

Edit: Based on the level of play the TL user has now of course.

The last two vortexes were awful, did you even watch the game. this wasl ike the worst engagement ever sorry i love hero but this was simply a thrown game with this engagement.

1st Vortex: Mothership was fungaled so he had to use it.
2nd Vortex: Was done because it was about to die.

But just think for a moment if it's logical that one ability is mandatory for one race to be able to win. It's either this or nothing. Doesn't make any sense to me.

You have templars they are supposed to feedback in such situations even if you show the templar the zerg has to evacuate the infestors and cant fungle the mothership anymore. feedback is underused by koreans in my opinion. they use also storm in infestors it isn't making any sense to me seriously, this ability is just made to eliminate infestors and ghosts.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of them are completely winging their vP since it means nothing to them in the GSL.

If feedback and emp actually prevented double digit infestors to fungle stuff, we would all be pretty happy.

That's because a zerg complaining about anything right now is automatically funny.

fungal outranges feedback so i'm assuming after thousands of practicing they don't rely on feedback...they use storm more for just zoning the infestors out I believe
