Ok I am very confused. I play zerg so please don't complain about me whining IMBA, etc.

But, is Violet just really good, or is Zerg just seriously OP a bit? Violet did have good engagements, but there didn't really seem like there was anything that Polt did wrong. He could have spread those tanks out better, but that wouldn't really change the outcome of the game. I also understand the upgrades were a bit different. But still, that all looked very easy.

And now we have a ZvZ finals for the second day in a row. First the GSL, and now the IPL. Not long ago we had Life vs. Leenock. Well whatever. HOTS comes out soon, and the whole meta-game is going to start anew, so .. I guess no real need to worry about any imbalance starting March or so.

Well, at least Protoss has WCG, WCS and DHW. Granted, a lot of the tops zergs didn't make those tournaments. Terran has IEM...

Same thing in BW, You have 2 or 3 protoss champions early on then they dissappear between the rivalry of terran vs zerg, a few flashes of brilliance occur (MC/Seed & Stork / Bisu) then protoss can't even make the Ro4 until the end of the game's lifespan.

I surely can get 8 battlecruisers, 5 Ravens and 12 vikings before the 15 minute mark without dying


Maybe if BCs had 500 more hp, and 25 more damage @ the same firing rate they would be as good to tech to as brood lords.

But then Infestors would come and take control of your fleet with NP.


Why NP when you can just fungal and spam ITs :S

why not both


Well you need to understand that the game is only balanced around zerg making 5-6 infestors. Nobody would actually have like the 30 or so you'd need to do that.

Nice try though Love your pretend theory crafting haha

I keep saying that Protoss needs a bit of a push...

Didn't matter who won vs Violet and Polt, Leenock destroys both of them.
