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.


I am sure all the people playing SC2 do not want to wait until March. I don't really want to watch any more ZvZ. TvT was bad too.

Yeah it was impossible for polt to make ghosts in that game.

i bet if he made ghosts in this game you would be complaining about polt not having enough tanks/vikings/medivacs/bio

Sad Zealot fan club is back. Balance.


PartinG and HerO winning WCS , WCG, DHW kind of make it a little better for Protoss for now. If a Zerg had won those as well, I think we would have Protoss complaints as well.

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

just like your theorycraft the zerg would play standard against someone turtling for 15 minutes for an air army

I don't think DreamHack is so much of a Protoss thing as it is a Hero-specific thing. That's his territory. <3

Violet is good. I'm not even sure there's a significant difference in skill between Violet and Polt. The problem is that composition is just impossible to beat cost-effectively w/o overexposing yourself to a big tech switch...

Polt threw his first army away by not having his tanks sieged, and they weren't spread. Losing that many tanks when you're behind in upgrades instantly kills your ability to be aggressive. Despite that he still stayed in the middle and lost another army after. If he kept most of those tanks alive he could have rallied to the middle and gone for another push at the 4th, taken his own 4th and transitioned for the broodlords.

I don't count the BWC because really with the player pool It would have been a shock if those Protoss players DIDN'T sweep that tourny..

But as I said earlier we won Dreamhack, and OSL so not too bad!

Wow okay, how can someone have that many posts and still think SC has tiers?

It's a convention used to describe tech levels. Tiers have existed since the original Starcraft. Stuff you require hive to build is, by convention, tier three. A broodlord/infestor army is definitely tier 3, as there is nothing else higher up the tech path to work to.

Terrans need to build a couple ghosts and EMP or snipe some infestors at least.
That is not dead which can eternal lie...

Yeah it was impossible for polt to make ghosts in that game.

Not enough economy, no time, no Ghosts.


Im not talking about like 12 ghosts here, 3-4 could nullify that initial wave of infestors. I don't see how thats impossible at that stage of the game. You know zerg is gonna be making Infestors.
