That game just gave them 'proof'. | ||

If a Zerg had won those as well, I think we would have Protoss complaints as well. I dunno how much winning WCG and WCS means in terms of balance. If you look at the player pool, there would've been something wrong if the Koreans didn't win it. 80%+ of both tournaments were foreigners. If anything though, there should be a sad Marine club. Feels like every Terran game I watch this weekend, it's always an uphill battle. | ||

The problem is that composition is just impossible to beat cost-effectively w/o overexposing yourself to a big tech switch... why are people even commenting on this.. the guy obviously just started playing lol or even worse he might just be a troll | ||

Polt probably has had a lot of practice vs zerg trying to get vikings out in time to match the broodlord corruptor infestor but found it was a worthless battle because infestor is just so damn cost efficient that vikings are basically worthless. Corruptors are the issue, they should not exist in the game and brood lords should come from mutalisks. Without corruptors it'd be split vikings vs infestor and mutas, which can be outranged by thors. It becomes way more strategical. Also, blizzard please make ghosts cost 50/150 or something more gas than minerals because late game terran has too much gas. CORRUPTORS KILLING ESPORTS! | ||

It's borderline impossible if your opponent is paying attention. That's why the psionic fungal immunity change was good, you could actually use ghosts to emp infestors. Gumiho showed that Ghosts are still very good vs Z. You can EMP and Snipe Infestors, and Nuke. I really don't get why more Terrans aren't trying his builds. It looked amazing both times he used similar builds and absolutely demolished the Zerg. | ||

1-2 ghosts hit 3-6 infestors maximum. so no, they don't wreck it because every good zerg has 10+ infestors. Not to mention, if the Zerg is a competent player, he will have overseers with his army and the broodlords will keep the infestors protected the whole time. | ||

Wut. No way. Leenock does have better chances, but not nearly as much better. I'd say 60/40, or even 55/45. Violet is very good, people still underestimate him. And yes, I know Leenock has been on a tear, but streaks happen sometimes, I don't think he is suddenly significantly ultra mega giga better than everyone else. | ||
