That said, it might be that's not the case at all. Beta is still early, hard to tell given the amount of time people have had to play the game. Time to wait and see! Just a concern of mine.

The zerg will just expand and kill you with hydra viper, ret just let that army get unmanageable through cost inefficient attacks

protoss air army, oracle voidray carrier tempest mcore pheonix all of those shoot and are combat units

zerg air combat units that shoot, mutalisk corrupter broodlord


toss has double the units. ugh not saying protoss imba but zerg still feels like an incomplete race. more units should solve problems

Probably more of White-Ra's style for Skytoss, I doubt it will be the only composition for PvZ in the future, though I feel it will be the dominant style for late-game.

That's the new Brood/Infestor/Corrupter army......


Probally, but infestor corruptor hydra might do fun things to it as well

but.. WHite-ra was up by a huge amount during the early game, the super early third, repelling rets attempt to damage him.

Ret was just behind by alot, dont call this the new thing till you seen it vs the new thing

With the corruptor being as weak as it looked in game 1, how the hell can zerg counter that sick protoss sky army as was seen in game 3 now?
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I think Vipers, Infestors and a decent amount of Hydras would have worked well.

All I'm hoping for is some decent macro games during the finals.

Yep, after watching these games I'm not gonna waste my time on the beta until it's more balanced, doesn't look like any fun from the Zerg's perspective.


Ret played poorly (like leagues and leagues below Ra, it was so obvious he didn't really prepare), and that's the point of a beta. Waste some people time so others can benefit from it later.

Nah I don't think this will become that way. Ret made a ton of mistakes, didn't scout enough and didn't see stargates till he had swarmhosts out.

Also he never went hive until like 20+ minutes which is bad. To prevent this a zerg is going to want to be aggressive with roach/hydra/viper so you can chip down the air and being aggressive consistently. Adding in corruptors with 3-3 upgrades to if it gets that late.

Dunno lots of mistakes by ret but he doesn't have a ton of experience so I am not to surprised he got 3-0d.


Yeah Ret did not look very effective in this showmatch. I don't play HotS so I don't know anything about the openings or balance, so I'll defer to others with more knowledge. Was just an initial thought.
