You sound surprised. Hero has done this a ton of times in PvZ recently, especially against Leenock. You should see how he lost in Proleague last night.

No he shouldn't.

Sigh... if DongRaeGu, PartinG, and Leenock get through while HerO and Mvp are eliminated, I think I will drown myself in my tears.

well I hate to break it to you, but
a) this is probably the worst style of tournament for Mvp to be playing right now in the GSL having to play so many games so his chances of advancing are low especially after losing to DRG
b) most likely will be between DRG and HerO for 3rd if Parting and Leenock keep playing as well as they have been

no he has a point.

i bought each single ticket from season1 but the free quality that GOMTV offers is crap shit.
i am not sure if they do it on purpose to "force" you to buy their tickets, but among top tournaments -GSL, MLG, IPL and Dreamhack - GSL has by far the WORST free quality. it's not even 240p.
they put all their ads up saying for 2013 they are improving the stream quality and all that, i hope they fix the free stream as it's beyond bad

I don't care what anyone says, that for me was one of the most exciting PvZ's of the year. I think Hero could have won if he'd pushed just 1 minute earlier and let his upgrades kick in mid-fight but he missed his window. He played awesome before that though. Leenock too strong though. I really like all his multi-tasking with multiple control groups. It makes it VERY stressful for your opponent when they are getting attacked at every base while trying to micro a main army.

Hard to watch PvZ and TvZ at the moment, having a timer where you have to kill your opponent because nothing you can make trades cost effectively is just terrible game design. Thank god HotS is looking to change this by buffing mid game zerg and nerfing the crap out of late game zerg compositions.

Liquid Hero you are the opposite of the word "solid". Always so flash, always throwing either games or colossus away for trying to do too much or get too fancy.

Of course he's not "solid". He's "Liquid" after all

All the advantages HerO built up throughout the game evaporates at the first morph of a broodlord. Such a drastic change in the momentum of the game once broods come into play.

And that makes for a super great game design!

Leenock has the best control of any Zerg.

He missed his true calling as a Terran player. :D

That would him and Gumiho even more similar

HerO could have killed so many infestors if he targetted in that first push.

What? How?
Infestors came out with the energy upgrade.

yeah leenock did make it hard to tell if hero could have a clean timing and crush the army. it's hard to feel comfortable on that map so I can't blame hero exactly.

Hero always seems to lose these types of funny games to Leenock's infestor broodlord army. Seems like the second time this happened haha

Alright, they still need to work on PvZ. The range nerf helped, but fungal is still just too all-purpose, especially when combined with ITs. And to be fair, they need to work on the Won Won Won too. Maybe a slight Immo build time nerf. But this matchup, stats-balanced or not, is just a disaster right now.
