EPTAye, anyone who thinks Leenock is boring or anything like other Zergs is just seriously jaded... badly.

He lost to Parting with this exact build on this exact map in this position as well, and he stomps it this time. I missed it, did he scout it coming with overlord or just sniff it out? He did not know for sure (he started a 4th). BUT he did have a ling in the pathway and knew the push was coming when he saw the probe. | ||

Yes and no. I don't mind Leenock in the early-mid games at all. His lategame will inevitably always be infestor-bl though, in which case I will just switch off the gomplayer, and wait for the next zergless matchup. | ||

He still actually tries to play early-mid game builds. So many zergs just do the turlte infestorbrood. Think Leenock never gets enough credit for trying other stuff. in the 6 matches he played vs toss today he opened in 4 different ways. | ||

I'm blaming the zerg race. Mothership-archon-colossus is the response to infestor broodlord, and MMMVG is fun to watch and actually difficult to play and multitask with. Infestor broodlord is a snoozefest which is far too easy to execute and near impossible to defend against unless the zerg makes a critical and dumb mistake. | ||

Nice that was what he missed last time at MLG Champion tourney. He didn't have the ability to scout pathways (overlord, or zergling). I love the way he instantly improves on his play after each match. | ||

Why would you even post stuff like this in these threads... it's already been said and argued about a hundred billion times. Just stop, enjoy the games or move on its really our only choice as viewers. | ||

I'm going to follow your wise advice and stop, and continue not watching any zerg games which do not involve leenock. | ||

I'm not overly fond of ZvZ or PvP but I still watch and find things to enjoy in them (usually ridiculous micro or multi-task) - to each his own though. Sorry I missed what you were responding to, I can't understand how anyone would say Parting is a gimmicky player he can all-in better than just about anyone, micro, macro, and decision making are all world class. | ||

I don't understand why people would blame the players when all they are doing is using the best composition available to them to win the game. Why would they do use a build or units that are simply not as good? I can understand if they are saying that a certain composition is strong or imba or too weak or whatever, but shouldn't really fault the players in using it if it gives them the highest chance of winning the game. Don't hate the player, hate the game | ||

If you want to blame infestor broodlord for making ms-archon-colo, then you need to blame colo-sentries for infestor broodlord. I am sure zergs would be happy with ling/roaches if protoss didn't build colo/storm. | ||

Glad we see eye-to-eye on this. I did not mean to come off as a balance whiner before this. I'm partial to PvP for one reason: protoss pros are already a rarity in most tournaments (bar the WCS tournaments where korean protosses dominated) and watching them take each other out is just brutal | ||
