i want to pay attention to violets queens, because he seems to spread more creep in early game zvp than other zergs. I'm curious.

If there is lots of maps for which it is too easy for zerg to take a 3rd and too hard for protoss (and there is), doesn't that most likely mean it's a fault of the game design and not the map design? That it's simply too hard for protoss to take a 3rd in general, regardless of the map?

Anyone else feel that the inject and creep spread mechanics are really allowing the top zergs to differentiate themselves from the mid tier zergs? But Terran and Protoss differentiation isn't as big in this area. Seems like we still see mid tier zergs lose to mid tier T and P. But once T and P hit the top tier Zs, they just seem to hit a wall.


I feel like the race was made to where if you have perfect injects, you can hold anything the toss throws at you as long as you have appropriate scouting. The game was balanced around people making mistakes and not being perfect, but recently zerg players have become really really good mechanically. Couple this with how late game pvz is really hard on the protoss in terms of battle micro and positioning needed that protoss are forced to do timings.

I'd say yes

It would be nice if gateway units didn't have to rely on a gimmick like forcefield to be good.

Current map pool all get the easy to take 3rd base, even 4th is very easy to take, why not make a map with basically only 2 base and 1 in the center?

Zerg power will be weaker.


this is why I love the KESPA maps. They promote different styles and don't cater to the "free 3 base or else zerg will cry imba."

reminds me of BW, kespa had micro maps (smaller, less bases, short rush distance) that encouraged smaller scale engagements. Also had macro maps which are pretty much the SC2 map pool right now. And of course "gimmick" maps like Araknoid

arkanoid is a "free 3 base or else zerg will cry imba" map


Yeah, but I'd say that's not the dominant feature there like Blizz/GSL maps....


so how do you fight protoss while having inferior economy?


What? I said nothing about balance. Lumping Arkanoid in with Daybreak et al is just stupid, though.


maps is part of balance...........


No shit. I get that Arkanoid might be imba. It works for Proleague though because you can account for that. But regardless, that wasn't my point. It's highly highly unique, and calling it a "free 3 base", while technically true, is so misleading as to be useless.


And the free three bases for Zerg is countered by a.) highground ledge for siege tanks and ranged units (super annoying), b.) unscoutable opponent's main base and c.) short walk distance.

very cool aggression from violet
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

If violet didn't lose all of those infestor's, he'd be in a much better position. I feel like if Seed just doesn't stuff up, he should win this from here.

Conundum of antiga, the zerg wants to end it on 3 base because there is no good 4th base.
That' why he was being so aggressive. losing those infestors was not good.
