It's so stupid for starcraft 2 to have an allin that strong. It's just bad for the game.

Why do an allin that works 40% or 50% of the time if you can do one that works 90% of the time even when it gets scouted.

Problem? Would you want to try playing as protoss and going up against the variety of bullshit a zerg can throw at you, including of course infestor-broodlord?

Regarding Infestor-broodlord: It's so stupid for starcraft 2 to have a lategame build that strong. It's just bad for the game.

Why do a build that works 40% or 50% of the time if you can do one that works 90% of the time even if the protoss does everything in his ability to stop it?

I don't disagree with you. Broodlord infestor is too strong as well.

hi zerg



Zerg should not talk about ratios lol....look at the Win Ratio tab on the gomtv website, top 5 ratios are all zergs (before today's match)
1. Life 75%
2. Sniper 69.4%
3. DRG 67.6%
4. Leenock 66.7%
5. Hyun 64%


Good players have good win ratio, crazy right?


The fuck... the point is that they're all zerg. Check your reading comprehension.

I'm thinking that you need a Soulstone to block this build. Put one on PartinG's head and BAM.

Maybe Sniper should have used his Nydus build to hit Parting's main or natural AFTER Parting started to move out with his sentry/immortal all-in. He'd probably need at least two (probably more like 3 or 4) simultaneous Nydus' to ensure that at least one could get up and running, but could this work as a counter build?

I hope Bisu tries this immortal push. Except with 25 sentries and 3 immortals and no stalkers. No need for the new units when you have sentries right Bisu? :p

You guys may find it boring, but I'm just too glad that Parting can roll some zerg face with his allin :D

And don't act as if every protoss can do this, or else they would. Parting's execution of the build is unlike any other. Props to Parting, hoping for him to be the world champion!

nobody denies that :D

i hope he wins too

but everyone probably realizes at this point that build relies completely on forcefield mechanics and no matter how good a zerg you are your not gonna be the one controlling who wins the game. i cant name a single thing some of these zergs do wrong when they lose to partings immortal sentry allin :DD while vs other tosses those zergs like sniper takes a shit on immortal sentry allin


And what's a consistent way to beat BL infestor reliably without having the Z screw up on engagement?

don't engage~

It's so stupid that in SC2 we have a race that can be played a number of different ways but one of them is so strong we rarely ever see the others. Why play a style that only works 40% or 50% of the time when you can just turtle into mass infestor/hive and win 90% of the time even when your opponent knows what you're doing?


This. This so much. You're my hero for today.

I don't disagree with you. Broodlord infestor is too strong as well.

Glad you think so. Since we can see eye-to-eye on this we can also agree the matchup needs a huge makeover in order to make sure it isn't like PvT a few months back:

Terran allins, or Protoss completely owns him

versus

Protoss allins, or Zerg completely owns him

I'm not really supposed to say this as protoss but there's something quite good against immortals & forcefields. It's called baneling drops + zerglings.

Always wondered how come a build designed to crush roachling was so good at crushing roachling... Could it have been because it was designed to crush roachling?

You sound like the terrans who used to complain storm + colossus was too strong against bio... well duh, that's kind of the point.
