I LOVE the patch. I LOVE IT. SO MUCH


A lot had to do with the fact that the rest of Nerchio's army was pretty much un-upgraded too.

If that game was actually indicative of the future of WoL PvZ then the IT nerf was great (that's a big if though). Too bad there's only a few months of WoL left lol

Kas wins and makes it 1-1 against VortiX, he's 3-0 on Metropolis today, all games against Zerg.

Just wait till Toss gets the 3/2/3 from double forge so Zerg Marines won't do damage to shields even. Really funny how you can ignore them almost and deal with them after the Zerg is pushed away.
And yay Socke !

It is really great that mass infestors spamming infested terrans is not always worth it in the late game now. This was a really exciting ZvP!

Socke should have won that game 10 minutes ago, considering his eco harass and his massive upgrade advantage.


And his >50supply deficit?


He was constantly closing out the supply deficit by being so much more cost-efficient in the engagements, and you should know that a 50 supply deficit is completely normal in mid-game PvZ.


well yeah, but socke was also very low tier (hardly any immortals and colossi).
The situation was very different from a "normal" midgame, because Socke went double upgrades instead of Robo Units.
It was quite an equal situation. Even more, pre-IT patch I would say Socke would have lost against the mass IT/Roach/ling attack at the third in the midgame.

The only reason Nerchio lost that was because he didn't upgrade at all and didn't do anything to defend his later bases where the most of his income is coming from. If anything it was Nerchio's fault that he lost.

So nice to see a PvZ like that! Back and forth battles, constant harrasment. Not just Mass up BL's vs Get mothership 1 battle GG.

Very well played by Socke <3 <3

Mmm yeah I kind of got the feeling that was the case. Just woke up so I'm kind of groggy and wasn't looking at upgrades.

this has nothing to do with the patch, nerchio just didn't upgrade his army properly.


ITs not benefitting from upgrades is the only reason Socke was able to stay in the game when Nerchio counterattacked his 3rd.

Socke should have lost that game if Nerchio played like he usually does.
