What games in this tournament that had infested terrans used enough to make an impact?


i felt in some snute games that some engagements were pretty close and could have gone maybe in another way with better infested terrans. also maybe nerchio vs socke sometimes.

but maybe zergs just need a little more time to adapt. it was really on short notice.

i feel the impact is much greater than reduced cocoon hp from 100 to 70.

I bet Golden blames blizzard and the patch release date on him going last place. He just outplayed so he shouldn't blame anyone but his opponents being better than him.

I think you are confused, we are rooting for Vortix. If kas wins Vortix can't make it through ;-(, saddly. (unless i'm mistaken?)

I wrote this on the previous page but it got the unforunate 20th spot so let's try this again:

I think we might be attributing too much of todays results to the most recent patch. I don't think many of these great PvZ's were really impacted by the patch. Gotta consider other factors like Socke's form today. He's been beasting all day today and the series against Nerchio for example was more of Socke's clean micro and decision making rather than this one attack by Nerchio on Socke's third where the IT's didn't do much damage against the 3/3 zealots if you know what I mean.

There wasn't any great PvZ's today. There wasn't any great game, to be frank. I didn't catch many games but all the games I've watched were so.. lacking in execution and generally messy and mistakes-ridden.

Sure close games are often better to watch than clean yet boring games, but I wouldn't call these games "great." It just isn't the right adjective to describe these.. ladder-like games.

Awhh yeaaa! We might actually be able to tell the difference between top tier zergs and average zergs now

Things that seem small can snowball really fast. For example in the clutch defense by Nerchio just now, if ITs were stronger when Nerchio tried to defend the first attack wave by Verdi, he might have slowed it down faster and might thus have hold faster, so we wouldn't have had that amazing back and forth. It's speculating and maybe exaggerated, but my point is that it might have had subtle influences that have a bigger effect than one might assume.
