About Machine: Machine is a member of Evil Geniuses and an American Zerg player. He has been playing Starcraft since Brood War, and has most recently begun playing Heart of the Swarm. What he lacks in tournament results he certainly makes up for in community involvement, and he can be caught streaming frequently as well as making appearances on Wednesday Night Sprites with ChanmanV and others

About Beastyqt: Fighting for team Empire and currently residing in Serbia, Beastyqt is a Terran player. He has certainly had his ups and downs in 2012, but has started 2013 strong with some Heart of the Swarm. This year he is hoping to make his mark as one of the better Terran players in the world. Having played players such as Slavik, QXC, Dimaga and Acro in MapControlCO show matches before, he is certainly a seasoned show match veteran, and he hopes to challenge Machine

If you think HOTS isn't the perfect place for players to break through, you're crazy. Machine is a talented player, and hots has already allowed for the surfacing of some awesome players.

Maybe, but Beasty is skilled, not only talented. Skill > talent

Honestly, I feel like balance has more to do with this than skill. Ultralisks are really, really strong right now, and Beasty doesn't do a lot of all-ins, so I see Machine taking this 4-1.

i'm guessing if you honestly think that Z > T atm in hots, your name is likely after the league you play in.

No. I am a Masters Protoss player. I've even played Beasty on ladder.

But my opinion is based on the limited watching of streams (Idra, Dragon and Thorzain when he streamed HOTS). So I'm almost completely ignorant regarding HOTS TvZ anyway, but it seems that late game Zerg has a nice advantage with Vipers and Ultras, they just have to get there. And Beasty doesn't all-in much and Machine is a very solid player. We'll see what happens.

So CatZ, you're saying that you'd expect to lose to Beasty were you in Machine's place?

As long as Beasty (ab)uses Hellbats every zerg will lose imo.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Hellbat drops on mineral lines with speedy Medivacs seem ridiculous to contend with. Was just watching Dragon try and defend them.

Hellbats and widow mines are a bit overpowered now, especially when combined with the medivac speed boost. Unless machine somehow abuses hatchery tech burrow to great effect, terran should enter mid/late game with a huge advantage.

There's a pretty sick video of tt.PiG vs cWc.Shimoon on HOTS recently
+ Show Spoiler +

Granted this is a "once in a while" game, but it still shows how epic late game TvZ can be on HOTS




if Machine doesn't ignore the new units and does not try to fight beasty with WOL tactics, I think he can do it, but goswser is correct, this will be an uphill battle for him =)

Machine's agreed to talk with us a bit after the show, so if you guys have anything you've been dying to ask him post it here or cross your fingers that we see it in chat after the show match. :-)

Zerg is bad so Beasty will win unless Machine goes roach hydra, in which case he will win.

I haven't watched a whole lot of beta just yet, but this match-up definitely intrigues me - curious to see what both players have planned.. really hope machine can show good games, despite what appears to be an inherent racial disadvantage..!
