One strong reason for Zerg's struggling was the patch. The combination of infestor nerfs: IT's, fungal and even the eggs is probably the biggest nerf in the game since beta. Zerg win rates will plummet to the joy of so many.

There is also the fact Parting and First at the minimum were the two highest caliber players here.
Red and yellow are all I see

I've honestly been wondering that the whole weekend. Is the IT nerf that bad for WoL?

My HoTS games in PvZ have been going well when I'm usually losing convincingly. Does it really deter people that much to avoid ITs?


I don't think it is bad for WoL, quite the opposite actually. But i do think that Zerg is doing worse because of the Infestor nerf. Next to every Zerg game i have seen the last few months has been an Infestor based build. Now that these builds don't work as well anymore Zerg players are forced to come up with new builds, and they may not have adapted quite yet.

I am really looking forward to see how this patch is going to affect Zerg in future tournaments. I know that the term "patchzerg" is frowned upon, but i nevertheless think that it is a little funny the first tournament after Infestor nerf, has the worst Zerg representation of any major tournament in the last six months

I think the IT nerf is scaring people away from using them more than rendering them ineffective, from what I've seen.

The only game where I really noticed a difference was Kas vs Golden on Metropolis. Golden tried to fight 3-3 BCs with 0-0 ITs. It was pretty funny to see

Yeah, the 3-3 BC army is pretty much unkillable now, I suppose. You pretty much have to make 1000 corruptors and then Terran makes all marines and a-moves.


Gee, I wonder if that's the same as having to overmake viking/raven and then dieing to a mass ling or roach or ultra or anything ground switch

You have infestors still, they are good against all unit combinations so that sort of swap is not nearly as good as you make it seem, and getting 3-3 BCs is an ENORMOUS investment, like 3-4 starports with tech labs, then like 8 minutes to fully research 3-3 and then also the 300-200 cost of BCs and the supply. It's not easy, it's not even comparable to anything that a zerg would do since their tech swaps are much easier to do.


400-300. You don't tech switch to bc. You either play someone who refuse to attack or Metropolis.


Exactly, thanks for clairifying
