Not really the lineup actually has a lot of strong zergs if you look at it. A lot of it has to do with the group distribution, which resulted in most zerg players losing in group stages. You can't really take a single tournament such as the ipl qualifier to make a balance statement. Only two zergs did well - Jaedong, who is amazing, and Symbol, who scraped by multiple rounds with 2:1 wins. | ||

I think a lot of good old 2b all in are still really good against lower lvl Z. But once your opponent has a ton of brood and infest, well, knowing you have maybe 10% of winning is a rather frustrating feeling. | ||

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 The funny thing is, that at least in PvZ seems to happen a metagameshift too, a lot of this games where decidet by protoss before infestors even could come into play | ||

@LiquidTLO 1. Had a really good run, but in the end the better player won. Big respect for First. I am growing with each tournament now I think! 2. I'm not sad, but also not satisfied with myself. Okay start for the year. Fighting!  | ||

Korean Protoss pre hive timings are really fucking scary, I don't blame TLO Yeah they are scary. You know what is even scarier? Going against them without a defensive Infestor/Spine/Corruptor close to maxed supply setup without Broodlords on the way to ease the pressure at some point. Like if you spend your money on roach+burrow+burrow movement + a spire "just in case". Or when you waste your money on banelings, when your opponent has forcefields. | ||
