He's not just another faceless zerg. Can you explain the Sniper hate for me? I've been severely out of the loop for a while ;_; | ||

I've been severely out of the loop for a while ;_; People didn't like how he played kind of the turtle hive style zerg that was constantly complained about all the time on top of knocking out several fan favorites on the way to his GSL title. Plus, he all killed Slayers in their final match as a team and Eve cried after he destroyed her. Then he said in an interview after beating Ryung that all terrans were shameless or something and just complain which angered some people. Turns out he was joking but people just assumed he was serious. Idk. I think part of it is people just want there to be a villain. There has to be someone and he just happens to be fitting the profile lately. Just think about it. We had Bitbybit. We had TheBest. We had Puma. There was Heart. Now it's Sniper. And eventually it will be someone else | ||

And also Huk man. That was hard to watch. I mean. I feel for him and everything. But that second 8gate. What was that. All gateways on one pylon, which was not protected by a stalker? And that series against Gumiho was horrible as well.... I hope he does not take it so hard. | ||

I still think TheBest was my favorite because at least he was hilariously awful which is why people were hating (dat banshee control). I think best case scenario: FruitDealer comes back and plays a horrible troll-style and everyone gets mad because he's not their savior anymore... | ||

 Even the one game he won, it was only a win because Sniper made a ton of mistakes, so even the one gateway he forgot all game long didn't matter. Sad to see, considering the high quality of games we had so far until now. | ||

If the zerg cuts all the corners due to the terran being passive early, you can also get outmacro'ed in the mid game which leads to your mid game push being crushed and snowballs into the late game. Honestly, it is about reading your opponent and then adapting to the different things you scout. As for which way is more 'solid', it really depends on the map/opponent/meta game. Yes, true, but on the flipside of your flipside, the zerg has options when you play hellion banshee too: 1) They can play greedy: hellion banshee isn't hard to defend with queens 2) They can play agressive with a roachtiming, roachhydra timing or queenroach timing Meanwhile, when the terran goes hellion banshee, he has later: - third CC - grades And zergs know this, and can abuse this hard  | ||

Nothing FD does can make me hate him after the storyline he created in the first GSL ^^ | ||

I though Bomber stood out very wel with his superior mechanics today. Now to work on them nerves... | ||
