well i dont think its a wol's mistakes when people just turtle to bl infestor, i think you could do very good things in wol like we saw by flying against stephano in game 3 there were always builds that where exciting, but people just liked it the way it was, i dont know why though.


Why bother with the entertainment of the viewers, if there are boring and easier ways to win?

well people who entertained got more fans, for example huk, idra or mc and nowadays life. well, they lost quite a lot. (except life) huk with his mothership build gained a lot of fans i believe even though he lost the game. i dont know i mean i would rather support huk or mc than sniper with his more of a boring playstyle, even though he is more succesful

The best way to entertain the fans is to crush your opponent for them.

It also works better when players have good salaries and don't rely so much on tournament winnings.

Yes, but a lot of pro-gamers would rather a pocket full of money than a pocket full of fans.

is hots really balanced at all? This looks ridicolous lol. Like 22 drones die in like 2-3 seconds to the oracles. And the spore just instantly died + queen xD

You can't be sure your shenanigans will earn you fans. And the primary goal of a competitor is to win.
It's foolish to willingly give up on the strategy that can give you easier wins.

Yeah, oracles seem ridiculous now. But there hasn't been any time to learn usual proxy locations, timings, spore placements and timings, drone micro, etc.

no it's absolutely not. and anyone who is arguing about that, is either biased as hell towards terran/protoss or has no idea what he's talking about.
But a huge factor might be, that we play on WoL maps right now. I think it HotS maps need to be way more open, to create better chances for zerg to surround. in the last game, sniper hat nearly no chance to make a good flank move happen onto seeds army, and that might've been the reason, he had no chance to hold.

double proxy stargate and 5 oracles... if Sniper figured it out he could have easily smashed it and Seed would have been absolutely dead. 2-3 spores and a queen wipe that out and then it's GG, you just have to scout it or scout your opponents base.

Sniper should have known something was up, he had a overlord spying on the front of the base, saw the third gas and that the gateway wasn't a warpgate yet(Was super delayed because of star gate investment.) Scouting has become extremely important in HotS.. It was risky to not scout in WoL it's suicidal to not scout in HotS.

That one seems hard given they die in 2 seconds.

From what i've seen Zerg is probably underpowered atm, it's what you read in every korean interview as well (even though some of them of course haven't played HotS enough). Not sure about the balance between the other races though.

Given that Terran is the race that always were only really good in hands of the top koreans i guess it's natural they're pretty OP at the moment given that those haven't played enough to see how imba Terrans are in their hands.
