you shouldnt be talking about balance. Last game was decided by how curious set himself up for the late game with his mid game play. He had 3 - 3 air at like 20 min lol

you can't beat super late game zerg army head on. When it gets to the point where zerg throw lings away to get more broods or infestors, then that should be the que to get abunch of prism and start taking out structures and bases.

I did, yeah. I think I caught the last two or three months then my time as a balance whiner ended abruptly.

When you start praising Zergs for their static defense buildings micro, you know it's time for HotS.

I feel like Artosis is the kind of person to always compliment the most abusive play. ^^ ("so beautiful how he goes for that turtle strategy!")


"Abusive" is just another word for "intelligent".

"Look how this Terran builds an SCV with his first 50minerals. This is so abusive. If his opponent started with 10Zerglings in his Base he would be dead."


What you say is true but your example is abit lol.

Casters are so bad, they became too sure of themselves over time its just horrible to hear. Anyways very nice game, Curious had a cool idea there with the spores and speed overlords, when he got speed I was like "wut?" and the casters didn't even mention it.

The game would have looked so different in HotS with tempests instead of carriers (Parting only got 1 carrier at the start for forcing the engagement, since he couldn't make tempests yet), can't wait till release!!

I have to say that was uncharacteristically poor control from Parting... but I guess who really practices the nuance of WoL skytoss control. As MC showed, you need some colossi in there to help the carriers zone out infestors, tank broodling hits, and kill broodlings to protect your HTs. You also need more HTs than Parting had. And, Parting's vortex usage was just bad. Used it way too quickly and carelessly. Vortex is supposed to be your last option, not your first. Positioning is the most important aspect of skytoss control in that situation and vortex is like FF in that it can mold the battle field to your will.

Artosis said it, there is nothing a P can do in that situation vs a competent Z. Moving on.

But...but.. MC won one late game PvZ in ro32. It cant be unbalanced!

i don't think it's got anything to do with balance. parting got caught with his pants down to the mutas, tried to recover but never really did. then curious just choked him slowly like the psychopath he is.


Yep, Curious just won the early game, won the mid game and then won the late game.

Yeah, abusive means intelligently.

It's about perspective imo. From a winning/competitive standpoint the most abusive is the most intelligent, and from a "DATZ NAWT FAAAAAAIR QQ" standpoint the most abusive is the most imba.

Abusive play tends to be intelligent, not all intelligent play is abusive. :o

Last game was what Life was supposed to do on Akilon Flats, but he chose to stay on Mutas instead and we all saw how that turned out. Curious played that out very smartly.

Well, it's quite abusive to build an SCV with the first 50minerals, when you could instead get a barracks slightly faster. Completly abusing the fact that you won't need it. In no scenario ever.

So you missed that time Artosis and IdrA felt the need to start a weekly show in which they talked about how overpowered protoss was vZ?
