The problem is that it's entertaining because it's different, not because it's a better match-up imo.


Anything is better than mass spine crawlers, infestors and brood lords. Anything.

You can't just all in with your Hive tech army any more and win. Split the map with static defense and add Vipers and/or Infestors. Stop complaining about something that is beatable. It's unbeatable if you just do the old WoL Hive tech A-move "cuz I got Broodlords" style.

It's too early to say something is or isn't beatable. It's not easy to beat regardless.

I'm not sure if It's possible to get something worse than WoL PvZ where you either all in or you die

Looks like its switched to Swarmhost bust or die tbh.

It's way better.

Infestor/Broodlord is literally the dullest unit composition there is, and the fact that the only way Protoss could ever really counter it was via the Archon Toilet just made it worse.

I don't think so. So much more action and positional play. More micro intensive too.

Deathballs are entertaining? There werent anything else going on the map apart from few zerglings/zealots at back of bases.

Will you be saying that in a year if the match-up still looks the same?

First recent game of HotS ZvP I've watched, they're actually content with the air stacking + storm dynamic? Short of getting a complete circle with your corruptors (or having like 15 vipers with enough army somehow rofl) I'm not seeing how you micro your way out of that; corruptor range and movement speed are way too low. Are we just back to the earlier WoL styles of end game before protoss can get close to a max?

The swarm host/corruptor v colossi/voidray/stalker wars are pretty fucking awesome though; shame it seems to transition into move back and forth until you can storm and win.

It feels like a better match up to play and watch, at least until the very lategame. But that may just be because it's different though haha.

Not getting your drones murdered by 4 zealots, not running through storms.


how do burrowed units and air units that move slightly slower than tectonic plates dodge storms?


Except he ran his brood lords and hydras with speed upgrade back and forth through storms without attacking. On creep too, lol

So what are you suggesting? That he should have loaded all his army back into a Nydus and went back to his base every time he wanted to pull back slightly? LOL...

The Queens moving slowly was a matter of Creep spread. He had Overlord speed, he could have brought Overlords to creep up then put down tumors in the middle of the map, but he was probably afraid of losing Overlords to Phoenixes early on, that's why he didn't. He probably still should have.

Not sure.
Protoss with warp prism mass zealot warp in late game is pretty fun to watch.

Now if we look at immortal sentries all in however. Basically we are just watching protoss land all those FFs and zerg hoping he has enough to hold lol
beautiful FFs they maybe, but the lack of interaction between players is stupid

Roach/Hydra/Viper is extremely strong, that's just not true.
