And, of course, at no point int he HISTORY OF THE GSL were Zergs every as dominant as Terrans were for the SIX MONTHS of GomTvT that everyone conveniently forgets about


whats old fashioned about 10 queens, infinite map control, creep at terrans base at 13min, 4 hatch at 10 min, constantly 60 larva at the zergs disposal? Anyways, Roro is obviously extremely good so grats to him but im afraid the winner of this GSL wont get the full cred he might deserve.

The difference is that you expect a game to actually get MORE balanced after 3 years than it was in the beginning. When you end up with this, suffice to say someone bungled at the job.


or people are just butt hurt cause taeja, who everyone(~70%) wanted to see win; now we cry imba...as LR threads usually go


To address your main point, the main reason people wanted taeja to win was to avoid the 1000th anniversary edition of a ZvZ finals in the last year of wol :D

I don't even want to imagine how terribad protoss would look without MC. At least terran and zerg had long stays on the throne. Protoss managed to get the odd snipe by inventing some obscure all in/timing- gets figured out in a few weeks then back to be a sad zealot.

BL/Infestor affects even the matches that you don't see it in, because it dramatically narrows the range of strategies Terran can use. And of course the absurd power of queens was on direct display in this series,


So even though he never used BL infestor, it still had a dramatic effect on the matchup?...I'm curious what brilliant strategies exist that terran can't do because of BL infestor, which terran can scout anyway.

Okay


sure you won't, last WOL Finals; if anything you're going to watch it to see roro lose. If someone wasn't going to watch the finals, they wouldn't post it hoping to get attention.


lol... I said I'm not going to, and I'll check TL and hope Roro lost, but I'm certainly not spending time watching it

The sad thing is, if DRG or Life had done this exact same thing, I bet you this thread would be full of "DRGs just on a different level from Taeja" or "Life is simply invincible right now." But because Roro's so unknown, it somehow has to be because zerg is an imbalanced race.

It sucks that there are no longer constructive criticism of the game these days, because there's only whinning for the sake of whining.

Everyone cry on imba but lot of personn predict that he couldn't win, he was the challenger (healthy problem and Roro is strong at the moment). And sorry, but when Roro baneling bust on 2 base a greedy Taeja i don't see something imba here.

The biggest buff to Zerg is its near impossible to hurt Zerg early game. Faster overlords, six range stalkeresque queens...
Queen buff is ridiculous. Pop out 4-6 and hellions, banshees, early game few units of rines can't pressure.

Man, at the highest level I'd even prefer the Zerg to be stronger with infestors and weaken the queens so at least Terran has a chance at slowing Zerg macro down. End game a concentrated Zerg army is always going to destroy a T-ball anyday eitherway.

That put aside, RorO was definetlly the better player here, he played amazingly, best creep spread I have seen this expansion, flawless macro and great harass.

Is this a joke?


If you have a replay or a vod for me to see where zerg spread creep this well against this good of an opponent I'd be happy to watch it.


Scarlett vs Ryung and getting it into his 3rd base (While Ryung was in the Ro4 of Code S at that same venue days later)

Come back later and try again.


Ive never seen creep spread quite as insane as Roro was on Daybreak and Cloud kingdom... but I havent seen those Scarlett' games.


This isn't the exact game but this is pretty precise on how the map looked.

looking forward to your posts in the thread for the finals.

honestly, i'm not nearly as hyped for them as i would be if taeja won either, but come on guys. all the hardcore sc2 fans are gonna be watching. if you have 3k posts on here, you're gonna be watching the finals (unless you're at work or something at the time).

Nobody said it was imba. People said it was a coin flip, and that coin flip obviously paid off.

Roro kicked Taeja's ass. Taeja got to the semifinals with some luck, placing 2nd in both group stages and then hanging on to beat Soulkey 3-2. Roro is the better player in this tournament. He is worthy of being a GSL champion.

But fuck ZvZ.

Compared to Taeja doing manner mules several times against SoulKey? (Okay most Terrans do that.)

*Roro destroys Taeja's 3rd with constant ling runbys preventing hellions from denying creep, delays terran push timing and economy*

I'd just like to say that the main reason for the Terran domination in 2011 was that the game wasn't as well figured out yet. As more time passes, the bigger lead Zerg gets because it has such an advantageous race design (larvae, creep spread, single tech structures). The infestor buff was a too powerful for the role it was meant to have, leading to its subsequent nerf.
