Roro is the better player in this tournament. He is worthy of being a GSL champion. But fuck ZvZ. This tbh. The only ZvZs I enjoy, in general, involved Nestea or Life  | ||

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. Yeah Roro is the better player but still Zergs are winning everything for the last 6 months. It cannot be only skill. | ||

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. It is like terrans didn't even pause to breathe before complaining about something else. he won without abusing BL infestor, but because queens can deflect hellions that means terran can't do anything vs zerg? even though the game usually lasts 15-20 minutes. look at game 1, taeja played well using drops and beat Roro, furthermore there are plenty of 2 base builds terran can do that blow heavy queen play out of the water, Roro just played great games 2-5, he had flawless mechanics and some smart all ins, taeja just crumpled and it had nothing to do with imbalance | ||

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. Yeah Snipe was rathe well balanced i have to say, Just to name one. | ||

Hopefully someone can tell me how many times you asked "is liberate71 here yet?" :D If I could put money on it, I would... *shrugs* I dont know when they are on - so not sure what i'll be doing. | ||

Yes so let's constrictively discuss how good whirlwind is as a map. And we all saw how Roro outplayed Taeja on that map. | ||

Taeja felt forced to go for extremely greedy openings to keep him on some semblance of even footing going into the late game. He didn't have the luxury of just playing safe and comfortably outplaying his opponent like a Zerg can. Terran have to do something unorthodox because playing a bog standard game against Zerg is like fighting your way uphill. | ||

I'm actually looking forward to the finals in hopes of seeing something creative or 20 minutes total of high intensity ling bane wars. | ||

Reminds me of WoW PvP balance a lot. Every season there would be 'flavor of the month' team compositions or classes then the next season they'd suddenly be awful and what was underpowered last season was suddenly overpowered and got 'free gladiator' given they just found other good players to create the flavor composition. They can't do this with an RTS without making it completely obvious and boring. | ||
