Yeah, but mediocre foreign zergs are used to beating top korean protosses.


Korean zergs don't have more HP or more armor on there units


they've way better mechanics to back them.

I guess the collosy killed the infestors that came close.

Slivko had like 10 infestors with enough energy to fungal, and only 2 colossi were alive. And he needed maybe 3 fungals to kill 20 voids.

He missed one fungal and I guess that was enough to get out of range, etc.

Hopefully HotS is a wake up call for most zergs.

This is the first major HOTS tournament and Zergs are already claiming that Protoss is imbalanced?

Zergs should try and prevent Protoss from getting Broodlord Infestor with Warp Prism play... errr I mean Airtoss with Nydus harass.

slivko is just a terrible zerg. he is not able to multitask at all and just know how to camp behind spines, waiting for the ultimate death ball. this is not viable anymore and it is good news !

Good analysis. He could´ve beaten him indeed. Now, that void ray strength is another matter...

Agreed, just seeing infestors die always brings a smile on my face. Broods and corruptor dieing are cherry ontop.

Seems weird to keep massing corruptors, how do the new hydras do? would've thought a flank of hydras instead of the corruptor flank would've done massing dmg.

You saw the analysis... Slivko did a big game breaking mistake.

Let's give it time before we talk about imbalance, there aren't enough games yet and the skill levels between each player is quite different.

also zerg needing 8 fungals is way harder than protoss needing 1 vortex in wol
they can still split and the game is still imba

Gotta say that mass VR was stupid, but Slivko played quite bad and passive, no surprise he lost it.

Fungal is 10 range now. Yes, 10. Colossus only has 9.

So VRays have charge with a cooldown and you can't think to feint an attack to bait out the charge and retreat? So you just attack move into them and get owned.

and you think a player like parting will waste the cooldown just like that? to get parting to activate that cooldown you have to commit quite hard. then you fall back? and eat dmg while your shit moves out of range? dont think that's such a good idea

funny how they analyze the game saying "slivko should have fungaled more"... kind of lol considering we wanted to get rid of fungal deciding the game...

It shouldn't be viable for any race though

So, slivko could have killed like 15 voidrays at once if he just sat there are cast 2 more fungals. Instead he runs away against.... 2 tempests while he has 12+ infestors.

Yes, clearly slivko lost because of imbalance and not because he went full foreigner.

Voidrays and tempests really need a change of some sort. That was crazy.

The Tempest is perfectly fine.

indeed

Hardest to deal with is the voidray.

To be honest i thought parting's game plan was thought out much more than slivko's. That decided the game, imo.

Voidray isn't supposed to counter corruptors?
I don't think going mass corruptors against this comp should be the good answer. (I mean, even if VR are indeed too powerful, the answer should come from something else)
