Oh! I know! They play zerg.


Lucifron and Kas went down pretty heavily as well. Its not so much them being zergs (just look at ret) as all of these players started practicing hots very recently (IEM kinda fucked them over in that regard ^^)

I also think Snute is playing really poorly for whatever reason and I doubt things would be hugely different scorewise for him if this tourny had been wol

Now tell me why Nerchio who lost to superior players with Yonghwa and PartinG and ret who only lost to YoDa only made it out due to luck? OH ZERG IS SO WEAK. Yet you have violet topping his group right now... jesus.


He was not trying to say zerg is too weak in hots, but that the 4 mentioned players are patch zergs.

Edit: I should add that I don't agree ^^. They are just having a bad tournament or haven't adapted to hots yet, just as Lucifron or Kas which nobody would call patchterrans.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Did Snute actually beat any impressive terrans or tosses in any of his championship runs?

Here is the problem, you're taking the first tournament.. and trying to determine who is, or isn't a "patchzerg" and trying to determine balance, off a tournament that a good chunk of players, didn't plan on playing HotS for.

Hard to say really.

We need to see more tournament results.

After HotS is officially launched and we have GSL tournaments, then we can see.

Yeah.

I just thought it was funny how the zergs that had success before the "patch" are still going strong (Nerchio, Ret, Violet) but these guys are doing terribly. Of course there are other factors involved, but still pretty funny to see.

Useless.

Vortix needed to add a bit of infestor to his composition.

Plus his Vipers got feedbacked before they could I believe.


I am not sure whether his Viper's got feedbacked.

During the final engagement, all i saw a blanket of storm.

Vortix needs to add a few infestor to his composition.

I know they got feedbacked outside Mana's fourth, near the Xel'Naga tower, but after that I'm not sure.

Yeah, the thing is Violet is a korean and Ret has been playing HotS for a long time. Most of the people who failed (Lucifron, Kas, various zergs) didn't practice enough HotS. Most were under the impression IEM would be WoL but it was changed on such short notice.

This is the first tournament in HOTS, there are people attending that have practiced it far more than others that why there are such huge variances in the skill shown by some

Nerds are frustraded with another race and there succes. So you get alot of that now, players like Slivko and Vortex will stay around no worries, they still are better then alot of avarage other race foreigners.

You act like they came up after the patch, won everything, never won anything after again. MC did win a ton, he's out now. Patchtoss? LucifroN had a very good run, Patchterran... just because players came up at a time where their race was strong, doesn't mean they got strong because of a certain change. I can assure you that no one rises from not skilled to top tier with just one change.

It's true, that HotS is way harder for Zergs, because you can't rely so much on Broodlord/Corruptor, which is the best way how to play Zerg in WoL. So it is not surprising that lots of players lack skills in situations that require gamesense, decision making, multitasking, fast reaction and so on.. In WoL, you just defend, defend, defend and win.. Now in HotS, it's not so easy anymore. I don't call anyone "patchzerg", because it's very negative term, but there is something to it, you are blind/ignorant if you say otherwise.

im terran/protoss

i just choose to play better instead of complain like most people, apparently including you

none of the results in the last few months are "abnormal" or "invalid". the zergs played better and won with the version of the game that was current then.
