This says more about WoL balance than HoTS imo.

Terrans have more freedom which is great and it also shows.


Zerg has less freedom which is bad and it also shows.

Not being able to go 3 base 70 drones behind pure queen and a handful of lings is bad? I beg to differ.

Pure bio first game.

Wow....sounds so nice....

Sorry if asking too much...but could someone go into more details here? I love playing pure bio in tvz....like, what unit composition did stephano have? Why did he lose, was it because of drops? How did MVP utilize mines?

Those were a lot of units Mvp sacked to do that, in cost at least just as much as 19 drones.
Since he lost all those units and Stephano made so much roaches he should be at least do a bit of damage back, because Mvp can do that pressure and still go for greedy 3 cc's and double ups early.
But 4 mines and a siege tank hold of 15 roaches quite easy.
In WoL mvp would have had to lift his nat to hold that probably


he got 11scv.
he was just too far behind for it to be enough.
Zest fanboy.

Yup, I think they need to re-add the siege research.


I really don't think the tank needed that buff to begin with :x I mean, why? And I'm Terran.


To hold off early Zerg roach attacks I think is the reasoning.

Good luck to all the zergs trying to punish terran when they have mines in place AND sieged tanks behind all their depots and whatnot.


New standard will be 3x orbital in the early game i think, zerg will have real trouble punishing Terran greed now.


Terran has been unable to punish Zerg greed for almost a year now in WoL. And guess what, Zergs will get better at defending as time goes on. The game is not even released yet.

Zerg will have to come up with something new to punish terran greed now, not just mass up one unit, attack and expect GG. During the 1/1/1 all in period v P Terran at least had to do some work for their win.


They didn't really you know better then that, 1/1/1 could be played well on lower league's aswell. Take of those pink glasses please.

I'm just seeing zergs not responding well enough to terran aggression and that shows too.

Balanced race distribution in playoffs? Better players winning their games? What is this sorcery?

I wouldn't call sitting on 3 bases with 100 drones and no units a good amount of freedom to have for the game.

They've got plenty of freedom, they've just got to stop being so damn greedy and build base defenses or get lair tech for hydras quicker.


Yeah, just as much as Terran in WoL

Lol @ Stephano

He's basically been talking all day about how he hasn't really practiced HOTS, and then complains about how he doesn't know how to handle the new Terran when the player he lost to is motherfucking IMMvp, the single greatest player in SC2 history, who has has months and months to focus on HOTS because he was knocked out of the GSL.

Is Stephano supposed to be competitive with Mvp in this case in the mind of his fans?

I'll answer for you: he isn't.

MvP lost like 11-12 scv's in that counterattack... he had too pull a lot of them to hold it...

Here we go again, Mvp nerfing terran all by himself.


not really lol, top10 gm in hots beta was like 7 terrans and every pro knows that changes are needed for zvt


even all pros in every interview say zerg is the weakest and terran the strongest. I dont see how anyone can deny it either...

I think it's entirely to early to really say anything yet. Zergs are still so used to the ez mode they had in WoL to be brutally honest. Give the top zergs some more time to work with the new units and changes. If in 1-2 months after release Zerg are getting stomped out, then call imba.

Players whining about balance and crying for blizzard to nerf/buff to early/quickly is what led WoL to it's troubles near the end. Give time for players to figure shit out and learn how to actually counter things before saying which race is weak and which isn't.


Agreed.
We just have to wait for the first HotS GSL season.

Where top players Life,DRG,Leenock,Curious,Symbol will play the game.
If they do get stomped, then we can start debating but now it's still too early.
Play your best

Some Zerg posters are absolutely unbelievable with the nonsense they come out with.

Let the game SETTLE please. The end of WoL was ruined for me and many others because Zergs got patches/favourable map pools to fix the 'broken' race when they could have figured it out given a bit of time.

Mvp was already ahead because Stephano went 15h/16p despite seeing gas and no rax inbase. He killed 10 SCVs with his Roach attack, is this not "a bit of damage back"? And why don't you blame Stephano for suiciding his Overseer on mines?
