Vipers are useless against bio/mine. Even if they hadn't died, it wouldn't have made a difference.


Are you insane? Blinding Cloud wrecks bio. Watch the games yesterday.


LOL... All bio needs to do is move out of the cloud. If Stephano follows, his army goes into his own cloud.

not only that... the units will move out of the cloud without you doing anything at all... can someone confirm that its still the case?

The units will move forward, which is good for the zerg as they will come into melee range with roaches, leaving part of the bio army still under the cloud.

The correct response as terran is to kite back ASAP, but it usually results in taking a few free hits from the hydras anyway. This makes vipers a huge help in roach/hydra vs bio, both in battles and as a zoning tool.


If you're going pure bio and mines, you could, you know, burrow some mines behind your bio, this also assures they won't be triggered since overlords and overseers will die above a cloud of bio. Once the terran's bio gets coated by blinding clouds you kite back behind the mines and if the zerg pursues he gets shot in the face by several mines worth of aoe. You rinse and repeat until the zerg is either out of energy or out of units.

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.


Right now I just feel like HoTS improved what terran used/needed to use - Drops were always a signature of terran, medevac boost (too fast/CD too low IMO) effectively improved that. A controller/trap type from broodwar, and a proper mobile light aoe similar to firebat.....while other races got funky units that felt rather odd and hard to use/get used to

I like Stephano, I really do and he advanced so I'm happy. Now I think Dream is even better in early game than MVP in his builds/abuse. I think he will crush Stephano :x

Confess that you haven't practiced HoTS -> play one game -> Claim terran is impossible to win against.

...

And because it's Stephano, ten thousand fans will now endlessly repeat that terran is impossible. *sigh*


I wonder if more aggressive use of zerg tunnel coupled with early overlord speed might be an answer.

in groupstage, outside of Ret going forward before First and MC and maybe Mana before Sting, no real surprises so far

Still, besides Stephano (in zvp) no zerg said zerg was OP in wol, but now terrans are sayinng terran is OP already. But I agree that blizz should wait.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

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.


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

It's astonishing how you persist showing how little you know about the game.
Keep trying.

"I'd call him Dreamy, but he's only 16 so I'll just call him Dream". Amazing.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.
