Also, the medivac speed boost is kind of ridiculous considering how much faster it is than every other unit in the game, and since fungal isn't instant anymore I don't know how you lock one down.
I really hope the final release balances some of these issues.
Yeah lets nerf everything in a game that has barely been played on a professional level. Good idea!

Dont hold your breath. I wouldnt expect them to patch anything until a while after release

Why didn't Idra tell him how to play HotS?
i don't think idra has a say on this, considering his recent performance, even in HOTS

I have to say I don't think Stephano controlled his units very badly at all in the end. His infestor control looked sloppy at times earlier during the game (but there was a lot going on), but in the end he used both his infestors and vipers well. There was blinding cloud and fungal everywhere. Can't remember if I saw any corruption from his corruptors though ^^

he had that game but then gave it away >< he never had the game, are we watching the same game?
he had it before he decided to stay on ultras and about 200/200 then let Dream get a lot of vikings+bcs+ravens. He was moving his units back and forth for like 5 mins if not more.

Not to take anything away from Stephano, but I think Dream played really well this series. Made me a fan.
Yea dream is pretty awesome, and he's only 16 years old.

Lol, Terran becoming the new zerg... Yeah, Stephano tried so hard doing nothing for minuts and allowing his opponent to tech Battlecruisers with 2/2 bio vs 5/3 Ultralisks. From this the only logical conclusion is that Terran is imbalanced.
He did attack bro, all that he got was donating units, ling/ultralisk needs surface area, terran units can pack really well with buildings, also can't attack healing flying units  .
Dream could have added widow mines at any point and completely shut down stephano's shenanigans, didnt need to do that though.

i am so happy for hots, the game looks soooooo much better. Finally people with better mechanics and skill or better builds win the games rather than the past year of stagnant horrible metagame and boring Zv everything. Not to mention early aggression is actually smart and viable with all 3 races IMO.

Note "right now". Zerg will always have it harder around release time due to how their macro-heavy style requires safe plays to be pioneered by innovators. The game needs to be figured out more, and safe plays should be created. I think the early game is fine now, what zerg really needs is a way to deal with those late game sky-compositions like Raven-BC and Carrier-Tempest-Mothership-Voidray.

He played a great series vs Minigun recently.

I think people will gradually adapt to all "imbalances" bar speedivacs. It must be changed somehow, either nerfed, costing energy or something among those lines.

Other races had fuck all light pressures to use on Zerg. Hope this trend towards harassment continues, if imbalanced over time patch but not now.
Medivac speed boost needs actively triggered and is fine imo. Zerg players can defend drops better than they have been doing, indeed Stephano at his 'peak' was immense at this. Zerg units move faster than everything else on average, especially on creep so I think their sheer speed can definitely help even if you are caught off guard.
I'd prefer 'too strong' medivacs at present and see how they go, than watching harass be deflected by fungalling everything instantly. if they're too strong in a few months, re-evaluate then
