Ok I am really getting sick of seeing every single zerg in hots going for infestor/bl/corruptor. Jesus christ please stop I am so glad it's counterable in hots gogo dream!

Broodlords into ultra I can see, but going pure wol late game is irritating me to no end -_-.
When I think of something else, something will go here

SoO, who just qualified for Code S through up/downs yesterday. Clearly Mvp is just a scrub now rite guise

plus he played much worse in those games than in the games he played today (imo)

Okay great play by MVP but looking at his usage of speed medivacs... How does terran lose with that unit, the mobility is retarded.


Because it requires absolutely stupid amounts of micro to use the way MVP did.

I seriously doubt the imbalance extends beyond the top tier pros.


Well but that's what it is about, the game has to be balanced around Flash, Rain and Roro.

Now Flash with these medivacs is not balanced.


And you know that how? Are you some kind of oracle who just KNOWS that people wont be able to defend these drops once they learn to deal with it? Btw im considering playing the lottery, can you inbox me the winning numbers please?


Well everyone basically agreed on this after the last rain vs flash games in code A. Sorry I never win a thing and don't play the lottery^^.

"Everyone basically agreed", well that's enough to convince me. The amazingly insightful hivemind called something imba, they must be correct.


Okay let me elaborate. Blizzards argument for the new ability is that drops are figured out and are no longer viable. But they want to see drops so they buffed medivacs. Now Flash showcased that terrans can still dismantle their opponents completely with normal medivac drops if timed correctly and executed by one of the best. So if Rain had no chance defending it without speedboost imagine it in hots. That's what "everyone agreed on" but let's just wait and see and enjoy the games as they are right now. Looking forward to players adapting their drop defense as the tournament goes on.

You are making whole arguments about 1 match from code A. Don't you think that is kinda silly?

Well, at this point, going bio only for medivac speed and completely ignore widow mine, hellbat, thor's aa, shared mech/air upgrade is kinda telling that medivac speed is a bit "too" good..

I think it has more to do that you can use strategies that are tried and proven instead of going mech with many new unpredictable units.

People have had very little time to practice HOTS and they are there to win money, not to entertain us with wild new strategies.

You're not allowed to balance whine until you get a mirror match-up in a major final for six months straight.

That's happened twice in SC2 history, but we still got time with HotS.

Broods into ultras seem like a waste of time to me against Bio. Just go Ultras.

To soo, who is in code s now


He dropped out of Code A by losing to a good Zerg in WoL, I'll forgive him. If he doesn't re qualify it will be a different story though.

the only thing i'll give forumzergs is I don't get all the infestors nerfs, which weren't really the (core) problem even in wol

wouldn't be the worst to maybe give them their +1 range back

Yeah Mvp looked pretty dreadful in those games, definitely not GSL winning-level of play.

When in doubt...


Seems to be the case with many foreign zergs, it's like some natural response to being under threat. It was such an easy way out in WoL but i'm glad that's not the case here.
