he let himself took bad positions if need be, because he has teleport.

yes he did. and you guys dont think it hurts the game that this is possible? it allows P to do dmg with no risk, because even if not a single unit ever fires, protoss still forced zerg to build units to defend. thats units that could have been drones otherwise. protoss did this before, but he risked to lose something when he "overcommited". now there is basically no risk involved in this anymore. i think thats pretty stupid.


Isn't think sort of true in WoL for ling runbys as well? Zergs could win games with runbys at any time. But they never really lose games because they 'overcommitted' on ling runbys because you can always pull them back if you see a wall or army losing maybe 3-4 lings.

hmmm i dont think so. if you overproduced lings and didnt to dmg with them (in the early game at least) you pretty much put yourself in a very bad spot. in the late game, maybe, but then again it only works if P made the mistake of not walling in/ having a zealot in position. so no, i dont think thats the same at all.


You are talking about early game ling all-ins. I am referring to runbys the third and fourths in the mid-late game.

Yeah, a lot of americans are often ignorant about non-american things. Luckily I learned when I was 9 that Europe is a continent and not a country.

yes, i get the mvp = awesome comments, but golden didn't play thaaattt badly and just got rolled, it was nowhere close at any stage. maybe i'm just used to mediocre zergs beating good terrans haha


Golden didn't play badly, but there was nowhere near enough base defense. Mvp is being dominant and microing well.

I get what you're saying about Zergs being dominate against Terrans 2 weeks ago, but this is freaking Mvp, there's only supposed to be a handful of Zergs in the world who can compete with him.

Maybe this is me being biased, but I like that Zerg tech is being slowed down substantially by new Terran units and strategies. Not only does it make for less stagnant games, we've also seen a variety of games and playstyles within this series on its own. Swarmy zerg, positional Zerg, multitask Terran, position Terran. It's pretty awesome.

Zergs have to learn to actually play well and micro a bit more. It'll come. If anything Zergs have been harmed the most in the medium term by the, let's say 'strong' state of Zerg in the end of WoL, their play naturally stagnated imo.


Are we allowed to talk about balance in old expansions without fear of reprecussion on TL?

I don't think that their play or skill stagnated per say, but I do think that they aren't used to a meta where they can't forsake units throughout until a push is coming, and tech all the way to hive and be nearly invulnerable to Terran timings.

I think that the "extreme" nature of the Zerg playstyle is coming back to bite them right now though. Either they were playing heavy economy/tech style backed by Queens, or they were switching to an extreme pressure/heavy all in when they sensed a Terran was playing greedy. Their defenses are vulnerable in the mid game now, and most of their "instantly switch to Roach/Bane and run over the Terran base while he's trying to keep up with my economy and not teching" has been wiped out by the Siege Tank research buff and Widow Mines. I think once they find the middle ground in the new expansion, much like it was prior to the Queen patch, they'll be fine.
