Game 1: Parting better.
Game 2: Parting scoutin hive timing with hallucination, which makes that ability kinda op
Game 3: Parting screwin' up, giving Stephano free stalkers
Game 4: choo choo, hey there, it's the OP train.

First Zerg op, now Protoss op. Makes me feel like SC2 getting uninteresting.

Are you saying Zergs should do something other than 3 hatch gasless against ffe?

There may be imbalance issues, but I feel a big part is that the new units and changes require Zerg players to change their play more than the two other races.

They had gotten dependent and used to infestor broodlord, and the swarmhost and viper are both very different from anything the zerg previously had.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

Players will keep doing this kind of strat and won't use HotS units(apart from Void ray BS).

Good job Blizzard.

Or maybe we shouldn't decide if a build can be held based on a single series where one of the guys has played barely any HotS at all.

It's really simple. HotS midgame zerg not really buffed at all. In WoL, the immortal all-in was INCREDIBLY strong, now with mothership core. It should be virtually unstoppable with a player like Parting's control. Ultimately comes down to terrible game design. Terran still only well designed race. Protoss and Zerg and hilariously badly designed.

Opinions are fun

I've tried to tune in 3 times to IEM, every game i've seen was boring like this one. I'm sure there was some occasional good games (i've heard some of mvp's tvt were good, but it was already a good matchup in wol), but from what i've seen the core issues of sc2 were not fixed.

no it's not simple at all. At least not in the way you describe it. the immortal timing can be held in various ways. Actually it doesn't matter too much which composition you have, as the Protoss composition is "catchall" to begin with. You "just" have to outplay your opponent. Or he fucks up with his FFs.

What about baneling landmines? They were pretty effective with TLO against Grubby. I didn't see an observer with partings force


yeah parting sends in the observer later, since you get an evo anyway you can hide the baneling nest and get all his sentries with 3 burrowed banelings. And stream in at that moment. But I guess pros don't do this since it only works once and well it is a one shot to win or lose.

There have been lots of great games so far just not in this series -_-

And the adpation to a burrowed baneling tech is SO hard to get for protoss. One observer delays you SO hard. Oh, the irony...

Zerg tears are lame.

Parting is the only player on the whole world that can execute this build so perfectly. Stephano hasn't ever see this build before on HotS. Parting is the only Protoss in the tournament doing this build.

It's a very particular case. Don't fucking judge the whole expansion for it.

Well yea zerg in first ~9 minutes or so in Hots is absolutely the same as in Wol except minor changes.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

What does viper/swarm host have to do with what just happened? Those 2 units are completely irrelevant against the immortal all-in.
