love it
The funny thing is when you charge that laptop, in the end there is a pretty good chance that it's powered by a coal powerplant using a steam cycle to generate electricity

He rejected A code s seed doesn't mean you are Code S level. Very few of the players that have gotten seeded have ever even made it past the first round. Yeap, even Stephano. My point is theres no Code S level foreigner zerg atm Is there even Code S level foreigners for Terran / Protoss? Probably not too. But from what we have seen in this tourney, they maybe closer now than "our" zergs Eh, mana got as far as ret did in the tournament. Both got KO'd by a 3-0. Guess you could say they're at the same level.
Except Scarlett there was no strong foreign Zerg missing here. As for tosses we missed i.e Nani, Sase and Huk

It has 2 Code S Zergs because every single Code S Zerg in the qualifiers lost. Life and Leenock were seeded. edit: right, Stephano. The other ones didn't have to play against a poker-playing Titan, though.

Range phoenix look way too good against corruptors though, that should probably be looked at as I can't imagine they're intended to beat them. It's not the Void Ray/Colossus but the Void Ray/archon/templar that is the problem. Zerg needs to kill the protoss or cripple him economically before the Protoss reaches that composition. I think both of them are quite strong and only very specific counters apply to each, (maybe more sh/hydra oriented vs. the second composition while more hydra/viper oriented vs the first) The templars replaces the collosus with PSI storm witch murders hydras due to their low HP so for all purposes as of anti ground army concerned both compositions are the same regarding power. At least it is more microable and maybe a good zerg can dodge some of them doesn't matter, even if you dodge them the hydras are so damaged that voidrays and archons with their splash damage takes out them relativley easy, and don't even get me started on if Protoss decides to have 4-5 zealots in his army. storm is much less effective against roaches than collosus, also less reliable if you dotn factor in vipers the unit composition I'm talking about has 2-3 templars, 2 archons, 5-7 zealots where as the remaining force consists of voidrays.

Ofc it's fair if we get more zergs no matter if you think they are better or not, they now do not get a chance to prove they actualy could beat Life or Leenock etc.

when will david kim come? after the semi finals or when?

And there are a grand total of 2 Code S Zergs is because the other Code S Zergs had to play in the HotS qualifiers and were eliminated in very one sided games. At a point where noone had any idea what they were doing (especially kespa lol), at least when it came to the korean qualifiers and when hellbat drops were still the coolest thing ever.

My point was more on the line of getting an accurate idea on current balance.
With such a big skill disparity between the top Zergs and the LG-IM players in attendance here at IEM it's really hard to get an accurate gauge but with top Zergs like Life and Leenock attending MLG it should be a much better measurement assuming of course that those two have actually been practicing HoTS at all.

No zerg even in semifinals... this should be Heart of the Swarm! The vengence... Zergs should be OP not underpowered

Now here's what I'VE been waiting for.
The King of Terrans (otherwise known as Darth MVP) vs Yoda.
