MKP vs Jjakji is almost a sure-fire good series.
Bly vs Flash might be surprisingly good. Bly's pretty solid

Seems like counters against swarm hosts are best idea considering they are so slow and cant really defend anything


Counters don't work.
In fact, swarm hosts against anything but fast colossi = insta GG.
Probably the worse HoTS gamedesign.


With recall and blink stalkers, can't a toss run around denying the economy to build up the swarm host numbers needed? Using cannons and a few zealots to defend?


Zealots and cannons are really bad against swarm hosts.You absolutely need collosi to fight them.


Again, might just be because of my lack of HotS knowledge, but I swear every game i've seen has been this build. I haven't actually ever seen Collosi be very effective against it.

There ends up being so many Locust that the Collosi only kill them as fast as they are being spawned and slowly get their hp burned away. Then they get abducted away and die.

Air has better luck, but zerg tends to suicide in hydras to kill observers so the swarm hosts can't be killed. And then the locust can't be blocked and just eat away at the base.

I haven't seen a large amount of Tempest against it, if it's even possible to get that. I do hope there is an answer to counter the build. It's not very entertaining to watch.


Tempests are a good idea in theory, but in reality your obs is just gonna get minced as soon as you get the first tempest volley off. they also provide terrible dps vs locusts so you need colossi. You can hold off the locusts with colossi but its really up to the zerg player to abduct them. vs a good zerg it doesnt really matter how good the protoss is against swarm host play.

Dominated. Rain just slapped him around.

Eh, games one and three were meh, and game two was a major fuck up by Seed. Games were probably closer than the score indicated.


No. Rain made zero mistakes and Seed made constant mistakes.

I suppose he was a tad bit aggressive with his phoenix in the first game which snowballed into a bad choice going 7 gate all in with so many stalkers against VRs, and he did do pretty much a WoL all in in game three, so I'd probably chalk it up to his build choices rather than mistakes.

Leenock's aggression is working out so well for him.

Man, I was thinking that BabyKnight would take at least one game off of Leenock, given the state of ZvP and his micro. Alas.

Leenock is playing really well today though. He handled pretty much everything perfectly. Timings were spot on.

Did he find a keyboard? If he didn't, that can't help both mechanically and mentally.
