The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

Leenock was never the greatest multitasker, but the way the games develop is pretty tragic. Only terran gets to be offensive while Z and P has to turtle to avoid taking immense damage from drops. It might be fun for a little while, but it will make for 30 min long infinite repeats..

How is innovation so good ? Does freaking spider sense to find the burrowed banelings almost every single time :d


Yes how could he predict that Leenock would be putting burrowed banelings in the same spot 5 times in a row?

Cool game though, mutas are still more fun than the rest.


And Leenock is know for burrowed banes


Still is not something easy to do when you are dropping in 2-3 at the same time and pushing with your army other place.

yeah, zerg needs a buff.

I like how speedivacs are rewarding Terrans with good multitasking though.



I don't feel it to be rewarding to be honest, because dropping isn't really a risky move anymore, now you will at least almost always get away with your unit. If nerf is needed, I would like to see something like medivacs are mofre fragile when boost is used, like +50% damage when you're in booster mode.


Problem is nothing anti air is as fast as a boosted medivac so they could have 10 hp and be jollygood


Yes, but now you can litteraly fly over stalker spore and don't give a shit about it, even if your position is good which is problematic. I like to see it and it's a good thing that drop is strong, but it should be something that you can punish if you play it well enough.

Also everyone that is talking about static d, you would need 4 spines and 4 spores per base I think to completely cover a base. Don't think he had the money to sac 8 drones and 800 minerals to just protect one expansion.

Seriously what the hell was that? Leenock one of the best zergs in the world winner of 2 MLGs and last IPL gets 3-0ed even when going muta play to counter the drops.
I loved the crowed going "Boooooo" when Innovation boosted the low hp medivac and ran away from the mutas....

Leenock lost quite a lot of ZvT before the queen patch, he was schooled by Prime T, whereas Bogus made a splash in wol TvZ so it is to be expected to see him beat Leenock.

Zerg cannot be offensive when medivacs are this fast, it's really sad. Need to find timings for ling/baneling/roach midgame imo, or go 110% defense until hive...

Guys, the game is a week old, stop freaking out about terran. You gotta remember zerg dominated MLGs and other tournies for months before this came out. Give it some time before you freak about balance.


And a LR thread is not the place for it..

For those that say dropping is so easy, just look at the games of Bomber vs Bly and compare them to Polt vs Creator and Innovation vs Leenock.

Bomber is a great macro beast, but his control can sometimes be off and on. His drops were kinda bad, constantly dying mid flight, or dropping into waiting zerglings.

Polt, Innovation and to a lesser extent, Flash, they keep track of multiple drops. Position themselves where zerglings can only have a small attack area behind mineral lines, and most importantly, pick-up when they're about to get overwhelmed. That's not minimal micro. That's no shift queue commands.

And to the joker who said, injects, overlord spread and managing lings is more micro intensive... well, even the top zergs admit that its a bit easier to control (NOT MASTER, CONTROL!) zerg. Hence foreigner zergs actually having a chance against top Koreans.


Yes that was in WoL, they havn't said that in HotS so you're talking about a dated game.

You should if only for strategies Ret will try.
Thats the problem with zergs right now - the best ones played little of HotS and lack strategic sense while the not-so-good ones understand meta-game but fall in execution.

There is no risk for drops anymore, you can just que them up wherever and whenever you want without risk. So frustrating to watch.



It is annoying to watch, but I'm not convinced that Zerg are defending against it properly.

I'm convinced if someone as talented as Leenock just made a couple of spines at his bases and some corrupters, like Gowser did versus Bomber, he would be able to defend against this style much better than Gowser did.

We don't know yet, but I really think that Leenock needed more static defense. He barely had any, and when Terran see Mutas, he usually responds with like 2 Turrets per base, and maybe even more in the main base, why shouldn't Zerg do the same?
They just didn't get used to the new Medivac and Infestor being nerfed a lot. Innovation really outplayed Leenock in these games, Leenock didn't look that good actually.

No, you don't... You are not making Spines to completely destroy the units, but to deflect the attack and/or delay it so that your lings arrives on time before he take down your Queens/Buildings/Drones.

It will be closer, Flash almost lost an even macro game to a foreigner zerg yesterday.

As long as he doesn't mech he'll be fine.


He played bio in the 4th game and almost lost, that was the one I was talking about.
