Medivac speed combined with insane multitasking sure proves to be a recipe for both success and awesome games!

Yeah, it's kinda weird. They'll make 25 spines vs. Protoss at important chokes, but won't make any vs. Terrans to protect their bases.


Bio wrecks static defense a lot faster. "Oh you built 3 spines and a spore? I'll just send 2 medivacs full instead of 1 and hit your fourth at the same time!"

See: Game 2, Bogus vs Leenock


You know what happens when he's killing your static defense?

He's not killing drones and your army has time to come back and defend.

It's not the damage, it's the fact it slows your opponents attack down.

People keep acting like medivacs are the only unit that can fly and that they can just end up at your base without ever being seen.

Static D isn't meant to deflect drops, it's supposed to buy time.

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.

but in diamond when i build lots of spines and spores at each base i win!

I don't see any viable way for Zergs to stop drop pay besides turtling hardcore until max. Mutas can't stop drops, Infestors can't stop drops anymore. Zergs cannot move outside of their base anymore. There is no point.

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


There is no risk anymore, because everyone gave up on building static defense, because medivac can just boost through em. So now it is even easier to drop everywhere, because there are no zones to avoid and nothing that will damage the Medivacs.

With Mutas regenerating now, I was missing a harassment unit that you cannot kill but have to weaken it until it has to pull back. Though Medivacs are easy to replace haha.

I feel hots will bring back the gomTVT era! Terran > all.

Don't worry.
There will be balance patch out by friday.


Dream on. Blizzard isn't patching because some Kids in forums cry about a balanced game.


Where have you been during 2011 ?

Nah, Blizzard will nerf Terran because it makes sense. If you can honesty look at these games objectively and say Terran doesn't need a nerf then good for you. But it will be nice for those of us living in reality.


That's not what I was getting at. Blizzard have indeed buffed the shit out of zerg just because of children whining on the internet, all the while NesTea was busy winning back-to-back GSLs and DongRaeGu was raping in GSTL and MLG...



Dongraegu didn't win an MLG till 2012... He didn't even do particularly well at the MLGs in 2011. I think he took like 6th behind 5 Korean terrans iirc.


I never said he won MLGs. If you watched the games, they were some amazing TvZs that proved why he was the best zerg at the end of 2011.

He got a 5th and two 3rd places during the second half of the year, also winning an IEM and a DreamHack invitational. I'd say that's not so bad.

Plus 2nd in Blizzard Cup in a pretty nerve-wrackingly insane series.


He was considered the best ZvT player in the world by far, and he was losing left and right to Terrans in tournaments. He got knocked out of his first MLG by Mvp & MMA, then from the next one by Bomber. The best ZvT players had 50-55% win rate in the matchup, while top Terran players had 70-80%.

In his prime, he barely won a Dreamhack 3-2 over Thorzain. Yes, Thorzain took 2 maps from DRG in bo5. In the IEM he won, he only played 1 Terran, Strelok, and only won 2-1.

That's how well the best ZvT player in the world was doing at the time.

leenock playing terrible


leenock playing greeat


Leenock ignores static defense 3 games in a row and loses loads of drones every time. If that's great play, I feel that the game was soured by zerg skill in WoL.


The key word is static. Terran can drop and kill drones, hatchery or tech. Build static defenses to defend all three and you won't have any units.

leenock refusses 2 build static defence! WHY!!!


Leenock and other Zerg's deserve to lose if they play this arrogantly.


yeah man terran with 3 cc at 6 mins, zerg on 2 base, fucking greedy zerg should build more defenses!


On Newkirk, Leenock was floating 1500 mins with four bases up.

Instead of giving himself the option to push out onto Innovation's side of the map, he allowed Innovation to run him ragged with drops. Even if he was able to delay drops at one or two bases with spines instead of stretching his entire army he would have had a chance.

He kills your static defense, you are still down 3 drones (besides the larva) per spine.
