I think an equal amount of people are also overestimating the effectiveness of static defenses against drops, especially the double drops that Innovation was using quite a bit.
The 4 medivacs "doom" drops are indeed not defendable by static defenses. Well we gotta wait and see what the pros figure out
I actually think ret has a decent chance against Flash, Bly got very close to drawing the game @ 2-2 and there's no reason ret shouldn't be able to do the same.

what does the zerg have? Leenock and life, maybe stephano and sen.
Racewise its so stack it just isn't fair. But skillwise, this is a great MLG to watch
the reason for that might be that they didnt qualify.....

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.
You don't build static defence when you're behind a base to a terran, you expand further or attack. Turtling up building spines and spores when you're behind on eco is an amateur move.
I like killers overseer muta micro, does a good job of skirting in and out with the overseer to spot for mines while keeping the mutas moving just out of range

You you realize that Life and Leenock is in the top 4 Zerg at least. Stephano is a foreigner zerg that haven't adjusted well against koreans right now and certainly not HOTS.
2 of the top 4 Zergs vs 8 of the top 10 Terrans, gee I wonder why Zerg isnt doing better this tourney.

Thats because all the zerg talent got knocked out in the qualifiers lol...

I saw mutas kill a lot of dropships, I don't know if you have selective sight or blink a lot, but mutas are certainly not useless against drops.
I don't know if you can see moving objects because medivac boost makes them faster than mutas. This means you can unload in any situation and save your drop. Loading up and going for it carries no risk anymore.
Medivac boost isn't a constant speed you realise, it isn't like BW zealot legs.
Innovation lost plenty of full medivacs in that series.

also the reason all the terran are here is because the tvz winrate in the korean qualifiers was 100%, if it wasnt for seeds from previous mlg there was a good chance for 0 korean zergs at the heart of the swarm mlg

TB's point stands.
I wont be surprised if life makes it through this tournament, his style is completely different so we will see.
