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.

People stop with this whining, boost is at an advantage because it's an ability that needs to be reacted to, and since the game is young players haven't developed the correct responses yet. You need to shut up and wait


Wait 2 years like in wol? and then balance is swinged totally to another corner.


I hope they adopt a wait and see philosophy like they did with Infestor and Queen buff.

Racewise its so stack it just isn't fair. But skillwise, this is a great MLG to watch


This really can't be pointed out enough -- I feel like this is a constant problem for MLG, it always has the top terrans and like 1 or 2 good players form the other races (well at least they used to have that problem this is the first MLG i've watched in about 9 months).

I have a great deal of respect for Innovation's insane multitasking, but I'll admit I get kind of frustrated when a player as good as Leenock can't even take a game because there is no way to defend everywhere at once, and there seems to be no way to stop the drops.

I'm confident the Zergs will find a way eventually, but this series was brutal.


Maybe the reason is Leenock is just not good enough, Life probably can do better.

Oh boy here it comes.

Prepare for another "Terran are just better players thread" soon.

Okay, I'm alright now with Thorzain spoiling my clean prediction record, just get me Jjakji vs Rain in there.

Protoss seemed well represented, at least initially.
? Bear in mind Seed, Hero, got knocked out. Parting/MC/Rain are still in the tournament.

Zerg, Leenock and Life are pretty two of the top Zergs no? Sure it would be nice to have Hyun in the mix as well, but Zerg doesn't seem to be doing well in HOTS, hence all the balance whining.

That's coz a few top Zergs were busy prepping for a certain WoL finals

Funny the effects of previous terran nerfs weeded out the weak ones. So now when the game is more balanced these Korean terrans are destroying everyone. Terrans are so op again that foreigners can't win with them still. lol

User was warned for this post
SC2 was doomed from the start.

There is a reason they are not here. They got slaughtered by Terrans in the qualifiers.

Because they were busy winning in wol tourneys instead of practicing HotS, and oh the same shit doesn't work anymore on this game.

Leenock was said to be very bad at HotS in the clanwar vs Prime because he got no practice on it.

I really think they should stop making mines hit air...
Then mutalisk can actually herras again with less risk.
As it is now zerg can't herras at all because it's too risky while terran has NO RISK at all with their drops

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.


Because of medivac boost, placing spores in the path of medivacs is totally useless. They can just run away and go drop somewhere else.

This ability is fun to watch, but it'll be hard to balance obviously...

Scourge-like units could be a good fix.


Scourge would break all ZvT and ZvP, probably.

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.

TB's point stands.

It doesn't, all the best Zergs but Life and Leenock lost in qualifiers


Life and Leenock are only at MLG because they placed in the Top 4 at MLG Fall Championship - they did not participate in the qualifiers.

QUalifiers played on a patch with way different balance though.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

you are underestimating the amount of effort it takes to defend multiple queued up drops.

Flash doesn't play the bio/mine style that Bogus and Last used and plays more passively. Ret still has a chance.


I guess you didn't see the showmatch Life vs FlaSh @ the HotS launch party?

Flash made mines in that game, and in the first couple of games against Bly, but he still plays bio tank. He uses mines just for support, doesn't make a lot. It's different from the bio/mine style that I'm talking about.
