No, ZerO played absolutely terrible.


No, the design of unit is terrible. Passive push until either side gathers critical mass to either kill locusts, or they get overwhelmed. Lurker type unit would have been much more exciting.


This. The idea of Zerg having to spawn free units that last over a certain period of time has brought us too many units that rely on this mechanic... Lurkers (or similar working mechanic) would be much more interesting, because they are also viable in lower numbers unlike swarm hosts.

I think if you look at Ina Bäckströms twitter she's employed for the show, should be clear what's going on if you search some there.

JL is more tolerable than SNM, but he seems to be similar to slow talking Tasteless with no game knowledge whatsoever. I mean getting excited that 3 phoenixes "almost" take down 1 queen...its been widely known after all these years that it takes 4 to do that in 1 lift. I appreciate the improvement over SNM, but I think PL can do better.

just get five dollar for the subscription

not like the stuff they play in the downtime is worth watching though tbh

I'd happily pay them if the service was a couple notches closer to "streaming" than "slideshow".

Free units for Zerg has thus far been a terrible idea. I agree that the Lurker would be better, but they won't want BW 2.0 for some reason. Still, the Widow Mine has made the game much more interesting and dynamic, and it's just a modified ripoff of the spider mine.

Made the game more interesting and dynamic because the spider mine was an awesome unit, kind of like the Swarm Host is boring design and doesn't really bring any emotion to the game like Brood Lords, unless they're dying.

Every one appart from Blizzard would agree with this, yet either they are to proud to admit that some BW units would have a better place in Sc2 then the current units or they really want Sc2 to be completly different and they themself enjoy static passive play. Who knows, units designers might also have gone completely try hard and crazy instead of simply looking at there pref game.

it's actually quite fun to play against. the constant stream of free units attacking you and you feel very pressured to find a way to break out the contain asap.
But it is really boring to use and watch swarm host imo

Jason Lee has pretty subpar commentary but it sounds like he gets along with Whiplash. Their dialog is pretty natural and fun.

Funny that whenever I watch proleague there is always criticism regarding the casters... Okay, I'm not a native speaker so maybe I don't realize some faults, but I personally think that when you reach a certain level of understanding of the game it's pretty hard to not find flaws in someone's casting or at least disagreeing on some points. Also keep in mind that it's also their job to make the stream appealing to a new(er) audience and to do it in a sort of exciting way...

In addition to that constructive and precise criticism helps the casters to work on their knowledge/performance and therefore make room for improvements rather then demotivating and bashing them without further explanation.

He just got it later, I've been seeing this more these days. With the Stargate opener it's not as necessary to get Warp Gate as soon as possible when the gas could be used for a faster Oracle.
