During the MLG Winter Exhibition, the fallen from Round 1 of the 2013 MLG Winter Championship have a been a granted second chance. This is the consolation bracket that will be broadcasted every day over the next few weeks. Tune in and watch every match at www.majorleaguegaming.com and on Twitch.TV.
Its gonna be really tense ! Goswer seems to be a bit weak against P tho (adding to that the fact that P is fucking imba right now ) But nothing big,should be an interesting match !
The more I watch HotS and the more I find Swarm Hosts useless. Players use them only in ZvP and even in this match up they seem to work one time out of five or six.

far from useless, tons of people in the help me protoss thread complain about 2 base swarm host being really hard to beat. They are however mirco intensive and you cant just let them die unbrowwed like goswer has the first 2 games

It's zerg players using them improperly or not transitioning correctly or timely enough. They are super good if the zerg knows how to use them and transition properly. As of right now it feels like zergs make to many sh, don't use them the best and don't transition until way to late.

I'm not talking specifically about this match but during the different tournaments I watched so far (MLG, Gamers Assembly, online cups), it's very very rare to see them used correctly at a high level. Usually they go mutas then switch to BL or ultras.

You know in RL people would be pretty mad the MMA fight went one punch lol
Yes, I know it can be, I saw Ret using them really efficiently and the compo SH/Corruptors can be very strong. The problem is that when the Protoss get an observer, the colo range can easily burn the SH. Zerg should add overseers to their compo to snipe observers like they do against terran to detect mines.

You must not have ever seen them in a TvZ. Good players can use them to trigger widow mines and win in a war of attrition.
And this last game was obviously not going to be an exciting display of them since Goswser was 2-4 bases down for most of the game. Edit: meaning all he could do was play defense

I'm not saying they're useless, and I've seen them in TvZ. Still underwhelming in my book :[ Zerg should be all about high speed and clash, that's why I can't stand those slow little bugs who travel 2 screens range only to self-explode like their dummy siblings 25 sec earlier. The SH is a terrible mother.
