Hope Locust are at range 2 soon again xD. Well hoped that for Roaches as well hehe .

So is Stephano no Legend anymore ? or is he beyond Legendary, Seraph class now ?


The locust range isn't the issue IMO, it's their lifetime and speed. For every second the locust lives, it can advance 2.625 on creep. 25 seconds of lifetime means a locust can travel 65.625 on creep before dying. So you can burrow the swarm host way, way back and still have the locusts hit a target. Doing something like reducing or removing the Enduring Locusts upgrade would be a way more effective nerf; 10 seconds of life for the locust is equivalent to 26.25 of range lost for the swarm host on creep, as well as give the swarm host assault a cooldown hole.

Why would you ever build a single swarm host if this nerf took place?


People are just crying about Swarm Hosts cause most protoss players facing it on streamed matches play like shit.


So this is the new version of the old "Terran players are just better" xD

Stfu guys he got it solved!! SH are not the problem, all protoss just play like shit!!


Well, if you don't agree that building a full ground army vs swarm hosts and not commiting fully to an attack to just try to run the zerg over is playing like shit, then you are wrong. It's like me making only roaches against pure immortals and complaining about immortals.


Of course I don't agree lol. No tier 2 unit should force a race to go mass air or lose. That was a pretty easy one.

Also, mass roaches can win against immortals tbh. Surround and outnumber them because larva > robotics production.

You know, I'm not trying to give TLO shit after he lost in this manner, but he shouldn't have said " he wanted to play mvp ". It's either foolish to underestimate him with preparation time, or extremely cocky to want to challenge yourself in that manner in the ro8 when he could have faced someone else and had a better chance to advance to the season finals. Maybe he was just trying to act tough since the draw wouldn't change no matter what he tweeted though.

Haha, it's always nasty to have to eat your words. Some people are tongue in cheek when boasting, or kinda general in their confidence, but if you get so specific, saying Mvp is exactly who you want, saying everything is going according to your plan as you have planned to mindgame his preparation against your previous builds, and have no fear of hellbats - to then have Mvp beat you 3-0, using the same bulldoze strategy with hellbats, ouch, that's really painful. Noone would say anything if he had said he was "confident", but he ran his mouth, and it came back to bite him.

LOL. if your massing this "tier 2 unit" then your literally investing so much money into it, you might as well be going ultras. of COURSE it should trigger a massive reaction from your opponent. it would be stupid if it didn't.

I'm not too confident in ForGG's TvZ and I really like Mvp in an offline bo5+ so I think there's a pretty good chance of EU getting that Mvp vs Stephano finals. Would be fucking epic for viewer count

If you don't believe you can beat anyone you got no business as a pro gamer. I liked TLO attitude


I agree, but he said " woo I wanted Mvp " or something along those lines, not that he was confident he could win, just seems foolish to me.


Well MVP is the greatest sc2 player ever. So if TLO wanted to win WCS EU he had to beat him! I don't think TLO was arrogant I just think he was very confident and in a good mental state.

I just hope this "spanking" wont shake him to much

Never hold a player to what he says pre-game. That's just fighting words. Post-game is what matters.

The korean zergs also are adopting this ZvP late game style? If yes, Blizzard have to do something to end it. I can't imagine nothing more boring and cheap.


It will come. There has always been some swarmhost pushes to deny toss 3rd in GSL

Stephano is like cryptonite to the Protos race



Conceptually speaking, SW was designed as a supportive and situational unit, right? Now it having been used as the main force against Protoss late game.

Hellbats were designed to help Terran go mech vs Toss. They are now being used to bully Zerg senseless.

Units never really turn out exactly how the developers wanted.


Locust got changed before the open beta into a unit that works alone. So the Idea of it being supportive got scrapped long ago. Now it is a siege unit that benefits from creep spread and needs detection to deal with. (and since observers don't work because of the small detection range oracles got a range of 15 detection)

Hellbats also got changed in the beta into a unit that works well together with Medivacs (well they made them Bio so Archons smash them, since the old Hellbats were to good in TvP) and mass Medivacs are wasted supply for Mech if they are supposed to heal a unit that has to stand in the front line and will die the first.

So Blizzard was well aware what would happen. (aka they gave up on Mech in the Beta and transitioned the new units into a Bio support)
