Missed the Stephano - Mana games. Was it just another case of Stephanoach too stronk?


Mana suiciding units into defensive zerg in game 1.

Mana not being able to keep up with two pronged attacks in game 2.

Not very interesting games, pretty easy wins for Stephano.

Both viOLet and HyuN have fairly similar styles, but viOLet is going for the more aggressive style, while HyuN is teching and being passive.

It has nothing to do with Stephano. SH vs protoss is usually this way. Sucks tbh, but blizz is 'happy' with SH.


David Kim specifically stated that he was not a fan of passive swarm host use. If Stephano's SH style gets popular you can bank on Blizzard making some changes.

Sure, they will make another passive unit for P and T that could counter static SH, thats how they balance this game...


That wouldn't make any sense. Making new units is way more expensive than balancing the current units; there's virtually no chance Blizzard would introduce new units until the next expansion. Besides, the problem at that point is more that the swarm host doesn't fit David's vision of a more raider-type unit that can be repositioned constantly. I would expect that Blizzard reduces their burrow time and makes up for that by also reducing the lifespan of the locusts. This allows the swarm hosts to move around faster, but would reduce the range of the locusts and allow for closer enemy engagements. This would be particularly effective if they kept the cooldown higher, so that even with the upgrade there's a hole between the locusts' spawn times. So many things Blizzard could do without resorting to making a new unit.


thats actually... quite good way to balance them, it would be a better unit and a would use a lot more "skill", and with a reduced life time it means a higher risk/reward unit, but they should also reduce the time since the first batch comes out and the second, theres virtually no gap between them besides destroying them all, a little gap would give good players with a great sense to take advantage of it, while "turtle" players would be in the same position

One change they have to make, even though I hate the SH(and technically this is a buff) swarm hosts should be able to walk over locust. It's just insanely stupid to see swarm hosts blocked by their own locusts.

Yeah, doing that and reducing the burrow time and burrow space so there's not always 1-2 SHs that don't burrow if you try to reposition. Nerf dmg/hp on locusts to compensate.

Naniwa, Lucifron etc. Zergs are better in the foreign scene but its not like there's huge swathes of them compared to the other races. Take away Stephano and TLO thats only 2 players and does anyone still think it?

HyuN too solid at Roach/Hydra/Infestor play, guess he felt he had to make-up for losing the GSL finals with R/H/I.

Eh there were a fair number of excellent foreign protoss who had a reputation for working hard and traveling to Korea to practice. Ofc while the balance claim has some obvious merit, it sounds like a lot of the toss players have been playing poorly.

Mn haven't realyl watched any HSC yet. Sounding like the play is meh.
