I can't remember how moving out of a darkswarm suddenly made those units do damage to the zerg units in the dark swarm. Not too mention that the other defiler spells were much stronger against bioplay and therefore the defiler much more available, no matter if it had blinding cloud or dark swarm. | ||

It's true that TvZ was imbalanced toward zerg in WoL, but it really seems now that zerg haven't found any solution to play against a macro game against bio+mine, and most of wins in ZvT against a macro opening from terran come from cheese and some variation of roach bust, baneling bust or Nyddus. GSTL(TvZ : 30-16) or OSL (15-6) stats are clearly showing how much zerg are having a hard time, maybe there is a solution which is not to flip a coin and doing different all in every ZvT, but no one has found it yet. what made bw beatiful was that there were always some OP units like defiler(but not broken op), so ppl developed strategies and adopted their gameplay against it, i like that sc2 is moving towards that since HoTs, plz no patching every small op unit that arnt even broken like WoL | ||

Vipers are of little/no use against 4M, the gas is better spent on banes/mutas/ultras or broods. | ||

Game 2 the roach timing hit when shield,stim and +1 attack had all finished already. Roaches just don't do well against marines anymore at that point thus soulkey was basically lost, especially since innovation's hellion harass was quite succesfull too. Game 3 I didn't see everything but just the end it looked like innovation just micro'd better too. Overall though I do think the stats show T doing slightly better but haven't seen anything post the hellbat nerf, banshee buff. T probably got a fair bit weaker because of that so everything should be about fine now. I do always like small changes just to increase the variety of the games and make more interesting timings appear. ZvT is very focussed on terran just whittling down zerg who plays basically on lair tech for a long time. The tech to hive is slightly too difficult perhaps because except upgrades and ultra's which both take a really long time it doesn't offer much. Making vipers or infestors just a little more useful would smoothen out this transition and improve variety imo, perhaps with players switching it up a bit more. For example i'd like to see some minor change, like fungal preventing widow mines from burrowing (makes more sense too imo) or blinding cloud affecting widow mines. It would be great if infestors, swarm hosts or vipers got to play a more fundamental role in ZvT so we could see more interesting transitions later on. Something like the lurker or defiler from BW is missing here and while zerg has similar units in the swarm host and viper they are useless vs bio which they shouldn't be  . Blinding cloud would have been more interesting as some sort of AoE Optical Flare perhaps, it would have been usefull against bio and mech then instead of being perhaps too strong against mech and not useful at all against bio. | ||

If he's still the best player by that point, then I don't see why you would get annoyed by him winning WCS KR and WCS Season 2. Have you read the last interview? He is the definition of hardcore dedicated gamer. He only thinks about the game which is why he's sick good now.

Personally, I don't think Zerg needs a buff. Innovation didn't seem to have much units defending his expansions so if SK took a risk and harassed even just one of them with his mutas, he would've done severe eco damage which meant that Innovation wouldn't have the eco to keep up the pressure allowing SK to get the upper hand. | ||

It was simply a discussion on the games. Innovation is a great player and the discussion was a combination of what soulkey could have done + perhaps looking at Zerg detection. Nobody suggested nerfing Terran. But it is hard to deal with defended widow mines when a Terran is in a strong offensive position mostly because you can't even see them to try and kill them. Your only option is to try and set them all off first then attack but then if you miss setting 1-2 off you are in trouble. | ||

Sounds like your best solution is to prevent the terran from getting into that defense position in the first place and if you can't, have small counter attacks so that he has to leave units at home making his offensive position that much weaker. | ||
