Well it's weird. I haven't been able to watch much Starcraft for a month or so, but there's a lot of macro PvZ in Korea which seems to be a fairly equal matchup.

And another note, fuckyeah MANZUBU.

Protoss usuually tries a 2 base all in because the zerg lategame free spawning unit (BL/SH) is too powerful, we saw what happened when Hyun tried a different composition that didn't include SH, the protoss tech was too powerful and destroyed the lair army.

I fully expect SH to completely dominate tournament PvZ in a few months once zerg get sick of trying an entertaining style.


While I don't disagree, HoTS did get rid of Vortex and did give Protoss the Tempest which allows for a much more dynamic late game than what we had in WoL.

So even if Swarm Host/Broodlord becomes dominant it still isn't as bad as WoL.

If robo becomes the new norm I could see ling/muta coming back. And the upgraded lings into ultra isn't horrible either


It's not so good if the protoss never attacks into you and just turtles, the reason it was successful is because protoss didn't know what to do and would try and attack, get surrounded and die.

I don't know why do many people blame on Voids, they can be stopped by engaging propperly or abusing Fungals, specially when no Templars are near to use Feedback on that range.

It's the same when I ran into storms claiming that it is almost impossible to win without perfect micro, because my horrible positioning on the engage or counter for it.

To be honest I kind of miss Vortex. A lot. I mean MVP vs Squirtle where Squritle vortexes the battle cruisers was so amazingly sick, and the actual vortex mechanic involved some amount of skill. I just wish there was a way to remove, or significantly nerf, archon toileting and keep vortex. Because that was the really imbalanced part of vortex

Swarm Host is the exact copy of the WOL BL problem, because the Tempest does nothing vs it. It's slow and Protoss can try to get around them for a base race (just like Broodlords), but that's about it. Every other victory requires Zerg to be completely out of position and let the Protoss army blink inside and destroy them for free.

The problem with vortex was that you'd end up in situations where you had to land a perfect one or you lost. When the entire matchup hinges on one spell being cast once, it's bad for the game.
