Zerg winning against Terran depends on the Terran not playing as well.
Jaedong is playing well, though.

Mines are just too efficient period. The fact that they cost almost as much as a baneling. Multi-use. active target. You can't ignore the math.


The mines are not the issue, when are people finally going to open there eyes and see that it's the bio?

The mine hits, sure whatever and mines are actually useless for mech, but bio has and probably always will be terribly over efficient because of the game being designed around it.

The mine gets nerfed and nothing changes, bio will still be too good.


Blame mules and scans. Mules means more bio, scans can't be killed (unlike overseers) nullifying bane landmines.


No, don't blame mules and scans, blame the real issue. Bio. Bio being as good as it is kills all hope of ever having diverse Terran matchups.


It isn't just bio being good, it's also Mech being bad.

Terrans don't have a choice. Mech isn't a viable alternative for Terrans that even wanted to play something else.


I'd kill to see Tanks become the standard again instead of Mines. In fact, I'd love to see Tanks in every matchup... I love Tanks, okay? >.>


Never going to happen.

Mines even if they were nerfed are just designed in such a way that they overlap and surprass the role of Siege Tanks in the match up.

As long as the widow mine exists, Marine/Tank in TvZ is never coming back.



Uhhhh, I go marine/marauder/tank whenever zerg goes roach/hydra, and if the game goes long enough, extra factories for tanks. Personally I struggle with 4m against roach/hydra, you need tanks for that.

If roach/hydra becomes standard we will see it come back.
But how to get that working without gutting speedivacs is beyond me.


No we wont.

Bio handles Roach/Hydralisk just fine.

Roach/Hydralisk is weaker vs drops than the current standard and doesn't trade all THAT efficiently with Bio to make up for that weakness.

There's a reason we're not seeing it often as is.

I play a lot of roach hydra on ladder, and yes, you're almost forced to make tanks against this compo.

Somewhere in the world, just a few minutes ago Artosis muttered "okay fine, I guess Jaedong has this one".
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
