Of course the obvious route is to make siege tanks viable in the match up, especially since they are by far the most interesting unit Terrans have and opens up a great deal more strategies. ZvT suffers from a similar problem in that the zerg is forced into a composition by the strength of certain Terran units (namely widow mines). However there is something of a balance in this in that the widow mines are forced into the composition due to the strength of mutalisks. The cheese isn't too effected and there's still a ton of openings in the matchup. The same thing needs to happen there - widow mines and mutalisks need a reasonable nerf and then the matchup can start opening out again. | ||

 Soulkey vs soO Polar NightSoulkey Spawns South SoO Spawns North Both going for 15hatch Soulkey goes 16Gas then 16Pool SoO goes 16SP then 16Gas Both players start speed at the same time No, SoO cancels his Speed and makes 2 more queens and a SC Soulkey puts down a bane nest at his natural Evo Roach warren and queen block at the natural of SoO 2 banes and 12lings being made for Soulkey Soulkey now producing 12 roaches SoO miles in front with drone count but hasn't got the army out....yet 10 roaches on its way for SoO +1 range attack nearly done as well, his lair complete and roach speed also halfway done Soulkey goes for the push! 1 of the 2 banes sniped straight away, 4 queens transfusing SoO roaches...he should hold! Yeah he does relatively comfortably. Soulkey backs away 20 supply down and 6 drones behind. +1 attack is done and he pushes into Soulkey natural Soo does damage, but he has to back out whilst his other roaches are streaming down the map SoO starts +2 ranged attack and Soulkey begins roach speed SoO is pushing 2 queens down the map sniping overlords as well as he prepares to push the natural again of Soulkey In he goes and gets a nice concave! This one is OVER! No contest with +1 vs 0-0-0 Soulkey 0-1 soO | ||
