Yeah they arent all like DRG v Inno... but still, I like that 'on edge' style as opposed to the feeling i get when swarm hosts smash into collosus beams

HerO vs Jaedong, HerO vs Hyun at IEM Especially HerO vs Jaedong, that game had about a million tech switches without ever remaining on a single one. No breathing allowed, constant fights, constant decisions on the fly. And sick control. damn man i think HerO vs. HerO is the best game of all time
But that would be a onesided slaughter in favor of HerO :/
Maybe it's my protoss bias but those games were just the most all around well played PvZ from a protoss perspective I've seen in HotS against good opposition. Hyun kind of got wrecked though.

Pfft, good tosses would start to go full Ryung and just snipe all the bases zerg tries to take behind the turtling, while poking away with deathball and expanding themselves with transition into whatever.

Oh well, just noticed that now it seems like we end up in a circle:
jjakji>soO>Soulkey>Rain>Trap>jjakji.

That's a lot like saying "good zergs will deny expos, micro around mines and set up good flanks for each engage". The best of the best for each match up can be fun, but a lot of the time, ZvP isn't for me, and ZvT isn't for you. Seeing a Zerg crumble before collossus/voidray just gets irritating at some point.

I'm pretty sure I saw it happen twice recently, I can't for the life of me remember what games though.

You just described the HerO vs Hyun series. Except there wasn't much deathballing until the very end.

what i meant as deathball was the force that would be enough to kill locusts before they kill everything :D

Oh you mean swarmhosts. Well, those are just a design failure. You play against them by not fighting them while abusing mobility and hoping zerg doesn't build static defense at home to deal with warp prisms, gets baited into a basetrade or for some reason loses all their swarmhosts carelessly. If you don't do that, they get BLs and infestors and static defense and vipers and then you can either wait for 2 hours until you finally die or leave the game right away.

Try the better one: since noone goes SHs on maps other than Akilon games may as well end up with you containing zerg that went SH turtle on 4 bases, while taking the map and doing complete-skytoss transition. BANG.

Nobody just goes swarmhosts though, they transition into them after creating a scenario where exactly that can't happen.
