Actually widow mine friendly fire and banelings were the two quickest ways to clean up large chunks of terran bio. 3-3 marines will rip apart lings and mutas without much of a hassle.
I did not really say anything about what stuff was supposed to do, but just what it actually did/does. Friendly fire mines were a fairly big part of a highly skilled zerg player's ZvT. It's a beneficial change for zerg to be sure, but zergs need to adapt to it also. It has turned the fights more into slugfests than the explosive super fast engagements we had pre-patch. It takes some getting used to.

Seems like Zerg players are doing quite okay adapting to Terran units being weaker 
They seem to do.. Exactly the same thing! Just that is is better O.o
Its like saying a Sprinter getting steroids need to adapt that he can runt 100 Meters a two seconds faster suddenly, lulz.

But that's not the case though. It looks like they are doing the same thing because they are playing the same style with the same units, but the dynamics of the engagements have changed, and if you look closely at replays you can see numerous small changes in how both terran and zerg move and control their units now that the mine is less scary for both parties.
It may not be very obvious, but it's there. We need an all zerg Meta episode for this, get Ret, Scarlett, TLO and Jaedong on there. JD doesn't need to say anything, just stare into the camera to scare the trolls away.

Expecting an autowin against InnoVation because he lost one BO1 is a bit much.

I don't expect him to all-kill. I was just being cheeky.

How in the world is a mine not costefficient when it oneshots a mutalisk? Or when it kills 4+ ling/bling?
All of that without the guarantee that the mine dies afterwards, so it might get another shot off, eat baneling hits or at least tank some damage, while it has already killed more than it cost.
That is costefficient. It just may not be enough if mines are costefficient when all your stuff gets run over, your timings don't work and you have to play 1,2,3 bases down all game because of mutas running rampant.
If you don't understand that costefficiency =/= winning, then I cannot help you realize it.

A mine is not costefficient when it oneshots a mutalisk if it kills some marines as well!

In that case you should tell your marines to stop trying to ride the mutalisks. I know it looks fun but you have to be this tall to go on the ride.

Wow well done, Azubu! Congrats

Well that was unexpected. Grats Azubu.

I actually thought that RagnaroK had a good shot at taking down Bogus, but 4-1 Ajobo?? Not expected

Why unexpected? The PL format seems to favor toawards Azubu's line-up. It'd be unexpected if Azubu still manages to win an all-kill though.

You can't all-kill in a ProLeague format
