But I think I had enjoyed it better than seeing Leenock surrender before even starting the game by going for the worst unit comp you ever could imagine on that map. Leenock wouldn't have gone for it if he didn't have faith it his strategy. That goes for all players who play in GSL. Let's say it works 70% of the time for him in practice, then this was one of the 30%. No strat is going to be 100%, just because he lost doesn't mean it would every game. This is their most important tournament, they are going to go for the strats they think has the higher chance of winning. | ||

But yeah, I'd hate playing SH too, just like I hate playing mech. He did earlier, but lately he just completely ignored the existence of SwarmHosts. At least at ASUS ROG he got crushed by Protoss, but seemed like he didn't even think about using SwarmHosts. So... I'm not too positive about Life's chances in Code S if he sticks to that :-/ | ||

Do what you have to to win, people played BL/infestor for almost 2 years in WoL even though it was like gonorrhea in the brain. You forget Leenock and DRG though, even at the height of BL/Infestor they still went mass muta in almost all MUs and made them work (not all the time mind you). Thank goodness they did as well, made most of that era somewhat bearable, I also gained a ton of respect and love for Leenock and DRG back then. | ||

I thought for a moment that there were 100% strategies. My point is the map horribly designed for Roach/Hydra since it's close to impossible to use a max out army well. It is so hard to have all units fighting since there are small chokes and paths everywhere that does not allow for arcs. There are no wide open areas. Meanwhile this suits Swarm Host play perfectly. | ||

We have heard players say in interviews how they planned a certain build but when they sat in the booth they couldnt help themselfs from going back to their own style. I think Nestea said this once It was Nestea saying "In practise I make Infestors vs Terran but when I am in the booth I just makes Mutas, I cannot explain it". | ||

 Hopefully SuperNova wins, else I can very well see 2 P's advancing. Unless a miracle happens in this game, which shouldn't. | ||
