I cant help but feel absolutely disgusted when I see hero play today. I usually like him a lot but i dunno, this is such abusive play... oh well I hope jd can scrape by yet again.

oh come on.


Yeah Hero has always played an abusive style , but people just notice it , when he wins a lot in a row with it .

Oh for fucks sake. HerO doesn't play an abusive style have you never watched him? You think he is at the forefront of the soul train or the blink all in? He isn't.


today he is.

Against Jaedong he's done it once, therefore he is the cheesiest player on Earth

well he was one of the inventors of the composition and mass infestor play. but he also was one of the few zergs who could smack others around without BL infestor.

Blord infestor was known to be broken before ipl3, game was just a hell of a lot harder to get to that point

gold bases, really?does blizzard never give up?


This map was made by a community member and was one of the finalists for red bull's team liquid map contest, and ESL got to choose the map pool for the tournament, though yeah it's a ladder map so it's a popular choice. Blizz had nearly zero part in this aside from creating Starcraft 2 and the option for gold bases to be implemented.

The map was made with gold bases in it?Oh.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

what if hero just takes both gases, builds sentrys and takes his natural as 3rd base?^^


You've never played Stuchiu eh? :D


Hahahahahaha, if there was another Zerg as insane as I was in ZvP, I've never met him.

are you sure you're more insane than suhosin?

I think Zergs are going to need to send a drone out to block protos from expanding to the gold on this map. You could go banelings like Ret said but thats still dicey.

My teammate Karpfen is up there. The guy succesfully made me ragequit sc2 and ts within about an hour of joining the team cuz 10pool speed into 2base sh.

Stephano in his prime just did his own fucking thing and made it work. He probably would have double expanded to both golds and maxed on Roaches at 8 minutes or some crazy shit.


Good thing he retired so his fans can believe stuff like that.
Stephano was no doubt the best foreigner but he was in his prime when zerg was also in his prime.
And in GSL I remember him being tossed around by Innovation at the time terran had hardest time against zerg.

Is the 12 minute max out now blord infestor?


You can't 12 minute max out against gate expos with MsC. That build was predicated on fast 3 base against FFE. There's a reason it died out in HotS.


you can 12 minute max out against gate expo with MsC.

the maxout against a passive protoss who took a 3rd was 10:20, with speed, +1 attack and some scouting lings in earlygame built.
yep, that happened. but its not what i meant with stephano holding this allin.

ppl seem to have forgotten how all premier tournaments were basically immortal allin vs stephano :D
ye just knew exactly when to stop droning and building units, how to delay protoss, bait forcefield, flank perfectly and focusfire with groups of roaches.

this being told, to be able to do that, you need to KNOW what comes - pretty impossible in the current metagame.

Stephano was actually known for his mass ling into infestor/ultra and roach max type things. I really don't know why people are retroactively associating him with Infestor/BL. Sure he used it, at the point where every Zerg was, but it was never his signature play.

In ZvP he'd bl infestor a lot. He liked his ultra first in ZvT tho.
