Fungal needs to become relevant again.

Such a bizarre conclusion.

We had a lot of discussions in the designated balance forums pre widowmine nerf, now that it's been a little bit and terrans aren't doing as horribly as I thought they would (and I assume you thought they would) vs zerg do you think that bio +thor and hellbat is as viable as biomine, or is it just zergs needing to figure the comp out?

So far it works fine, but I'm unsure how it does vs the mass mutas no/late Hive style since there is way less anti-air.

I sometimes look at the games played and wonder if too many mutas vs those styles are self defeating. The damage output vs ground units seems incredible, and so many marines are left over to fight the mutas. I guess it needs more time to settle itself down.

Nah the most boring thing that could happen would be a herO vs sOs finals with either of them winning. But they are both cool so I wouldn't hate it too much


herO has never won anything like this before, he has 25k CAREER earnings so how would that be boring? He deserves it. TaeJa has won so many different things he is by far the 1 person I don't want to win this.

sOs at least plays creatively, but him winning Blizzcon was unexpected and it would be nice to see him win another to shut up all the haters. And Polt winning would just be awesome because he's Polt. So no you are wrong.

Yes exactly good job you can read.

Lol you can read my previous post of "it's opinion so neither of us are wrong". You seem a bit behind Yorkie in the reading department.

Honestly that was incredibly dissapointing from life, his micro was back in shape but he kept making such silly decisions over and over, we saw the constant run by metagame like 3/4 months ago, and it never worked there so I don't know why he's trying it now.

Undermaking banelings, suiciding banelings, not making mutas for no real reason (when muta/ling/bling is almost indisputably the best comp until ultra/infestor comes out and even then it's pretty fucking good). Ugh, really disappointing to see him get a pretty sizable lead every game then throw it away. Should have been a 3:0 tbh

it's his style so you can't ask him to change that.

I can ask him to run by into targets that are actually worth hitting, like production though. Honestly his style is self defeating

He did some pretty good damage with it. I'm not sure how familiar you are with BW but as an example: Bisu is known for his use of dts and corsairs. Even after his opponent know his style and adapt to it(spores+hydras to defend), they will eventually suffer damage with it. In starcraft, all it takes is for you to not notice a runby, drop etc... and you can lose quite a lot of infrastructure, workers and such. I blame life losing for his mistakes and less so for the runbys even if some weren't very cost efficient.

Throwing away banelings for SCVs is the dumbest "style" you can ever have. He will never beat a decent Terran if he keeps doing that. Everyone has basically figured out that the more muta heavy compositions are x10 better than the heavy ling style. 35 Mutas is way more of a threat than 80 lings that can die in 5 seconds. And he was consistently banking like 3k gas all game he could've easily cut back on the lings and made more banelings/mutas/bases in general. Just my opinion anyways and I think the recent ZvT's have shown that's true.

I wasn't actually commenting on the banelings aspect but more so on the constant ling runbys. He's been doing it since he came onto the scene(or at least GSL and other tourneys) so I don't see why he should stop. In those games, the runbys did a lot of damage. I think Taeja needs to be given a lot of credit for minimizing the damage and if it wasn't for life detonating his banes in games 1 and 2, then this could've been his series..

I think the problem here is that bunkers are free, that is how taeja had so much money at the end because he could build free bunkers so he didnt ever lose money, and the compund interest later on allowed him to constantly build
