Terran 2-1s Korean zerg, goes 1 up in winners match and loses the next two. Token protoss in group goes 1-4 and terran loses the rematch 0-2. This sounds vaguely familiar

i didn't see the jaedong game from earlier, but i assume he just executed it poorly


I think the real problem with the roach attacks so far today is that they haven't had a good transition other than 'try again with more roaches'. If that is the way you are going to play, your first push has to do big damage and is just a huge gamble and I don't like it.

what? roach/hydra is good and hyun does it against terran and wins. i'm fairly certain i saw life do it against innovation at dreamhack too (he lost, but no style wins EVERY time...)

the issue is that ling/bling/muta is just still really good too and usually easier to win with. but that doesn't make roach or roach/hydra weak


I didn't say they can't be good or can't work or be powerful, but if you are playing with no transition at all and are banking on your push doing huge damage, I don't like it - I think it is just boring unless you are going to try and add a few other units into your comp like vipers or hydras. That's all I'm saying. It's not about what is good and what isn't. I just don't like it.

Edit: saw your edit, we basically agree on bad builds being bad. haha

It's obviously because Darkhorse said he was going to support Heart

i agree, the curse is real

Let's test a variation of it, where it reverses when I agree with him.
I'm now rooting for Heart.


Is your Heart in it though?

Mostly.

ooh, i missed the part where you were talking about just today. well yeah, a badly executed build is bad. but roach timings aren't bad. sometimes shit doesn't work :p

Yeah, but if that comp is to work once both players start maxing out, you really need vipers and infestors as well as a high hydra count. The role of the roach in that comp is to tank damage for the valuable units. Going pure roach after the timing is never going to work, the power of the build resides in the tech units and the casters.

yeah i didn't read it clearly at first. but still, eh. it's just a miscalculation. sometimes you think you have a kill move if you reinforce ASAP, so you yolo it. if you're wrong you end up looking real bad

i agree on the general point that "macro mass roach = bad" though

This is looking like HyuN's old school HotS ZvT style with Roach/Bane.
