Random is clearly UP. Map hackers rarely get number 1 on ladders and most of them can't even make GM. Clearly, map hacks need buffs, too.

It isn't a very common and more a fringe strategy. But it seems Random Zerg loves to do it.

Didn't see games, but hard to blame any toss for losing to balloon. It's a waste of time playing vs random as Toss. Hardly a real game or worth practicing. Unfortunate for pros if balloon ends up in more tournaments.

Random is fun, pros can adapt.


Yes, adapt to starting off every game at a disadvantage and with an inferior build. Yeah, maybe if they're playing amateurs or lesser skilled players... Maybe they can adapt to playing against maphackers too. Doesn't mean it's fair. Surprised anyone practices against random, as it's so rare to face them in tournaments.


It doesn't seem like you get much of your "inferior build" going before you realise what race your opponent is.

I can't see it being that big of a deal. It's not like you find out what race they are at the 10min mark, and if you do, its your own fault.

Is someone seriously complaining about Random being unfair?

You mean you DON'T think the least played option in the game with the least representation and literally no tournament results is the best?

Massing Ling/bling/muta is exactly what the matchup is about for Zerg (unless you came from the house of the gods, TSL)
