blizzard needs to revert the spore crawler change from early HotS. even if it means nothing but muta vs. muta, that's still an improvement.
I agree that muta vs muta is more exciting to watch but back and forth was very rare because more mutas means easy win. roach vs roach is in back and forth scenario much much better.
I don't get why Koreans only ever make roaches in ZvZ. In situations like this, it seems like hydras would make a huge difference and they both have the bank for it

roaches are much more forgiving. If your attack with hydra failed one time, you are pretty much dead. fungals sucks in HotS.

They believe in a thing called roach. They wouldn't want ZvZ to become more interesting than a one unit matchup. Though I have to admit, this wasn't the most boring game I've seen.
I hate that Artosis always mention that 10pool banes doesn't work against hatch first only because he saw Leenock defending it once with hatch first one year ago...

roaches are much more forgiving. If your attack with hydra failed one time, you are pretty much dead. fungals sucks in HotS.
But when you're in the GSL semis you should be at a point where you don't have to rely on being able to makes mistakes. A 50/50 roach/hydra mix beats pure roaches extremely hard in anything resembling a close engagement

Problem is, unless you can pretty much kill the pure Roach player with the Roach-Hydra, the opponent is able to meat Hydra tech with Roach-Bane (and possibly Roach-Infestor? Haven't seen those 2 comps face off.)

You'll usually mix in a few infestors with roach/hydra, just 4 or 5 perhaps. This makes roach/bane completely useless because the banes will just get fungaled if they're not spread and killed if they are spread.

Well, if you're giving the opponent time to establish 2 different techs on top of the Roaches, while you're neither teching up nor pressuring, you have only yourself to blame.

If you look at game 1, True was floating 6000/2000 at some point which is more than enough for a single roach max. If he held a good "defensive" position on soO's side of the map, he could at least have made the tech without being in any real danger and then looked into applying it if it made sense later on

soO is insanely good at all things ZvZ. His record is getting pretty ridiculous.

Not that extreme, unless TLPD isn't updated (looks like it is).
Since March, his record is as follows:

I mean yeah he seems more vulnerable in short series, but the way he made short work of Solar last week and handled the first two games in this series were incredibly impressive.

Speed banes for fighting or for killing drones? The second could be pretty good but the first can easily go wrong

It's important to note that not everything is in the record. Solar never looked like he even had a chance, for example. soO's level of play is what's impressing me, rather than just his record.

I think T34 is widely regarded as the top tank for that era (I personally like Panther better tho)
It certainly wasn't later in the war but the T34 was in the beginning. Technologically the Panther was far superior but the T34 was much easier to mass produce and sheer numbers overwhelmed the Germans. War is about economics but as you are a SC fan I shouldn't have to tell you that.

Soo is easily the best zerg playing SC2 right now. Lamentably unappreciated, insanely skilled. He just needs to stop doing dumb things in ZvP and he would be a complete package.
Well, that was a pretty crazy couple of hours for me. Dodgin, I have your passion stored safely whenever you want to come by and pick it up. Everyone else, hope you enjoyed the semis, and I'll see you in a few hours for MLG.
soo is not among my favorite players but i hope he wins the gsl finals. he's really good and consistent being in 3 straight finals. i hope he finally gets it this time.
The way I figured, Kong was for someone without a premier title, whereas MK and JD both have at least one a piece. Then again Yellow has a shitload of 1st place finishes in the events/league thing? Sorry guys I didn't follow Brood War.

So what is a Kong?
To truly grok being kong they not only have to have a tonne of 2nd place finishes, no 1st place finishes, and are honestly the "best in the world" where you have no idea why they can't win just 1 fucking trophy.
MKP, for example, is a terrible Kong since he is too swingy.
Fantasy was a true Kong because he could never win the title despite being an absolute monster every time he played.

The way I figured, Kong was for someone without a premier title, whereas MK and JD both have at least one a piece. Then again Yellow has a shitload of 1st place finishes in the events/league thing? Sorry guys I didn't follow Brood War.
So what is a Kong?
To truly grok being kong they not only have to have a tonne of 2nd place finishes, no 1st place finishes, and are honestly the "best in the world" where you have no idea why they can't win just 1 fucking trophy.
MKP, for example, is a terrible Kong since he is too swingy.
Fantasy was a true Kong because he could never win the title despite being an absolute monster every time he played.
A premier title? lol Here comes that argument again and just because you have some title doesn't mean you don't fall into the category.
