Whining about Protoss or balance will be more harshly moderated from page 90 onwards. Before making comments on race picking, refer to MLG's rules |

Unless the player who's down in supply has an upgrade advantage. Then it gets interesting. But this was as straightforward as a Roach war gets.

Calm down it's one game. And she all-ined and DRG didn't respond corrently.
If they play 100 PvZ's I guarantee Scarlett will lose 99 of them

Yeah that last fight was just a formality, 30 supply up with 2+ vs 1+, even with a concave you can just bulldoze in, clear out some roaches and then increment forward as you kill stuff. It's only when you add in hydras and infestors that it gets a little interesting.

My god that was brutal to watch.
