So they play differently as well. I'd agree, if I didn't see Code S zergs make 10 hosts, walk them off creep, root them unsupported outside the protoss third and start sending waves, only to panic when the protoss goes, "oh, free units" and walks out and kills them. I mean, Starbuck took down First pretty handily in a long macro game where he was way behind, because he was patient and ultra-conservative and just bleed him dry. I think Korean zergs are better at everything, except specifically defensive host games against protoss. | ||

I think Korean zergs are better at everything, except specifically defensive host games against protoss. First isn't that great though. I am just thinking that the reason why they act like that, or some sometimes do (I think usually they do hit-and-run tactics that are both more interesting to watch and maybe better against a better opponent) is because Korean Protoss play differently than in the EU. If someone moves out at other times, harasses better, moves their army better then you won't get to play swarmhost in the same way as you could in the EU. But mostly my argument is based off of the difference in BL/Infestor between EU and Korea where we saw similar games from EU players with BL/Infestor as we now see with SH. It is more defensive and more conservative. Even in the heyday of BL/Infestor the Korean metagame was more interesting. | ||
