I find it funny that WCS has somehow done it and improved EU/NA play

LCS take notes


eu/na don't need to be better

they just need to be separated from koreans and chinese for 99% of the year so fans believe there is a chance they'll win. then they don't. then there is a break, the hopes are lifted again, and then crushed.

it is a good system

people enjoyed wcs 2012 as well

By people you mean Europeans. The North American WCS was terrible.

Anyone else remember Insur? Seemed like he was getting good then bang he is gone

Who the fuck is Insur

American Protoss player that made WCS Finals in 2012. Seemed like he was up and coming but I know he was in school and I think he stopped playing competitively idk

If you play greedy against Huk, you deserve what's coming to you.

im pretty sure if they 3hatch in gsl all the time its not because they dont have to deal with the Hukkernaut lol. jaedong just didnt play well enough

I don't understand how people can like this and call this "exciting aggressive swarm host play".

no one does? lol? snute has different SH styles. game 1 was mass hydra with a muta switch and a lot of aggression. against the other hero at DH/IEM a while back he used upgraded lings. no one calls mass spore crawling aggressive or exciting.

even the swarm host styles in g1/2 is awful though. don't act like g3 is somehow different enough that you can't generalize over these games

The first game was very exciting to a lot of us. You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean all SH games are bad for everyone


Guys I have Stockholm Syndrome



They were so boring I didn't even notice the difference.

No but really, apart from unexciting dynamics of the games (which is debatable maybe, but I don't know how someone can enjoy watching 100000 locusts that you can't even be microed all that much..), games involving SH mostly tend to just show one player slowly dying for an hour. Nothing feels exciting when dragged out for so long.

The first game and the second game (untill the final 10-15 mins) had loads of repositiong and aggressive swarmhost moves. It's really tactical. Locust still need to be controlled correctly to be usefull. Splitting them up, send them different paths etc. The last game was well, Snute said himself boring.



This is however difficult to observe/acknowledge, I would probably need to learn to play Zerg SH style to really appreciate even those 2 games, which you say were good.

Sorry for quoting you as a placeholder for everybody else downvoting this game, but your comment sums up pretty well what people are complaing about without actually taking into account what happened in this game.
Normally, I'd agree that swarmhost games are boring as hell, but this game had quite a few features that made it fall far from the ordinary.
First of all, there is a huge difference between SH games on 2 player maps and 4 player maps. On a smaller map, SH basically cut off any opportunies toss has: any mobility on the map is killed for P since SH can control the whole middle; taking expos becomes more or less impossible since locust can reach any expo after the 2nd from a decent position in the middle; harrassment is difficult since there really are not many places to attack.
On that huge map though, Protoss had all options available to him. This made for exciting multiplaced action all over the map, which snute had to deflect with a lot of multitasking and split-second decision making since his SH were not in the capable of covering such a huge terrain. At the same time Snute also went for a huge gamble going up to 113 drones in order to execute his plan while being in danger of getting killed by harrassment or a deathball twice the size of his own army.
Focused creep spread while under constant harrassment, a fairly good retainment of his corruptor count and the final switch from basically full economy to full army, which can be seen as a late game all-in, was something you do not see that often.

TL;DR
SH ZvP tends to be boring as hell, but this game was far from the ordinary and simply a delight to watch.

getting pretty pissed at redeye's constant shitting on swarmhost play. that series was very intense and had very few moments that could be labeled as dull by anybody trying to follow the thread of each players thoughts, y'know ... actually paying attention.

How is this intense if the biggest bullshit army from both races clashes? "Back and forth" didnt exist at 3rd map.

at what point are we going to stop trying to argue with people about whether theyre allowed to enjoy something?

caster are also not allowed to shitting that?

What?
