Snute is the best SH player in the world, and it's not even close. You can't play vs him like you do vs other zergs, because he does not overextend and he does not get impatient or frustrated.

Stephano swarmhosting turned himself into a heel. Please don't do the same Snute.

I wondered why people just dont go mass gateway colli vs swarm hosts.
Seems to be doing better for herO atm ? or am is that just silly?

It's too cost-inefficient. You have to burn through a ton of gateway units to get to the swarm hosts. With vipers, fungals and static d it's almost impossible.

where are the "Lol Taeja rekt ran from korea cuz so bad xD" chanters now?

both games were good games, where both players played good. no matter who wins the third game though, we will hear chants about the other being "totally rekt" "no match man" "is this even kespa?/foreign korean so bad lolol"

Here I am. Taeja ran from Korea, not because he is so bad, but because he is not good enough to consistently earn money like in NA...

Still looked close, but herO can't do anything against hosts with gateway units

Snute should have put more swarmhosts to seige herO's new mining base instead of defending

Yeah i guess that is a good reason, but as you can see 3-3-3 gateway units pretty strong xD
