That last game was horrible to watch. Are all PvZ games like this nowadays? :/

watch the rest of the series and then you can answer yourself with a resounding NO


Game 1 and 2 were weird allins, game 3 and 4 was swarm host. So when the two most aggressive players play, only half of the games are swarm host?

edit: Also Rain vs Soulkey was like a thousand hours of swarm host as well


Except the SH host style in game 3 was aggressive with roaches and vipers. Completely different and not at all like game 4

Some games involve swarmhosts, some don't. Some swarmhost games are dynamic and entertaining (game 3), some are a boring turtle fest (game 4).

Yes boring games exist in the pvz matchup. But you clearly know that the answer to "Are all PvZ games like this nowadays?" is no.

dammit now soulkey can't win D: his victory over rain was for nothing

didnt soulkey knock life out of GSL the season after he beat Mvp, then again the season after that?

Life struggled against Soulkey's defensive style for a long time (SK tailored it to Life during 2012 S5 in order to beat him), but crushed him 2-0 in the Taipei group stage

Well, every tournament has at least a couple Swarmhost games that clock in at ~1h gametime so yeah, PvZ is a lot like this nowadays. Less so with Life than with other Zerg players but seeing even someone like Life play 50% Swarmhost in that series is a pretty big tell.

But if half the games are 3x longer, then it's almost 100% boring!

I think every PvZ on Vaani will be like that. And PvTs and TvZs and mirrors, won't be much better. I guess complaining more won't get the map removed from the pool, and the person who put it in the map pool hung, so I'll shut up about this.

exactly. games 3 and 4 had swarm hosts in them, but if that's how you define how similar games are, then maybe all games of starcraft are the same because they each contain mineral patches

Life has a hangover, so obviously doing a style that demands the least amount of thinking is preferable.
