Why is playing like this a thing or even possible.

What other options does Zerg have vs late game Toss? Swarm Hosts are a necessary evil.


I think some SH are fine, like the 10-12 SH push that Solar and Soulkey used to do a year ago and the tech into Hive.
But this style with mass defense, argh it's so frustrating to watch Zealot's running into spines over and over again.
When I face a turtleing Toss/Terran (I'm Zerg) I rather just leave the game than play this style.

The very definition of a legitimate player is a player who uses and abuses everything legally in his/her power in order to win in the end.

Firecake will never, ever come close to skill the top Koreans (which Dark is a part of) have. He will never win a GSL or equivalent, or do well in PL.

firecake is trash, he can stroke his ego by winning against a Korean playing with latency at 5 Am if he wants, and you're free to admire him for that.

I don't see anything impressive out of firecake, he just knows how to use swarmhosts to win games and that's all he knows how to do.

because it's both harder and more passive, and passivness is not what Koreans like

I don't think this is harder than how Dark plays

It is more passive and requires more patience

are we talking about the game on Overgrowth?

because it doesn't work, Soulkey vs Rain Hot6ix finals never forget, never forgive. Doesn't mean they don't try SH stallmates
(RorO, Soulkey, Life, Dark to some extent).

No it is not, it's as cliché as saying that Hyun's whole relevancy is based on Roaches or that INnoVation's is based on Hellbats, or PartinG's on Immortals, etc.

Agree, FireCake has been boring us to death for 2 years, but now he's able to defeat top Korean Protosses in a long macro game. As dull as it is to watch we're forced to respect this.
Dear INno and all the former STX boys.

Koreans do play for SH draws every once in a while (Life on Nimbus comes to min). Though when they do go for it, they are much weaker than they're EU counterparts.

Let's face it, without the 2nd game throw..it should be a 3-0. I'm glad to have a french player there, but hey, Rain, wtf?
