ByuL is my pick. Such a great player, insanely good ZvT.

I'd laugh if a proxy hatch beats maru.

Byul/Skyhigh/Bbyong are all valid options. CJ might be the team with the best arguments to snipe Maru tbh.

Hilarious comments, really. For once we have a real mech TvZ game instead of the SH vs Raven crap, and this ensues. No comment

It was great to watch, but terran might be favored playing it, no?

This argument self-destroys since the same Zergs already claimed that Ravens were OP.

What? No it does not.
Zerg has no endgame vs mech, it's really that simple

Zergs before the patch: mech lategame is unbeatable
Zergs after the patch: mech lategame is unbeatable
So what difference from their point of view?? Except the same Zerg viewer gets to see a back-and-forth, action-packed game instead of endless camping? That's what I don't get from the comments here.

No, Zergs before the patch was : mech lategame is boring and long to beat, but not unbeatable. Just look at, I dunno, Snute vs MajOr at the top of my head. In no way unbeatable since Swarm Hosts did wonders.

There were two different schools regarding that, but clearly I read tons of comments from Zerg implying that Terran was unbeatable in lategame anyway. I don't think I need to delve into previous LRs too much for that, everyone remembers them and things like that. So, for the first school, fair enough. For the second, which already deemed balance as broken, what difference?

It wasn't unbeatable, just a pain in the ass. That's the difference. I'd rather have boring and balanced then exciting and not balanced.

Fair enough!

I can agree that some Zergs considered it unbeatable, but then it's not "Zergs before the patch", it's "some Zergs before the patch" d:

It was mostly for the Zergs that were clueless with Swarm Hosts or just refused to play them, but overall it wasn't unbeatable by any means.

I don't think that even now it is unbeatable(maybe on some maps it is, don't know) but it seems quite Terran favored.

Worth noting that Jin Air becomes the first team in 2014-15 Proleague with the #2 Round seed to face the #1 Round seed. It's been whoever win the 3/4 match made it to the finals.

It's still freaking Vaani and mech isn't the hardest thing to do if you keep up with the new zerg pressure/all in builds.

I blame zest, for going as far as maru's expansion with a dominating army and then decide to bring it back to flank them siege tanks :-P
But seriously against Maru you simply dont send a toss, even Action would have better chances.
