So I've not watched a lot of SC2 in since Maru won SSL, watching this Kespa Cup is a ton of fun but Hero seems like he just makes stalkers and blinks and since the SH can't force Protoss out of Stalkers anymore Stalkers seem like they are the be all-end all unit for Protoss?

How do other Zergs deal with it?

It's not, but it is just not necessary without swarm hosts and templar are just way better.

I don't like it. It's much slower and even more vulnerable to vipers which generally come at some point. Colossi, that is.

yeah, Templar are just better. But Colossi aren't bad either. Not sure about slower. Colossi are usually earlier than storm and more mobile than templar.

You have to be significantly better than your opponent and get infestors. It's the only way I've really seen.

It's kind of funny how we've almost seen Protoss players in Korea become more and more aggressive in almost all matchups with the new "kill the colussus" strats from Terrans. There is such a fundamental vulnerability in having your damage output in one unit and a lot of the players are starting to really appreciate.

Well done from herO.

Life zvz's is probably the most readable out of any zerg player. I am pretty confident any amateur zerg player would be able to build order win life 4-0 pretty consistently if they are smart. Dark played on this and got an easy series win. Hopefully hero wins now so we dont have a zvz.


Do you beat him consistently on ladder or what are you trying to say


ladder is not the same as builds you bring to a bo5, but yes i have a positive win ratio vs one of his accounts. I dont know his others. Koreans are very robotic in their approach to the game. When life will 15hatch or 9pool is very very predictable and the skill gap between players will not matter in a 7pool vs 15hatch or 9pool vs non 15hatch.

Proof ?

I've been waiting for proof for something like 12 months


are u guys really questioning 'duckk'? the savior of north american esports? really?

I have no idea who's this guy tbh


U don't know who duckk is?!

I meant that if you're already into +2 blink but also have a robo, templar tech is faster. Templar archives build faster than the robo bay, storm research is faster than colossus range and warping in a templar and waiting for a storm is faster than building a colossus.

Roach/hydra/queen/BL

Roach/hydra/queen/infestor/viper

Surprise muta base trade.

Or Coin flip them out.

So you aim to abuse the early economic lead to get the Roach Hydra numbers up and slow down Protoss as much as possible using Roaches, Burrow and possibly some Mutas. You rapidly tech up to Hive and gauge whether you have time for a BL transition or you need the faster Vipers out. Take an engagement in a massive concave and (literally) blinding cloud half the Protoss army to compensate for Psionic Storm.

Just a small little idea, what about including a 'Silence' to Fungal Growth? Zerg is the only race without anti-spellcaster abilities.

10p bane vs Hatch First is a hard hold.

Its pretty impossible without massive mistakes from the aggressive player, and Dark did a pretty good job microing
