hmmm do i want to watch this or just play cs go hmmmmmmm I'm debating laddering myself. I don't particularly have any attachment to anyone in this group but its not often I get to watch SC2 content yeah, im thinking about saving my energy for watching the starleague vods, still haven't seen those series yet You haven't yet? Then don't ladder before Life vs Dream, you might die of passion and excitement overflow. It was a good series but kind of underwhelming compared to the previous one. (other than g5 which was pretty fun) I liked Maru/herO a lot more honestly. + Show Spoiler +I liked the random proxy hatch on Merry Go Round and the 9-pools. And the last game was one of the best this year easy. Yeah it was really fun, just not as many of the epic macro game like the first series. I guess I'm spoiled lol
Even the first didn't really have many epic macro games. It was: Life dies to pressure. Life dies to pressure. Life kills mech player. Life kills greedy Terran with banelings. Life kills greedy Terran with banelings. Dream has an absurd and completely ridiculous hold that will be forever remembered. Decent macro game.
Regarding herO vs Maru:
+ Show Spoiler +I think Maru didn't play that too well. Too much respect. Didn't go for his signature colossus snipes enough even when the opportunities were there. And that base trade attempt on Vaani was a terrible decision. Also he didn't adjust well enough to herO going DTs in every game.

Uh, hiding in a corner of his 3rd base guarded by his entire army is a pretty good spot I wonder when zergs forgot that they need massive spine forests to survive 3 base timings if they're teching to greater spire Roughly when SH got changed. No point in having spine/spore walls anymore Of course there is. You survive three base timings and actually get to BL/infestor. if you'd still have to do it, which I assume you do, it's not the best idea to play this style It's just the exact WoL roach/ling -> BL/infestor style, which is just a lot weaker in HotS. You're supposed to make spines while teching to hive/greater spire or you die to this sort of attack. It's been that way ever since. Zergs somehow seem to have forgotten that though. you have to play a lot more riskier now I don't see the point of leaving yourself open if you're gonna play a turtley style anyway. Just doesn't make sense. If you don't wanna make spines with roach/hydra, I get that. But with a build that rushes tech this hard with no real army in the meantime? You roll over and die if you don't have adequate defense (spines). it's not WoL anymore, you shouldn't be able to just win games like that, so you have to risk a lot to get a decent army instead of playing safe, knowing you'll probably win in the end I completely disagree, you can't just expect your opponent to miss out on such a gigantic opportunity to straight up kill you. Especially when protoss players have been hitting 3 base timings for the last 4 years. It's not the best style anymore, I agree, but if you're gonna do it then at least do it right.
There really isn't composition to triumph over colossi and high templar. I think zergs cannot let protoss to tech up so freely.

Rofl those were funny from zerg POV.
Parting's thought process - ok soO is very good with mutas so I will go double stargate phoenix before third to make him pick another tech.
soO goes mass muta corruptor and curb stomps parting while looking bored

It being a thing is strongly connected with soO healing enough to go for the finals again.

There's more to this game than unit comps

Kane doesn't get to call himself NA king unless Masa also gets knocked out first round in last place
The battle for Canada is tight right now

I'm pretty sure there won't be bio/tank positional wars. Because for one, Flash favours mech, which is viable on Echo, and two, because yolodrops are stronk.

I don't think that composition is an issue for zerg. You can kill colossus/templar armies just fine. It's just the mass blink/sentry/storm/immortal style that's incredibly strong. It's got so much map presence, pressure potential, mobility and fighting power all in one. That and with forcefields, blink, storm and recall you should never trade unfavorably.
Rough time to be a zerg vs protoss atm.

yeah likely we'll see bio/tank v mech. I wouldn't be surprised if MMA brought out some tank drops like he did against Curejwa
edit: Still Flash's trademark Hellbat/Mech is pretty mobile fun IMO. It's really fairly similar to bio/tank

Cure really doesn't deserve a -jwa if he keeps performing like that.
Mech vs bio is the best TvT anyway. But maybe MMA has another curveball Bomber build and goes mech himself.

Cure played pretty well in that game IMO.
Still I think Bomber is the Bio/Tank god. I have wet dream's sometimes about s3 2014 TvT bio/tank meta!

The + 2 range for roaches makes no sense :D

This is basically my nightmare as Zerg, lings completely failing to kill a drop
