I personally believe the meta will change from Roach/Ravager to a composition that is better at dealing with drops. Whoever is casting with Kalerias said Ravager/Ling/Muta? I'm curious to see what happens.

Also, is this Byun's best achievement ever? Even if he doesn't make it to Grand Final

roach/ravager just gave the comp longevity, it isn't much more interesting to me.

Expecting any kind of roach based comp to be entertaining is folly.

Edit: actually burrowed roaches can be fun sometimes.

No, him mentally breaking to Seed in the ro4 in the GSL is his best achievement

edit: also happens to be one of his saddest

The problem with roach/ravager/infestor/ultra is that in terms of pure money you need about 7-8 bases it looked like (because ByuN made him burn a lot of units/resource in drop prevention/drone retention), but if you get spread out that far you just can't deal with drop.s You can't attack till armor is done and there's no guarantee you can break them either.

There are a lot of problems with this comp when played against Byun/TY

i think the r/r corr style that the skt zergs used a couple times is pretty strong

i want to see a decently fast 3rd from sk into a r/r timing or solid defense on ulrena

I was leaning towards a conspiration of coffee producers.

I think I'd rank ro4 code S better than 2nd code A, maybe equal
