Probably a meme strat but does anyone ever try to use droplords to constantly drop a few ravagers to snipe eggs between bases?
Neither party will be missed.

Sounds like something TLO would try, and then lose

Takes 4 biles to 1 shot an egg, that's 4 ravager=400/400 + overlord speed = 500/500. Even assuming you wouldn't lose the droperlord to queens, you just can't afford that.

The new patch does not nerf aggressive PvT styles that much, but it's made mid to late game unplayable for protosses. It was already pretty bad for either PvT or TvP. Just look up Neeb, ShowTime, Stats, Trap's PvT records, and Bogus' TvP. Now it's completely one sided for Terrans.

The real problem which was that the MU was completely early game dominated, is not addressed and I expect Classic/Zest/herO to continue their PvT streaks. Though their window for carrying early game advantages over to mid-late game will be shortened.

This is what happens when you address a matchup design problem with a balance patch.

So what race is OP? Terran? Protoss? Is it Zerg?

Between January and February, protoss was op in PvT and Zerg was op in ZvP. Since then Protoss was op in early PvT and terran was op in early TvP. Terran was op in late game TvZ. For this patch, I think terran is op in TvP but protosses seem to figure out PvZ so they might be slightly advantageous in that MU. Can't say too much for TvZ for now, but I would guess it's in good shape.


But none of it matters because Serral will win Austin and Rogue will win GSL regardless

It matters. Rogue would not be able to take down Maru in a GSL bo7 set up in the last patch. IEM was totally different as in Maru did not know he would fight Rogue and there was no time for him to prepare for or adjust to Rogue's all ins. Rogue admitted he could not win lategame ZvT vs Maru. But yeah patch does not matter for who will win WCS, unless they hammer down Zerg with a major patch (undeserved imo).

When Rogue beat Maru in a bo5 pre patch, the two games Maru won were ones that didn't go late (he won g1 with marine pressure, and g2 with cheese).

The raven nerf would change nothing in that series. If anything it would have helped Maru, because it means he'll have to play aggressive and not turtle to lategame. The two games he won vs Rogue were him being hyper aggressive in the early game, not turtling.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

drop ravagers on the edge of the base, let ravagers walk to the base and fire, then come back to be picked up by droplords waiting at the edge. Queen would have to chase ravagers to the edge and then may be able to fire a few volleys at the the droplords, missing injects without killing anything.

Neither party will be missed.

good point on raven nerf being relevant in that particular series. I think Rogue was saying he just wasn't good in ZvT since he let himself go since winning blizzcon so he had to cheese.
