I know. That's what I'm saying. That's the depressing part. Killing bases doesn't do anything. Trading better doesn't do anything. Killing drones (which he did, plenty of them) doesn't do anything. Reynor still had a better army AND a better bank, despite taking damage for 20 minutes straight without setting foot on Special's side of the map.

This matchup is fucking disgusting right now.


As disgusting as it was back then when Terrans just massed Ravens and AA missiled the shit out of Zergs?

X is not a problem because Y was a problem in the past. Great argument, mate.

Reymor reminds me so much of Life omg

He is very similar. What I like from Reynor is that he techs up really well. Sometimes I felt life just tried to win purely on ling roach (which he did very often), and maybe that's because he was just too good to need to tech. But Reynor plays tech focused very well and throughout that he's makes great use of lings from start to finish.

Super lategame being (damn near) unbeatable for one race is just as disgusting as it is for the other.


Again, of course the lategame is unwinnable if you use your tech labs for marauders against broods.

Wow i think completely different: Game 1 was an awesome game with a crazy lot of multitasking on both sides.
I think just the unit combination of special made him lose. Or he should have dropped more with marines marauders in the lategame.

He may have killed drones, but he didn't enough scvs in the meanwhile. Reynor during those attacks was still ahead in workers, he just used that early economic lead to stomp him in late game.

Casters just overhyped those attacks that didn't do enough (or Special didn't macro enough behind).

Game 2 has just been a stomp as well. Reynor has always been in control.

He wasn't in a spot to win, Reynor had a better bank, despite doing nothing but taking damage the entire game. Ghosts wouldn't have helped. The Brood Lords wasn't even the problem, the ling+bane+hydra split attacks were.

Good ghost control can burn through a bank like that faster than you'd think.

You think I'm basing my points of one game? Terran barely win lategame ZvT since the raven nerf. That's why I said SpeCial would lose any game past 15 minutes.

I'm not sure if it's worse or better than when zergs couldn't beat mass raven to be honest (balance wise), gods like Dark still won some lategames on that patch.

I must have imagined that point in the game when they had equal banks and where both on 200 supply

See the thing with your logic is, back then it was imbalanced, but now it's not.


Factually incorrect; the first few months of the year were so far the most balanced for TvZ, winrate wise. After that, it's been more Zerg favored.

No one's saying it's impossible to win with terran. The discussion is quite clearly focused on lategame TvZ. Of which Maru didn't exactly dominate in his recent GSL win.

I was watching Reynors bank, and he was far ahead when they maxed out.

Look at this early attack again: despite the harrassments, Reynor is still ahead in workers. Bear that in mind before whining during the late game ;p
