Snute and stephano beg to differ haha

Yeah, Snute's swarmhost play with gazillion static defense was forgotten

That's still nothing compared to Stephano in HotS with swarmhosts. Literally would never attack.... ever.

Just so we are clear, are you commenting on the quality of play from the two players and how it led to the outcome, or is this a balance complaint saying that Zerg is OP compared to Terran?

I think zvt is imba and at the same time Serral is much better than Bunny ;D, also catching the medivacs didnt really make much of a difference , Bunny failed to find any weaknesses at all.


You think it's imba in favor of Zerg? How do you account for soO, Rogue and Reynor losing so many matches to Terrans in this tournament? They all just had a bad tournament at the same time?


Those players don't have a zergling kamikaze group triggering all the mines every time terran even hints that he is gonna push forward. The few engagement that go in their favor they kept trying to overun the terran army instead of using their brains and realizing that all they have to do is buy time until tier 3. Broodlords just push the terran back and kill all hope of ever pushing forward on the ground (so you add a million spores to your far bases) if ultras you just kill all the terran PFs and starve him out.

That's been a thing forever in SC2. I loved how in WC3 a loser always had to win 2 Bo5's while the winner just had to win one or at least was a map down.

Not my call alone. I prefer 1-0 as I believe its more fair. I was overruled by several People saying playing one more series already through LB is a disadvantage and its worse for the Show too.

Of those 3 only Raynor was playing good inthe tourney. Rogue didn't even try and soO was still slumping hard. Reynor needs to learn how to play vs mines as he somehow missed this era or totally forgot Using Rogue especially is a pathetic try as he played horriblpy.

(not saying ZvT is imba, but on the other hand it would explain why so many good foreigner are zergs )

It would be sick seeing Zest continue on his lower bracket decathalon, but I'm rooting for Innovation so we can get that Inno-Serral series.

Zest is the sharpest player on the best form aside from Serral, so I hope he gets to the finals, inno seems slower these days than in his prime, so its hard for him to beat Serral in the current bloodbath TvZ meta.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

The question now is if Zest's PvT really has improved a lot since the group stage or if it was more because of uThermal's admittedly poor TvP that he took him down.

I'm a terran and can cry salty tears enough to create a new dead sea, but can we like maybe wait at least a month or so of the new patch first?
