crank: it seems innovation at iem and your lategames prove that in tvz terran is more likely to win the game if you get to very lategame macro. innovation agreed on that. what's your opinion?

maru:i agree also.

crank:then there is no answer for that situation for zerg?

maru:yeah...zerg has to end before entering that stage.

It's so rare for games to go as late as Inno and Maru mean, especially on halfway even footing. The hell kind of games do they play in practice to be sure Zerg can't win?

Well, it's not that they lack practice. Rogue's ZvT is solid and I guess they are more likely to play against Dark's and Solar's; recent tournament results also seem to suggest Terran wins the lategame more often against Zerg.

terran efficiency snowballs at that point

Mules, mech, Terran sim cities, pound for pound strongest units in the game, all the range advantages, etc. It just makes sense, and the proof is in the pudding

What excuse? Heromarine legitimately won.
It's crystal clear Serral is not the dominating juggernaut he was the last year, but that's not an excuse.
If someone would like to throw words like "outplay" that might be the case it's appropriate.

They don't play mech though. And as I said, games going that late to begin with is a rarity. Like, the late game they're talking about is lots of ghosts, mass libs, nukes. That's 20+ minute games. Those are already rare to begin with among Koreans. And they also depend on players not making a game-ending mistake. And there's literally nothing easier in late game ZvT/TvZ than to make a game-ending mistake.

I can't tell you either, but that's not exactly what we see every game. I am not a top Zerg, we will see if it's Serral being out of shape/having hard times vs Terran/choosing inappropriate strats of if that strat is just overwhelming; I'll stick with my hypothesis for now.

both mech and ghost/lib styles are highly efficient though

unit comps are only one aspect. Terran racial attributes like mules, sim city w/ static defense + entrenched positions, unit efficiency are just so powerful in the ultra late game.

i agree with inno and maru - that kind of late game Terran is heavily favored

Wow Serral lost to Heromarine? Guess his ZvT is worse than we thought. Although Heromarine seems to be strong at the moment, he played high level TvT at Katowice too.

Watch as 2-0'ing Serral is the only win Heromarine gets in this entire playoff
