I think it's ideal for a matchup to go to Midgame. (in some way)
This leaves possibility for a long game
and many options for rushses and earlygame skirmishes.

ZvZ lasting long enough to reaching midgame is almost as amazing and rare as TvT's reaching Full air armies, Raven battlecruiser
or PvP reaching ultimate army clashes.

The crux of the .. problem is, that most ZvZ's are pretty low econ, low tech and the prediction of who is ahead/winning is apparent pretty early on.

(PvP currently, suffers from much of the same problems)

It should be pretty obvious at this point that we're not seeing ZvZ finals because zerg is OP but because Serral and Reynor are. Look at Korea, there's Dark and then it's a wasteland.


but actually Z wins all the time and is, except for one tournament in 2019, dominating in korea aswell as in circuit. so if ppl complain about toss being Op due to one exception, where p was dominating... where's the massive complaining about zerg?

infestors are way too strong, z lategame overall the same. toss only has some timing pushes that are strong.
Zerg is OP as hell. Blizzard, stop nerfing Toss!

Like I said. 9 hours of wasting everyone's time


I remember that we had a couple of discussions on this board why we didn't have someone in SC 2 who is/was as dominant as Flash in SC:BW. Now that we have someone who has been dominating since 1.5 years, people are (already) bored by the repeating outcome.
I get that Serral could/should play in Korea but just imagine he was as dominant in Korea as he is in Europe. We'd probably have people complaining again about having the same outcome over and over again.

I didn't see people complaining about Maru winning 4 GSL in a row and WESG.
Serral is just dominating the B league which isn't as impressive


Yes :-) the B-leauge

And of course: the world championship!

winning 1 tournament (or to with GSL vs the world) = dominating the scene. Gotcha!


You're right, thank you for catching me. What Serral had done isn't impressive! Gotcha!

You have such an eye for these things, giving deep and fair thought to all your statements. You're very CHAIRitable I'd say xD

Jk, 2/10

I agree. Balance-wise roaches are fine I guess.

But they are by far the most boring unit - in all match-ups designwise.
Their existence forces unfortunate playstyles and game choices

Shocking that roaches aren't ruining ZvZ balance.
