I don't understand how on earth you're supposed to beat the game design of the broodlord.

I'm a SCR/BW guy mainly but I've been a fantasy fan for years and watched those games and it seems unlike the guardian there's no counter play at all to the broodlord. If you try and engage you can never get away with your army as the broodlings wrap around everything and thors are slow as hell and you can't purely use vikings due to the fact parasitic bomb and fungal exist as spells and everything by design super hard clumps.

Watching those 2 games I'm not sure what you're even meant to do.

There's a counter play to that, it's just not easy and it's better to not get the Zerg get there. Check some Maru games against top zergs when he goes into the lategame. It's a treat to see and it looks OP as hell. Or check Innovation's games, he played some good TvZs too.

Edit> I didn't watch the games, I was at work. And no offense to Fanta, but Dark is supposed to be a level or two above him(in SC2). So maybe it was just the difference of these two that looked broken, not games. But again, I wasn't watching them games, just saying Dark should look that strong.

Always. You can straight up take them. If you're in a base trade and your last building is a rax and your opponent's last building is a tech lab you win by landing.

Ok listen, I know we recently had this whole conversation about "full foreigner" being an offensive term.

But Special's build here at the start of the game is the fullest I've seen in a while.

Nerfing Zerg air is probably the only way out of this. t reminds too much of how SC2 lost a lot of momentum as an Esport back in WoL. Zerg has econ, remaxes and map control so an unengageable lategame ball is not even needed for the race to be successful, I hope it gets removed from the game soon.

My best bet would probably be nerfing the corruptor to the ground, such a boring unit which cover too well for the weakness of broodlords.


I'd hope whiners would be removed from chats and forums, but seems like they can't.

Keen and Fantasy(did they ever get past ro16 in Code S) don't beat Dark, the current Code S champion, after throwing big time and you want to nerf Zerg.


I actually did not even argue that Dark is not the better player. Lategame tvz is just dum to watch and I hope it changes soon.

I'm sure I've seen it on reddit. Not like pro games will ever go to that point at this rate.

Yes, the reason a lot of us know it in the first place is that it happens in pro games every now and then, I think the TLO one is quite famous.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

You should watch the games. Both games looked like fantasy is winning. Game 2 he had a huge lead but wants to go to late game anyways and dies. And it's sad

Doubt that. First of all Blizzard don't have the manpower and I believe they lack the will to do such changes. From WoL many players hate "free units units" and suggested some changes to change this(energy, cost, no pathing obstruction, etc.), nothing helped. Brood lords are actually quite fragile if you can walk under them. But you can't because broodlings everywhere fucks up pathing

I'll do, but I have to keep mah job to have them monies

There's a reason why many Terrans don't want to do lategame(TvZ/TvP) as it's really hard.
