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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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  On August 28 2019 23:02 SamirDuran wrote: You should watch the games.

And it's sad 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. | ||
