It will be interesting to see if Blizzard changes the style of the maps for next season, and if they think zerg lategame is in a good place now.

I think the fact that Zerg has both neural and abduct is silly.

Still would've won a few WCS but not the 6 he's won. Maybe GSL vs TW and homestory cup. No way he would have won blizzcon.

He won blizzcon in the same year that there was no zerg in any GSL finals...
Not even mentioning how he wrecked Rogue and Dark on his way to being world champion.


That doesn't mean he would have won as Terran. Terran has been the weakest race since mid 2017. Maru's level and protoss losing to mass proxy just hid that in 2018.


That also doesn't mean Maru would win everything he won as Zerg. What kind of logic is that?

You might be able to fix TvZ with maps, but PvZ can't be fixed that way imo. You'd need to give all the maps in-base naturals, or have large swaths of uncreepable terrain to give Protoss a chance. And even then zerg has Nydus.

Besides all the maps for next map pool were made six months ago.

Maybe not have a ton of maps that have huge centers that have no bases or anything so Zergs can just open the floodgates and surround. Blizzard's map picking process is either always at least 1 TLMC behind the meta or actually malicious.

If Zerg is already this strong at the start of the new patch... It's pretty scary for 2020.

Maybe he wouldn't have it's impossible to say. In 2018 Zerg wasn't completely broken or anything (unlike 2019) but Terran was the weakest race. Terran is also the most fragile race where one big mistake can lose you the game which is another reason Serral would not have been able to do as well.

I think there's such a thing as maps that are fine for PvZ that don't involve the features you mentioned. But the fact of the matter remains that for every SC2 match both players have a say in what maps get played so Zerg will veto the good stuff for Protoss and Protoss has to settle with the least terrible options, which are still better for Zerg.

Yeah PvZ is in a very sad state... Not sure what to do about it though it just seems completely screwed. Even such an elementar thing as lings seem way to cost effective, them alone can screw up the protoss at any time if he does not defend absolutely perfectly. And what is the risk for Zerg in it? Almost none...

What do you guys think could help?

To be fair, Stats had no other upgrades than +3 attack.


Its not just this game though, did you see WESG quals?


Have not seen any of them. I have not seen that many PvZ matches in the new patch.


In the Korean one, zerg when 15 and 1 in pvz

Not completely sure if that's true in the current meta. Last map pool for example zerg was favoured to some extent on every single map in PvZ. Maybe an incredibly droppable map would be good for Protoss, but then you run into problems in other match-ups.
