I wonder how soO is going to play it this time around ;o It feels like every season there's a map where terran players will start playing mech, get very good results, and then unaccountably stop playing mech on it a few weeks later. That sounds moderately better than turning all the corruptors into brood lords and then losing them all to vikings. Also the baneling into thors game was bel'shir beach not bel'shir vestige, so Artosis did forget  . | ||

You could say the same for any of the other foreigners who have been in the GSL and didn't have English as their first language. Sure, Special has been in there more than any of them individually but definitely not all of them combined. Maybe now that Special is really the one it might make sense but historically, GSL is just not on a scale where it's realistic for them to have translators for every language. | ||

Sure, Special has been in there more than any of them individually but definitely not all of them combined. Maybe now that Special is really the one it might make sense but historically, GSL is just not on a scale where it's realistic for them to have translators for every language. the only time i can think of where a non-english translator has been required has been for the chinese players, and those are more readily available in seoul. edit: saying that, i do remember in one of the first few seasons, they were only able to get a kr -> cn translator, so there was an awkward post-game interview with john and sen where it went en -> kr -> cn -> kr -> en | ||

Not sure what unit to build vs that tbh.. Its hard to choose because it depends what their max army look like and its always hard to tell just how many bcs there are and what not. I really feel like hydras should be stronger vs BCs, and honestly the teleport+ shoot while moving seems a bit much. Problem is if you overmake corruptors you almost 100% die, since broodlords dont work anymore. | ||

I really feel like hydras should be stronger vs BCs, and honestly the teleport+ shoot while moving seems a bit much. Problem is if you overmake corruptors you almost 100% die, since broodlords dont work anymore. soO's games were hardly hopeless. First late game mech he lost he WAY over made Mutalisks to the point where he lost FIFTY of them. When you make that many Mutalisks you're basically all in, he didn't deal the kind of crippling damage he needed to with them to make having that many of them worth it. In both games he throws away Broodlords because he didn't have any Corruptors to protect them from Special's air units. In both games he doesn't utilize spellcasters correctly. In the first game he hardly uses them at all (old soO wouldn't make them period) and in the second game he doesn't utilize Neural Parasite until after the rest of his army is already gone so a single scan just wipes all of his Infestors out. soO's late game looked weak, just like it usually does. soO is a notoriously infamous midgame Zerg. He thrives at Lair tech, that's where he likes to play. Special's game plan from the get go was to not play Bio/Mine vs Zergling/Baneling/Mutalisk, he refused to play the type of game soO is good at. It was a good strategy. | ||

Have to be on point with runbys and counterattacks and that's not really soO's strength. Special played vs his style so damn well. | ||

Well, it looks this way if you have a player who's turtling and defending until 200/200 | ||

Terran looks a bit too strong against Zerg sadly, but we’ll see. SoO isn’t a great late game player, and he knows that which is why he was late to get to vipers and other hive units every game Edit: Also just watched all the games. Why the f did Zest not have any defenses on golden wall. He basically scouted a 1-1-1 and every 1-1-1 build on that map features the hellion drop at that blind spot. Didn’t even have a shield battery anywhere in his base | ||

Sad times if he does bow out to the army... Also am really not liking pvp one bit... Artosis said that there was a time that pvp was fun with mothership cores and so on... does anyone else agree? | ||
