There's a true irony to seeing the best zerg players trying insane midgame strategies because they don't feel comfortable heading into lategame on even footing.

How far we've come from 2018-2019.

Protoss being way better than Zerg in late game is a design problem, since Zerg is the race with the weakest "kill power". That being said, Serral messed that up pretty bad lol

It's amazing that we hear this nonsense any time Zerg isn't by far the best race.

Zerg has the weakest all-ins, weakest cheeses, and is least capable of timing attacks. So when Zerg lategame is the worst lategame of the three races (I really think Terran is slightly better lategame right now), it's reallyyyy bad for them.

It's not nonsense at all.

I agree completely.

BUT, I think protoss's current advantage late is pretty trivial compared to where we were a year or two years ago. But I think the current void is too fast which makes it too easy for protoss to "take a shortcut" to skytoss.

It's been a month since Zerg has won a premier tournament--clearly the race is in a hopeless spot.

You're the one doing the exaggerating not me. All-in-all I think balance is in a pretty good spot right now, and I'm happy Protoss is doing well again. The game is practically impossible to perfectly balance, and there will always be issues (some minor) to point out

Six queens for the original version I think. Maybe Elazer's variation has 8 queens--I don't remember.
