Honestly if Serral didn't attack in so many times it might have worked. | ||

I find it interesting that this bothers you now when stargate has been the best way to open against Zerg for almost 10 years (outside of very committed early attacks). Especially because there's great variability of what happens after the stargate. | ||

And even that s not the case at the start of LoTV that stargate was the main opener, you are assuming to say that WoL and HotS have the same meta than LotV... Then maybe you can satisfy yourself about watching at the same builds for years but not me | ||

Then maybe you can satisfy yourself about watching at the same builds for years but not me Stargate has been the standard tech route in macro PvZ for 10 years, even when oracles didn't even exist. I don't disagree with you that LotV killed a lot of diversity in openers (since we're talking about PvZ, forge expands for one), but PvZ hasn't changed all that much. If you open robo or twilight, you're basically all-inning. Perhaps if you changed observers to be as fast as a phoenix, robo openers would be more common. There is no real change that can be done to prevent it (as shown by the fact that it survived two expansions and still is the best tech route) as the map control and harassment stargates give you is just too good if you plan on playing a macro game. | ||

More like embarassing for Dark. That choice of build was questionable at best, on a map where you can defend 3 bases on a single choke. | ||
