Also I read somwhere on TL that said sc2 zerg was somewhat similar to sc1 zerg in either units(obv lol) or macro or something. I didn't play sc1, but watching a lot of pro matches it seems that's the case. Ling muta is strong in sc1 and is strong in sc2. While sair/reaver isn't possible in sc2 and you have new units like sentries and collosus that you have to work with. Idunno I think there are a lot of good points in the post by azro above mine as well. | ||

In SC1, zerg has to harrass the terran (for example with mutalisk) and expand himself to prevent getting owned by a timing push. In SC2 the terran has to harrass the zerg to prevent getting steamrolled in the lategame by macro zergs. However, in SC1 the zerg was able to stop the terran even if the harrass didn't work out well (it wasn't very easy tough) but in SC2, the terran is pretty much owned without standing much of a chance if the harrass doesn't work out well. | ||

This is very misinformed. BW was not released in korea before it was in the USA. | ||

Almost same tactics can be applied in SC2 with Speedlings -> Spine Crawlers to defend -> Banelings/Mutas for pressure while expanding -> Infestor for late game -> Broodlords or Mass Roach/Hydra/Cracklings and few Infestors for ending. I've seen Koreans doing alot of multitasking with different unit composition (which they were used to doing it during BW with Lurker/Muta/Defiler control) and I think this is what sets Koreans from NA/EU players apart. For example, I've rarely seen NA Zerg players using Burrow and Overlord Drops as much as Koreans did. | ||

Well a few might be able to put up a good fight, but when SC2 is released - more older it gets, bigger domination by Koreans will occur. You overestimate Koreans. A lot. If eSports outside Korea stays as small as it currently is then yes, Koreans will dominate. This probably won't be the case though. | ||

I almost want to blame korean lack of ability in p and t, but I haven't seen enough replays to know if that is the case. | ||

You take this and play in a region(asian ladders) where the players are capable of so much you're bound to get a lot of good zerg players.

Artosis has always been pretty biased, still an amazing person and commentator :p | ||
