Terran is in the middle, but because of this, Terran is still FAR ahead of Zerg simply because blizzard made mech very viable. It isn't TvP or TvZ or PvZ, it is the exploration of the game and the gems found so far. I would hesitate to make something as drastic as that a thing just yet. How does this make sense? Ignoring all the speculation about who has been practicing HotS and who hasn't. How come there isn't a single Zerg, who didn't have to play in the GSL, who has been practicing HotS, who has found an answer to Terran and Protoss? So the answer to Zergs doing this bad is "they just need to learn to play"? And while Zergs are learning to play, Terran and Protoss will just sit around and do nothing? | ||

I don't agree completely with his analysis, but you don't seem to understand that Zerg has a higher need to know timings than the other races (they have to cut all economy unit/base production to defend, unlike the other two races). Zerg will do badly after every radical game shift because of that fact. There is probably imbalance on top of it, but it is hard to say what is imbalance and what can be solved with the shifts in the meta. | ||

If you make a sentry early enough, your scouting is kinda fast right? | ||

It was the continuous nerfing of anything that made Zerg uncomfortable early game that fucked up WoL. CatZ is frustrated guys, let him drone in peace. DRG is frustrated too buddy, and I promise he can outmultitask anyone on the ladder. its not about easily shutting down pressure, just having a real chance at shutting it down. Some people mention scouting, I drone scout, and I think drone scouting is a must, no one complained about that, you can see reaper opener, it will still hit before you have anything out though | ||

If you make a sentry early enough, your scouting is kinda fast right? If you go for a zealot or stalker before sentry, which you generally want in case the terran opens reaper, you will get your hallucination to scout his base at around 7:30 which is waaaay after you needed to decide which tech path you want to take. It suffers from the same coinflip-disease that PvP was/is infected by where there are so many things that can kill you outright or set you far behind and you can not scout it in time to counter it properly. | ||
