I wish I had saved more of this dialogue, or even the replay, but I was too drunk on victory beer. This guy had been bragging all night about how awesome his ZvT was during our KOTH, and this was the night that the thread that started all this mess was posted. Over the course of the 35-40 minute game, he made a total of 8 marines and then nothing but thors, hellions, and tanks. After I murderized his thors, he just made more thors. I think I killed a total of 15 thors that game, with nothing but mutas.

I don't really think the magic box is quite the answer zerg has been looking for, 90% of zerg players have been aware of this since launch (it was discovered midway through the beta). Marines + missle turrets still tear mutalisks apart.

oh crap, another thread on these so called ""new"" """magic""" ""boxes"". I just shouldnt even start it...

If you think this is imbalanced, you are terrible, if you think this is new, you are uninformed. that sums it up.


READ THE FRIGGIN THREAD SON.

Seriously....

I really don't think you are old enough to be my father, maybe my little brother.
And if you're saying read every post, i wont, i'm just saying you shouldnt create a thread about it, it's annoying enough that Terrans are crying about this stuff for the 2 reasons i named. 1. It's not OP, it's not unorthodox, it's really not hard to deal with it. 2. It's a known tactic, wich was used by lots of players. Apparently as it turned out 3/4 of Zergs were copying IdrArtosis in their ZvT style, but still. Making a useless thread which is neither funny nor informative nor solves any problem it's a bad idea. Period. Srry if i sound agresssive, im a bit tired, and sick of the ammount of nonesense i've read today on this page, no wonder most of the good players dont post here, props for the few who do and have the nerves to stay calm, i'm not that good, but it aches to hear all this whine/rage/surprise/amazment etc... from both races over this topic.

Everyone is talking about balance and skill and strategies after every single friggin game, like they would understand half of what they just saw on the stream.

The "zerg tears" thread was terrible enough, making one to screw with that is equally stupid, which is sad, as i like to think the average Zerg poster is more reasonable then the average Terran poster, and it's sad to see that proved wrong


TL;DR

If you don't think its funny then...

That tactic has been around since beta, so fear not... your ideas have not been stolen.

hmn... don't overrate using the magic box for making mutalisks useful.
You often have to move and than use the stop command, making it hard to snipe certain things if you don't want mutas to stack.

It's a reason to throw more marines or generally bio units into the mix (Ghosts are also a nice counter to Muta). It makes the matchup more dynamic and fun, but it doesn't make Zerg imba.

I'd say that Idra won these games just because he is really good. He needed to find some gimmicky thing to regain faith into his TvZ and overcome his mindset of Terran just being imba.

You cannot hide thoughts from the Overmind, Idra.

Speaking of, wouldn't it be great to have a mod that changed the Zerg UI announcements/voice to Idra quotes? Bonus points if it could be done using the Overmind voice.

This thread did seem pretty forced. Should have at least waited for some Terran players to complain about countering Mutas.

Also we can still spend the entire early game abusing you, so...

it was like 1 minute after Idra used this very old, very known, very standard trick

Any guesses?


It's so annoyign that all these noobs/uniformed players making a hype about ZvT moving from ridiculously T favored mu to perfectly balanced/ zerg favored/ muta-only matchup. What happened is that Idra did a normal trick with the right units against an army which wasnt meant to kill air, now OMFG, the whole world turned upside down.

What 99% of players don't understand is that this is a glitch and it will be fixed/nerfed next patch.

For the time being calling terran "IMBA LOL" is retarded, as baneling and muta will be an unbreakable combo.

TvZ was less "broken" before favouring the terran (I never actually believed there was an imbalance, just that zerg players didn't find the gold strategy, this turns out to be it, a glitch...)

Now that it apparently favours the Zerg, which I actually do believe, TvZ actually is "broken."

You can spam as much QQLOL as you want, but just remember, it won't last, it will be patched.

Auto spread is a glitch? What?

I thought it was well known that thors are bad against mutas with good micro behind them.

This is nothing new.

mass mutas only work up to a point.

Tarson still didnt get Raven with seeker missle that does 100 damage to anything.

And even if you run away with mutas the stupid missle can chase you for half the fucking map and your critical attack moment / vital area will have been lost.

Terran is still imbalanced.

Yet thors were considered the hard counter to mutas by a lot of players. No, not only bronze players. More than one good zerg's said Thors completely nullify mutas.

Blizzard intends that Thors do splash to air.
Something that automatically stops them, not manually, is a glitch.

Blizzard designs the units to auto spread. The units auto spread.

it is now a glitch. Oh wow.
