1. Idra lost because of poor scouting. It wasn't "Because Protoss had map control", and it wasn't "Because ZvP is broken". Absolutely nothing prevented Idra from sending an overlord to the 6 o'clock main. And if he found that expansion, 12 zerglings + 1a = Idra would have won. He lost because he was playing 2 base vs 3 (The gold was constantly harassed). 2. Cool did not win because of Ultralisk bugs. In Game 1, his ultras cleaved a total of... 4 marines, and a siege tank when attacking a PF. Big deal. In Game 3, he cleaved... 4 SCVs, and 2 missile turrets. Hardly game-changing - not to mention that repairing SCVs are intended to die to cleave regardless. (SCVs 2 tiles away are not). He really did not deserve to win that, though. His unit control in Game 2 was bad. Single-file zerglings into marines and hellions? No attacks on the Terran worker line? His worker control in Game 3 was worse. Had he microed them, he would not have entered into mid-game at a massive disadvantage, with 10 dead drones. Double roach warrens and burrow that he never used aren't doing him any favours either. | ||

The argument is equally weighted in game 3 that Top didn't deserve to win for not capitalizing on a massive advantage in the beginning. Smaller mistakes like double roach warren (burrow can't be considered - you never know if he would have used it provided situations were different) are not as comparable as a game-losing decision as what Top did. | ||

I think that's true, at least in lategame. It's just so hard dealing with ultra and/or broodlords in lategame TvZ while protoss fares a lot better. | ||

I wont propose to know how to fix it, but in its current form the game is losing its appeal quite fast for me. Dunno if I'm alone here. I think blizzard didnt do as good job as they could have on making the units fun. I find fungal growth/storm/hunter seeker all really cool to watch etc, but only fungal growth is standard of those. Just wish players would get them in every matchup  Im starting to hate colossus, cus everyone goes for them over storm. We also see no stormdrops, no cool harass other then blink shit from protoss. To make this game more enjoyable to watch, protoss needs a good way to defend agaisnt marauder and cloaked banshee, going anything else then robotics early wont be an option cus you cant SCOUT if terran is going cloak banshee or not. We all saw how those TvP in the GSL went today, most boring shit i have ever seen, total waste of time. | ||

The pros with large amount of hours invested in zerg and teams expecting them to deliver I can understand the frustration, but understand that even though you lose more than the other races I at least will always be a devoted zerg fan and I think there are lots out there like me, so keep on fighting  | ||

That's entirely correct. Top played... Well in Game 1. Cool played exceptionally. Top played well in Game 2 as well. Cool, not so much. In Game 3, Top's harass was good, but relied too much on Cool failing to adequately defend against it. And then Top decided to just sit back, and be passive against a zerg. Bad decisions from Cool early-game, bad decisions from Top in the mid, and late-game (Send 15 thors into a choke wat). Overall, a disappointing match. | ||

Cool just beat OGS-Top one of the best Terrans and said in the winning interview he feels he can make it to the top.. Maybe he was just having a bad day when he was being interviewed or something.. Don't read this if you haven't watched the GSL ro16 or plan to. | ||

His reaction time, movement of the roaches and queens (this in game 2 as well), and worker protection is TERRIBLE. Yeah I was just raging when he just clicked attack with the roaches against the helions so they just followed them around in big circle uselessly All he had to do was cut them off at the mineral line when the helions skirted around the edge while pulling his drones off mining for a second and he would have lost no drones and got some free helion kills. That was the kind of sloppy play even I don't do, and I'm terrible. Likewise with just waypointing the zerglings coming out of the nydus instead of grouping up first. He would have won that game straight up if he had grouped his zerglings properly and waited so he had enough to surround. Or even just sent a couple banelings into the mineral line. I put it down to adrenaline and nerves as you could see he was pretty psyched up and the relief really showed on his face when he won, which I'm glad he did. | ||
