I don't see it, and i'd advise that you don't go spreading that around because it's vague at best. i think this is just a troll post. He said she is dead because they said we will know what mean to be zerg, and in the multiplayer some people are saying that zerg is so weak that they cant win a single game and die every single match they are in. | ||

Fact is, since hatcheries only give two supply, command centers and nexi are actually cheaper since you get a free supply depot out of them, but hey different races are different. Just don't say things like "hurr zerg expansions are cheap". If you have two queens and get attacked by two banshees spawned by an easily hidden starport, you pretty much autolose since you won't have energy for transfuse. That's 50 seconds of free reign over your mineral lines before you have the next set of queens which can be easily downed when they spawn. Building multiple fast blind queens as in the spanishiwa build does not work at tournament levels, something spanishiwa has pretty much acknowledged, since such a high blind mineral investment early in the game in units that are good for nothing but fighting air and spreading creep pretty much puts you behind if they do anything BUT air tech. There's a reason Idra did not use the spanishiwa build in the IPL. It sincerely sounds like you don't play zerg at all. However, if you cant see a banshee opening coming enough to have a evo chamber, let alone an 3rd queen, you probably deserve to lose. If terran has a gas, its probably banshees. If terran didnt 2 rax you, its probably banshees. And if terran goes for hellions instead, a third queen is still useful for creepspread and blocking the ramp. | ||

If they're making nitro packs tech lab tech again, I assume this means they're either giving Z T1 hydras or buffing queens/spines significantly. EDIT: I found the interview: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/04/browder-hints-at-heart-of-the-swarm-updates-emphasises-importance-of-e-sports/ this is actually interesting news. im wondering if that means that zerg will have a new ranged unit in T1-T1.5 to match the other races? something other then roaches that can atk air.... im hoping they nerf hydras dmg, bring it to T1.5, and give it its speed upgrade back like in BW while reducing its supply to 1 again. this would fix alot of problems for zerg and allow for some early game aggression other then roaches... zerg is missing something and that is the ability to swarm. back in BW zerg was fast and numerous. with hydras being 1 supply and zergings 1 supply, u could mass a shit ton of units that were very weak, but since there was so many of them it didnt matter. in SC2 that is no longer the case. roaches and hydras cost 2 supply so that means u cant have nearly as many units as there were in BW. and hydras are still weak so splash dmg units utterly rape them. they also are expensive so u can r egenerate hydras as fast and as numerous as in BW. this is something i hope they fix in HoTS. TL;DR zerg doesnt feel..... zergy at all. they NEED to fix this problem. i want my super weak but highly numerous and fast mass of units back... | ||
