I think that's why Zerg was given the fastest units with the most mobility (mutalisks, zerglings, overlord drop/ nydus options, etc.), to keep harrassing- especially with multi-pronged attacks, as Zerg isn't necessarily supposed to win in a straight up engagement (although some of their unit compositions aren't terrible, to be honest).

Oh ofc some of the compositions aren't terrible, otherwise we would never seen a GSL win in the first place.
about the mobility tough, stalkers and MMM are pretty dam fast as well, not as fast as lings muta's but they can do quite a bit more damage as well since they don't melt usually.
Hell, maybe its the players and not the race.
We constantly see new terran and new protoss coming up in code A/S except for zerg.
It's about time to get a fresh batch of them, the last was DRG and how many months was that ago.

I really dislike trying to get statements like this, as they just try to just get an "out-there" statement that can cause some controversy, and then people just run with it like shown here in this thread. I wish that people could just read stuff like this with a grain of salt. Most of the Koreans at HSC4 were basically just going "imba imba imba" at every possible thing when they commentated, and I think it just extends to something like this.

The TL BW community has never really made fanclubs.

Really it's the creep. speeding up both your units and acting as a cloaked observer. It never feels like I can attack zerg if he has sufficient creep spread as I have to spend time going Alpha Centauri on the creep.

Yeah, and as I said, it's usually done in the same manner as the stuff that happened at HSC4. It's just to grab some attention, not really for any substance and people shouldn't buy into it so much, but hell, because it's flash, it must be true. -rolls eyes-

Why would they? Can they really dictate if one player can stream or not? :/
