Is it really just because the Zerg player didn't bring a single corruptor to snipe that damned oracle the whole game? It looked like every single decent tech unit that the Protoss made got insta scorpion-pulled and killed (colossi, tempest, archon, etc.). Then Protoss just won with zealot/ stalker/ immortal. wtf? Probably because the zerg was horrible. He was like five base and never got above what, 120 supply while floating 3000 gas even though he's making pretty much solely gas units? | ||

A couple infestors added to that and the stalker/zealot dies quick I bet...With the instakill anything good move I'd assume the zerg shouldnt have lost. | ||

Also, finally they added Hydralisks to the game, I was missing them from broodwar. I didn't really feel great about the swarm host before, but after watching that video I'm actually really excited to go for more positional play. Viper and oracle will be units that define HotS in so many ways as well. | ||

Does anyone else feel that the viper, oracle, tempest, and swarm host are very boring to watch? In addition, the artwork and design, just visually are not appealing at all. I completely disagree. I thought the late game battles were much more interesting and complex than the Vortex v. broodlord snorefest we have now. | ||

I think they all look really cool and other than the Vipers pull move I think it was very fun to watch. Swarm hosts are cool stuff imo. Oracles are pretty neat too. | ||

I suppose it was because the Z was floating 4k gas and built zerglings. I wouldn't take that game too serious. I kinda liked how the swarm host and tempest both seemed to promote positional play. Removed some of my worries. | ||
