Blizzard: Just be like IMMvp!

Oh Mvp I love you for your play but loathe you for making it harder for other Terrans.

I think he was rather talking about the way Mvp used Ravens. However, in my opinion the only reason for Ravens being strong was Metropolis.

You mean WCS Korea? That's mostly P though, unrelated to ZvT balance.

So much bias in one post. Thanks for proving my point.

Yep, I guess even pros Zergs stating that Queen buff was unnecessary and made Zerg favored in ZvT are biased towards Terran. Makes a lot of sense.

I dont agree with the TvZ was a great match up prior to the +2 queen range. I have a problem with a opening that was used on every map, every time. The only question was, "how many hellions will they build". But I guess it was nice for terrans to only have to know one build for the whole match up.

I hope you realize how ironic this statement is when talking about Zerg. And regardless of your opinion about pre-Queen buff TvZ, it was widely recognized at the most successful match-up in SC2. Now a lot of people compare it to ZvP... which unfortunately says a lot.


Considering how pure 2base timings are so rare in TvZ nowadays, and how rare 2base busts/pressure is rare in ZvP, i don't understand that comparison at all other than "killing zerg before hive tech is easier than killing him after hive tech".

An opener that works on every map, every time? Are you talking about the 6 queen opener or what?

I hope you realise how hilariously ironic everything you just said is

I guess you mean infestor? Corruptor are the things that protect BL from flying stuff before becoming BL themselves and are just flying junk otherwise
Infestors are the thingies that kill everything.

How about you all shut the fuck up and stop whining. All they said is "let's wait some more", not NO TERRAN BUFFS EVER FU ALL.

Besides if we go by tournament results, one could also point out that Terran will be the most represented race in Code S for example...

lol what a sick logic bro,To be represented in Code S doesn't mean they all win zerg to get code S spot.

It's great to see that Blizzard is keeping such a close eye also on their own WCS. So far during the continental finals we had 45 Protoss, 23 Terrans and 52 Zergs left. So far 7 Protoss, 3 Terrans and 10 Zergs has qualified for the WCS.

wow this is so dumb, it sounds like they watched IEM and decided "welp, play like mvp". I saw most of those games, and he probably would have lost more if the zergs build some spines to defend the hellion harrass. Not only that, but top 4 consisted of 3 zergs and MVP. MVP being the best player in the world, the three zergs being random up and coming foreigners.... .

Agree. Mvp managing to get Ravens on Metropolis while outplaying inferior opponents (including Nestea) in midgame hardly says anything about Raven's viability on any map between equally skilled opponents. Good luck getting a Raven fleet on Antiga.

I am amazed how many guys think when they don't agree with Blizzard's stance, that Blizzard is wrong.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

I am for this decision...allows players to come up with more creative play to overcome certain difficulties for their respective race in the metagame.
