If you think zerg can support broodlords on 3 bases; you don't understand how zerg works. | ||

GG I'm pretty sure you referring to a game where leenock had a 4th base mining just gas...Also, if your going to say "leenock did X, Y and Z", point out the game in which you are referring to, otherwise you just sound like you're spouting nonsense. | ||

No, against HerO he was confined on 3 bases, not mining anything at all from the extra hatches he built because they were destroyed immediately. Zerg can't really afford to trade (or lose any unit) on 3 bases, but he can mass up the deathball just fine. It's happened in code S. | ||

I was referring to the game between Leenock and Taeja on Antiga from RO8 last season. I understand 3 base Zerg with Hive tech is not sustainable but it's quite possible. It's not ideal but it can be done, and Leenock used queens to boost the cost efficiency of his army and made it work. 3 base Zerg is just as viable as 3 base Terran nowadays. | ||

I hate it. as soon as Blizzard says "nerf x" all the players of race x come out of their holes and claim "everything is fine" and the other players need to "l2p". I'm not sure if Infestors would vanish or are "solved" but this last page was just as cliche as it can get. | ||

Well that is how it works in master anyway. | ||

I was going to say, isn't that standard on Antiga at the moment? 3 base turtle into hive tech then capture the middle, take bases 4 and 5 before pushing across map. | ||

If zerg makes enough units at the right time and crushes an attack hes often able to take a big enough advantage thats going to carry him for the rest of the match. This is due to the larva mechanics but in combination with the design choice that most units in this game need to be hard countered. It makes playing against zerg either stupid easy (terran once had rax before supply with reapers!!!!) or very frustratingly difficult (zerg buffs make early pressure now unrewarding, forced to lategame). So often it basicly comes down to a good read and some solid mechanics for zerg and its been that way from the beginning regardless of how good zerg whas at that time. Now they just have an easier time doing it due to awkward balancing by blizzard. So everytime when I try to see the big picture and want to find some reason on balancing issues I just get a headache. I feel sorry for SC2 design team. I also watched this guys stream, he whas my T hero ;( + Show Spoiler + On November 13 2012 21:17 mEtRoSG wrote: used to be gm terran for 6 seasons, tvz was the most fun matchup which kept me on playing, stopped 2 month after the quen buff, game just isnt fun anymore, now playing dota which is fun! gj blizz :D | ||

It's not like Terran can just forgo all forms of defense and just rush to straight BCs (as if that was a legitimate army anyways) Terran does not have an infestor like unit that can do everything. Terran can easily go 3 base BC, if BC was any good and if you get a PF at the 3rd. It follows the same theory of going with the carn build of thor/hellion. | ||
