Thank you for bringing the disgusting whiteboi nationalism to light. Skill > noobs for life.

The only reason why foreigners got a good match up ratio vs Korean in 2012 is because of Stephano and he was beating koreans left and right before the patch also

This is correct, i wonder maybe this is the reason that Orc was overpowered in Wc3 also? To allow foreigners beat Koreans.

I actually thought he was serious for most of this, hahaha.

On a serious note, the patch that came to HotS today seems very interesting. "Heavily nerf infestors" while making other play (mutalisks, ultralisks, and indirectly banelings/zerglings) more viable lategame. Can't wait to win and improve an equal amount as I am currently, but without everybody demeaning the value of my rank because of the race I play.

I hope this game dies, it doesn't deserve to be a successor to BW.

T_T thank you friend

Its a nice write-up, but the use of statistics is very bad.
- Winrates have to be compared with those before the patch, foreign terrans always sucked
- A high number of the zerg wins were by Stephano who simply has been outstanding amongst foreigners for a long time (also before the patch)

Very entertaining text! I see this all the time when I (terran) play with my two buddies (zerg and protoss). Even though I would say the protoss player is better in every single aspect, but not by a lot, the zerg has so much better success in Starcraft 2.

He had barely 50% winrate

Definitely a quality write-up.

And, damn, thanks for reminding us of how good ZvT used to be. Both watching and playing. It was the best matchup by far. Then all the metagame shifts fucked it in the ass. Mech, which I hate to death (who wants to see some amazing Thor micro? Oh wait...) and now going infestors. Definitely not as exciting as the old muta/ling style.

But, honestly, I think it's more the winds of the metagame and the discovery of new strats that lead to this fungalfest, rather than the last patch. It had something to do with it, for sure, but if we revert it back to the way it was pre-patch, infestors would still be the dominant choice, as mutas are almost not even viable in ZvT anymore. They would be slightly weaker but I don't honestly believe that we would see a significant change in gameplay.

But I definitely think there's truth in what you're saying.

how quickly we forget how prevalent muta ling bling was. and with that strat, it was never a guaranteed win. yes. more entertaining. but at the pro level, why not use a build that will increases your chances of winning? thus infestor strats became prevalent.

im just trying to say, yea, its lame to watch bl/infestor game after game, but dont blame the players. blame blizzard. and no, hots will not fix this.

you will now have swarm host-infestor-brood lord to deal with! om nom nom free units!

Yes blizzard need to take down some heads Diablo 3 failed completly , SC2 same mistakes zero community listen(slow or zero reactions to concurent games community ) , + outspam world of warcraft with datadisks where fight are less and less interesting and easy+pvp only +hp+dmg(per data) nothing more+ungly items to wear on most of races......(not played pandaria yet) .
Counted in ALL we need Total new soul+spirit+idea+fantasy to blizzard cause they only drain from their predecestor games SC:Bw, Diablo2,first two expansions of Wow......

From reading comments - am I the only zerg player that fucking hates infestors ? The sheer mind-numbing boringness of fungle into amove has singlehandedly made me switch to Terran then get a dota key. I just can't stand playing my race anymore, because infestors are the only choice that doesn't auto die to mech and FFE allins and it's the worst choice you could make when it comes to actually enjoying the game.

And I'm not even talking about watching tournaments.

I am Master and think it is utter rubbish, written by someone who has no clue and is biased :-)
Not to mention all the stupid things he writes that makes it either a troll post or just ridicolous
