little bit of a tinfoil hat there... but a good read none the less. Well-written and reasoned sir, even if I do think there is a bit of fallacy going on.

Sorry op I'm not impressed, nice graphs and u made a few good points but ultimately you do the whole issue a disservice.


Posts like this make this an amazing thread. Good job Ver.

Sorry, as well written as this article may be. The way you use "patchzerg" just makes it seem like dumb fear-mongering.
Seriously? "The Patchzerg Menace"?
And the fact that you're advocating out-right removal of fungal shows how little knowledge you possess.
You're also talking about a fungal buff that never existed. The only buff it ever got was when it was changed to prevent blink. Current fungal is waaaaay less powerful. Stop pulling shit out of your ass.
Just a particularly well-worded balance whine.

Just looking at the graph of foreigner terrans vs koreans is hilarious

I still cant believe blizzard has not nerfed zerg yet.

One thing stuck to my mind, im fucking tired of hearing " money fungal" too.

The last section of this article completely discredits the entirety of what you wrote. I as a zerg player I agree that fungal needs nerfed and changed to a projectile but the way you go about making it into a conspiracy theory makes this and the rest of the nerf zerg threads look bad and is probably why blizzard keeps writing them off. Just stick to the facts like you did for so much of the article as it was really well written. Last sections like this are why people troll these threads all day everyday and just say it is toss and terran QQing.

Lastly please everyone dont forget that your respective races also had there times where they where "unbeatable" and then poof someone tried something new and it stopped.

Someone please tell me who the 2 foreign terrans were who won their TvP and TvZ Respectively?

There was one guy earlier who asked in page 2, but he didnt understand these 2 weren't the entire sample size.

Someone, please

Note about OP saying people want to watch foreigners win no matter how they do it.
Look at the recommended games for GSL WC day 2
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=385522
In the poles the majority of people voting recommended games 5 and 6 when they were boring as shit. Stephano wins both games then stays in the both games for another 20 pointless minutes jerking off until he gets bored and a moves. Some of the most boring games ive ever seen.
Next 2 games are recommended as well, cant speak to their quality though as i was so bored i went to bed.

I think its pretty obvious the game has become a lot less enjoyable to watch. I mean, IPL finals were like 20k viewers.. the most stacked tournament I've ever seen in sc2 history. And I remember just over a year ago watching the NASL MC vs puma finals with 100k+ viewers and being amazed at how much skill they had in those games. And at IPL it was just mostly zergs dominating with infestors all day.

I agree that zerg is the most forgiving race, but even more so, zerg has made the meta-game complete shit right now and you can tell its hurting the viewer base. I haven't even touched a WOL ladder game in the last year just because the game hasn't changed one bit. And everytime I watch a tournament, I never see anything interesting. The game has been stale for the last year, if anything blizzard needs to nerf the infestor and buff other random units just to change the way the game is played.

Remember how IdrA was one of the best foreign zergs because of his sick multitasking? He fell off once muta/ling went out of style in favor of infestors, so idra's advantage over other zergs was no longer there. Idra was the only foreign zerg at the time that many could consider to be on par with koreans. Like Ver said, now it's no longer surprising if a zerg wins vs. a korean. Stephano, Vortix, Scarlett, Suppy, Nerchio, Sen... they're all good players, sure. But where were they before infestors were buffed?

I think this might be one of those threads where the fact it is a joke needs to be explicitly stated in a mod note, preferably bolded and marqueeing across the screen.

Blizzard/David Kim need to nerf infestors in such a way that late game zerg composition doesn't end up with 20+ infestors every match up. Their stance on infestors is so disgustingly contradictory to how they dealt with nerfing ghosts. It's not okay to end up with 20+ ghosts in tvz, but its fine and dancy with zerg massing infestors in every match up (even including zvz)?

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


Ver is a much better player than you. (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Ver) so claiming you're a master and thus more enlightened doesn't really fly.

Edit: Well done with the section titles ;p

nop you are kinda rewriting history/getting the timeline wrong. Idra wasn't never par with koreans except for the first 2-4 months of sc2's release.

Stephano was the best foreign ZvTer and weak at ZvZ before his rise (like around the HSC where he beat Huk but lost to MC).
His muta play wasn't the best but he had epic drop defense and engagements, he baneling trapped during fights way before koreans and stuff like that. Nerchio made his splash after the infestor buff yeah.
