I'll join the Resistance kind sir, thank you for opening my eyes. + Show Spoiler + Seriously though, if the OP was pure gold, some replies were the cherry on top of ir xD And as someone mentioned, DK probably read this and hastily went to post stuff on B.net (making this post way more epic) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Ver/sc2/funnyarticle/new/real/rsz_hyun_bogus.jpg) yes man I was thinking the same this moment. Sure, Bogus didnt play his best in the semis, were all ok with that. But think about the situation here: Your 3rd is getting attacked, your out of position and need to get back as fast as possible to minimize the dmg. logical isnt it? Well u cant just stim and try to get back, you need to presplit, attack and because of the unit movement split again after some seconds, otherwise this happens like in the picture. I mean wtf? Thats so unnatural and ilogical i cant describe it. the zerg knows your coming, so he can easily put his infestors in place and with a range of 9+2 kill ur stuff whil u just get a glimpse of them. Will continue reading tomorrow, so far an truly astonishing article, with alot humor and but with a true core message. I really like it. | ||

I stayed with Terran most of the way, but during the last week I realised: I don't care for Zerg anymore. At all. Not in the state they are. Everything I liked about their gameplay - the volatile early game leading to fucking ultralisks!, the highly mobile army, backstabbing attacks - is gone. Not completely, sure. But it's not what defines this race anymore. I blame the infestor. For real: Kick fungal growth, make greedy early game zerg more punishable, get them some damn mid-game with iconic zerg units like speedy hydras, mutas or whatever and let there be more than one T3 choice (Broodlord-Infestor followed by ultras to mop up the rest doesn't count as 2). I'd play zerg again. And I'm sure matches would be better to watch again. I don't know what's the best way to achieve this, but I damn hope it will be done with the release of HOTS, because after that..I don't know if my fun in this game would last much longer. The only tournament game that realy had me at the edge of my seat in the last months was the bomber vs polt TvT at the IPL 5. Many matchups are so stale right now, I just don't like to watch it anymore. tldr: Fungal growth sucks, Mr. Blizzard: Fix the staleness of the game - it's good, so better invest some work, I want my old zerg feeling back so I can play that race again. | ||

This was the wierd bit for me too. Was the whole point simply that people can make conspiracy theories about anything? What actually about the response time to ghost imbalance rather than to infestor imbalance as seen in the examples of 3base Zerg beating 6 base toss? I just don't understand what the point was... Regardless it was indeed extremely funny. | ||

I also agree that Koreans keep the viewer numbers down, even though this is a bit harsh I think we need to limit the amount of Koreans coming to our tournament. Like ipl5 was a complete disaster so many Koreans just made it unwatchable. If I wanna watch GSL or OSL I watch that, but for ipl5 I wanna see north American players and maybe some Europeans. Maybe introducing more US Only tournaments and for EU only Tournaments and just invite like 2-3 Koreans over for the open tournaments. Like Lone star clash 2(which had 6 Koreans not 35 like ipl5)had more viewers than Ipl 5 says something. WCS europe 100k viewers, it's time for the tournaments organizers to wake up. Remember South Korea has 10 years advantage and teamliquid did this them self for there tournaments in broodwar times so it's all good. About Blizzard making the zerg so easy to make white people win I just don't know, don't think they are smart enough for that. | ||

I long believed stephano being a patchzerg(and a lot of others), he become good after the infestor buff which happened in patch 1.4 and watching he's stream it becomes apparent, he only uses 4 control groups which is ridiculous and drag hes mouse when just target 1 unit is a newbie thing to do and other newbie stuff he does which I can't remember.

Stephano's a patch zerg now? what? he killed MC with roach/hydra, and nearly did the same to squirtle lol. not to mention his play is always astounding, and he's revolutionized every Zerg matchup at least once (infestor/ling/ultra ZvZ, infestor/ling/ultra ZvT, gasless 3 hatch roach/ling max ZvP), and while I'm not sure what patch 1.5 changed, these builds don't rely around queens which is I believe what constitutes a "patchzerg"? I guess he uses infestors a lot, but I guarantee you he'd be just as good today if he used other (buffed to be viable) midgame /lategame options. | ||
