It was featured after Mvp crushed some patchzergs and Nestea, who just turned 50, at IEM Seriously, dude? Why do you have to bring age in to this discussion? Nestea won three GSL's at the age of 28/29. Yes he is older than an average e-sport pro, but don't act like being 28 all of the sudden makes him a decrepit retard that needs his diapers changed. This statement is really uncalled for in an article like this, and it's not funny. Edit: Like others have said: The facts and analysis you provide is really awesome and I agree with most of it, but your article is marred by extreme bias, sensationalism, and conspiracy theories. | ||

Therefor a scrub foreign zerg can be as successful as an extremely good and refined Korean zerg. It's really hard to tell them apart while there's such a big difference watching Hero and a random foreign protoss or Bomber and a random foreign pro. Couple that with that after a certain point Zerg becomes unbeatable. Other races are on the clock while zerg isn't. | ||

Really interesting points. Maybe put forward a tad biased towards the conclusion but I think that was a good way of getting the point across ^^. Tho, Just on the note of the lack of mirror matchups. + Show Spoiler + Scarlett looked like she had Life beaten, but didn't believe it and let him back in. And Stephano at the GSL WC was amazing to watch. Schooled them all it felt like. Tastosis helped give that impression tho. Also, there was a Stephano vs MKP game on Taldarim a while ago, just b4 Ling infestor became everyone's go to instead of just Stephano and DRG in ZvT (at the top level), where Stephano went muta/bling against MKP. He made it look so easy, and just rolled MKP hard. | ||

I agree fungal probably needs to be changed. I don't agree with having yet more crap articles written about fungal. It's all been said before. But it's never been said before with sections named after Starwars movies! That alone makes this an awesome post. It also highligths the fact that the majority of people still skim through the OP and then post without looking at a single reply... >_< | ||

They could go for hellions banshees and 3rd cc and pretty much guarantee that they will be able to do damage and banshees could deny a zergs third so the terran could pretty much always get his first. I know that terrans are upset but please be reasonable and honest when it comes to the balance of sc2. Well before the queen buff TvZ was already insanely hard for the terran, thus only koreans terrans could get results (and LucifroN, but he is korean terran level, and ThorZaIN when he is on top) but it was kinda balanced, in terms of statistics and in terms of kor T vs kor Z and kor T vs for Z. | ||

Some of his comments I found more off-putting then funny. That's just my opinion | ||

Yes, just look at the games being played and it's obvious. Just from personal experience as a protoss player that rarely ever off-races. My ZvP is still almost at the level of my PvZ ^^ | ||

SC2 APM < actual APM how can it be your equation? Using your wrong equation, get my wrong results. | ||
