Great work OP, it's about time this mindless, micro hindering shit spell is removed from the game. Boring as hell, does way to much damage and is to hard to dodge or counter. I shouldn't have to spend countless actions splitting to avoid zerg pressing F and winning the game. And Blizzards "solution" is laughable at best, hire someone that actually plays the game, cause they obviously do not.

Thanks for spending the time to actually write a proper post about it.

as I zerg Im kinda hoping blizzard would just axe fungal and maybe IT too and give something thats actually interesting in return

Blizzard removed KA from the game entirely and changed energy mechanics on a lot of units after the beta so I don't see how they won't be making drastic changes again anytime soon.

And Queen Range.. fuck that. I miss the days where MMA would kill a zerg alone with 2 reapers in the beginning of the game. Specifically on Tal'Darim :D

i wonder if the other high point on the graph where foreigners beat koreans would be in pvp, which most consider to be a toss-up (early on, maybe not so much anymore).

It all makes sense now. Of course you've just fanned the flames which seems slightly.. unnecessary, but you seem to have had fun doing it so well done.

Wasn't Orc in WC3 buffed so Grubby could compete with Koreans?

I write this article and expose this unpleasant truth as a plea to Blizzard: I beseech you, leaders of the mighty empire, to strengthen fungal growth even more. Indeed, your wise patches have propelled legions of white Zergs to previously undreamed of results. However, there is an unintended side effect: what happens when almost all the high Korean finishers are Zerg too? Yes, infestors lower the ZvZ skill ceiling so that much that it even lets patchzergs beat GSL champions occasionally;

I like the titles of the writeup itself along with certain sections of the actual writeup. It's clever marketing like that, that sticks interest for a sap like me.

Offtopic IE: I never watch or care for Alex Jones and all the stuff he rags about, but each time I hear about FEMA for whatever reason, no matter how little I ever hear of it. I think of one of his documentaries aptly titled - Police State 4: Rise of FEMA. That shit sticks in the back of my head for good or bad, it's a damn clever title.

Interesting read. At least, until you went all Blizzard anti-Korean conspiracy.

Stephano may be a foreigner. That doesn't make him a patchzerg.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

LMAO at that picture. WOW.

They can't be this ignorant. What stats does david kim read? look at that picture, it tells more than 500 million words.

Stephano is definitely not a patch zerg. He was an incredibly skilled player far before people where even considering the current patch being imbalanced.

Pretty much covered everything.

As a Masters Zerg, I don't use Infestors in any match up any more (muta micro till I die). It's just not fun to play SC2 that way, even if it means my win rate is suffering.

Yes, then said patchzerg loses to a korean that hasn't had a single major tournament win in his life.

The biggest irony is that the example of the white poster-boy is of African descent.
