The numbers speak for themselves, foreign zergs are much more successful versus Koreans than the other races. If you think that is because all foreign zergs are just better than foreigners of other races then quite frankly you are probably an idiot. its obviously because the way Zerg works, they favour players on the foreign skill-level. | ||

TvZ was the flag ship MU until Zergs received many patches that just made the game boring. When neutral Korean and foreign pros began to speak out about the imbalance, I knew there was an issue. It was easy to see for anyone who had played Terran at a relatively high level. I stopped playing myself after the queen buff because I began to lose to players I once used to dominate. TvT and TvP remained great, but you could easily tell that TvZ was not right. As a player, I stopped playing several months ago. And I even reduced my consumption of sc2 because, as was stated, the games became more linear and predicable. Zergs turtled to infestor/bl or ultra and won. 11/11 rax had been neutered. reaper fe neutered. 2 rax variants, and even the hellion opener lost their potency. PvZ showed the same problems. the MU was stale, as protoss was relegated to 2 base while Zergs were free to both take more bases and deny protoss bases with their mobility. zerg seemed to have it all: the strongest 200/200 army, the best static defense (wall of spines/spores for no supply), the best mobility (running zergling packs to deny/delay expos), ability to drop, burrow, burrow move (denying expansions, forcing obs. or scans, greater harass), the best macro (when zergs could lose over 100 drones in the early/mid game and win), and the best re-max (even with the best 200/200 supply army, zergs could also instantly re-max). What confused me was the game design. How was it that the "swarm" race; ostensibly the race of "many weak units" became the race of the strongest unit composition in both MUs, and the ability to have "many" units with the re-max and static defense. As well as the huge pool of resources to support both of the aforementioned options due to superior macro mechanics. How did Zerg receive all of these benefits? As someone who loves playing RTS games-- all of these factors leave one wondering how one race could have so many advantages relative to the others. Zerg has every possible advantage, so it's little wonder we have seen so much domination on the part of foreign and Korean zergs. | ||

At least use real "patchzergs" as example if you are going to make a thread like this. Show some respect to the ones who has nothing to do with the patch. | ||

It's just outrageous that someone could put many hours of practice in and become consistently good. It's just appalling. | ||

It's just appalling. He must have have gotten some wrist problems trying to polish his micro and made a lot of unique and new game-changing builds that he became really known for. Maybe, he was one of the first players to change the key binding on "Terran Infestation" instead of getting new keyboards each time T gets broken. Sure, I'm being sarcastic, but his success is more related to the race dominance. | ||

Vortix becomes slightly better than most Europeans and occasionally beats a Korean...it must be because the game is broken. Yep, good call. True innovation is rare in this game, I hate to break it to you. Why is hero innovative? Because he started using warp prisms after they got buffed? Wow, that's some serious innovation. I don't deny he is a great talent, but does that mean he should beat great foreigners 100% of the time? My God the bias is outlandish here. | ||

Are you actually implying that foreign Zergs do in fact practice way more than foreign P or T players? Its ridiculous what people will do to try and avoid accepting the truth. | ||
