I would love for there to be a change - Swarm Host costs 150/200 (from 200/200), costs 1 mineral to spawn two locusts, there's a "do not spawn" button that can be activated. You could also use that to active and trap enemy units, might be cool. Or to hide your swarm hosts if they're caught out of position and you want to hide / burrow them until the enemy leaves. | ||

Then again, those might be so bad they're good, but from a competitive viewpoint it was shit. Found the 1st one: | ||

I mean there are good long games. JD usually plays nice 40 minute ZvP's. And in my own personal experience games have been rather short compared to WoL. This is simply the huge equivalent of a boring WoL game where P has carriers and Z broodlords, or a boring BW PvT where P is trying to find a way to flank the Terran tank line. | ||

No. It is just Stephano's style. I don't see any games lately that play out this way other than stephano games. | ||

Zergs right now are showing great ways that you can use swarm hosts aggressively; Soulkey just crushed Flash in Proleague by using swarm host pincer attacks (attacking mech armies from the back with banelings while locusts eat the tank shots from the front). Stephano intentionally tries to make games last as long as possible. Amazing that he still has any fans at all, I guess (as IdrA and NaNiwa's careers demonstrate), if you're a foreigner who even has the slightest shot against Koreans (though let's be honest IdrA didn't even have that past early 2011), foreign fans will love you no matter how obnoxious you are. | ||

Idra had some emotional issues that snowballed from his inferiority complex of zerg since early wings of liberty, aside from that hes an interesting and cool guy. The stream peaked in viewers when the swarm host vs swarm host happened, it was HILARIOUS to see. Now, if this happened every game it would be a travesty, but that little bit to me was quite entertaining and I was hoping it would break the record. | ||

Maru vs Zest, Code S Ro16: It has already been posted in the op but it says that you need a subscription @Twich. So this should be watchable for everyone. | ||
