Just keep it the way it is (few lings into muta every single game) or break the cycle and make other things viable in the matchup? Maybe the team wants to preserve the BW feel where only JaeDong will be able to win consistently. | ||

You could try going into a Starbow channel (EU and NA both have them set up with lots of players looking for games) and asking others to observe games they may play. Reminds me of the 1v1 play/obs days back in BW ^_^ | ||

Crank and Kangho were streaming also, maybe there are records of the broadcasts on their channels, | ||

it is the other way around. It lasts 6 seconds instead of 4. | ||

The matchup feels incredibly bad currently, though, I believe if mutas would be pushed back or maybe even completly pushed out of the matchup it would have extreme potential... lurker/hydra wars with overseer/scourge/viper support... (just theorycrafting, no clue how it would really play out) mutas seem very strong in every match-up though | ||

But in ZvZ you are basically left with your own mutalisks and some scourges, since hydras only have 5.43 dps against them. (less than a single marine without stim (6.52dps) for basically double the money) Like, the list of Zerg antiair units is: Queen --> needs to be enraged, can't really be used offensively, strongly limited amount hydralisk --> explosive damage is very weak vs mutas; and needs at least the speed upgrade (and probably the range upgrade) to be of any use against mutas scourge --> ok to trade vs mutalisks, but can be outmicroed and forces you into similarily timed spire play as well; mutalisk defiler --> comes way to late devourer --> comes way to late Like, just the theory how to deal with mutalisks in the midgame as Zerg isn't even there, compared to Protoss who have stalkers and corsairs. Or Terran with marines and goliaths. Tuning the mutalisk down may be the right choice for the other matchups, but Zerg needs something fundamental if ZvZ "macro" should ever stop to be just about mutalisks. | ||

Just because it was in BW doesn't mean it can't be improved, ZvZ was lame and repetitive in BW. Starbow <> SC2BW | ||

Regardless of whether or not he played BW, I think he's addressing a legitimate concern Starbow should be looking at. The point of Starbow wasn't to remake BW but to create an expansion to BW which allowed more options ('Additional content for a broader metagame"), and right now ZvZ appears to not be much different from how it was in BW. | ||
