Quite surprised nobody bring up how Taeja's 4 skill mines wiped out Curious's flock of 20+ mutas in 0.1 second.
Oh wait. There was 1 muta remaining.

Well, at least I can skip the league.

Funny thing is, the qualified zergs have no chance against more than half of the Terran column even with a balanced game. Solar, Dark, ByuL and Rogue? Would you really put them on par with Maru, Innovation and Flash (and others imo, but I'll just mention those 3 since those aren't debatable ;D)?
Only Soulkey has proven himself top class.


Serious? Solar outdid Soulkey in results this year. He deserves to be considered a top-tier Zerg.

As for Dark, ByuL, and Rogue, they're all likely candidates to be breakout Zergs in the near future.

I'm actually not disappointed in the challenger league Zerg lineup at all. All of the best Zergs qualified minus soO and DRG. Leenock is the only surprise.


Yup. I wouldn't even call Rouge a break-out player. He has been pretty darn strong in proleauge at times and has many great results to his name in the last half year. At this point, very few exceptions aside, he is only losing to the very best players in the world while beating same ones at many occasions:
Zest, herO, Parting, Solar, Flash to name some of the who-is-who in Korean Starcraft he has beaten lately. If he improves his ZvZ that guy has it in him to go far very soon.

At least call them winner mines or whiner mines if you want to make it stick!

People seem to think I said that ByuL, Dark and co are bad players. They're obviously good players. They're also obviously not of the caliber of the 3 Terran players I mentioned. And there are several more Terrans in that qualified list that are of at least a similar skill level. "Candidates to be breakout Zergs in the near future" does not equal "top class" to me.

My mistake on Solar though, he did beat really good players.

My point was actually that in eras where a race is massively underpowered, you don't see "breakout players" of the weakest race. So yeah, I don't consider the SSL qualifiers a proof that Zerg is massively underpowered and that it's a TvT fest like I've read. Some decent and really good players qualified, from the 3 races, it happens that they are a bit fewer of Zergs, so maybe Zerg is a bit unfavored right, but that's about it. It's absolutely not at the level of imbalance of a 1-1-1 vs Protoss era or a "BL-infestor" vs everything era.

I'm doing a psych paper right now, and this thread is a fucking cognitive biases gold mine from all races.

For the sake of productive discussion, please stop it with the hyperboles.

Don't think you need any education to understand that there is a lot of confirmation bias going on here. Everyone agrees on that, that the people that don't agree with them are biased, and a fair few acknowledge that they are biased themselves.

Question is, which are the hyperboles, and which aren't? Try figuring that out in an unbiased way!

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I'm confused. There are no more changes, currently? It's not really much of a nerf either...

It changes quite a bit since a single widow mine will no longer kill Sentries and Hts with splash and you need 1 more hit to kill zealots with splash too. I like that they stick with this small change and will instead adjust the maps for even better balance.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The main target damage is the same, just the splash damage is different.
