But that no major tourmant has had a Terran in the finals for this long seems a bit unlikely given perfect balance. Given perfect balance and equal skill in all MU! This is quite hard - we can have a beast in TvZ but a loser in TvP(or vice versa). Which kinda screws the argument(though I'm not saying it's perfectly fine). | ||

When it was next to Rogue or when he tried to lift it, it covered all of his upper body from his waist to his head. That thing is so massive I wouldn't be surprised if it's weighing 15-20kg. Try lifting that above your head without struggling when you don't work out. So yeah, getting a good grip of it and lifting it might definitely be a bit difficult for quite a few. | ||

No one asking for one late game solution... but whatever.... But pvz is fucking silly right now. We could argue that it's because new patch came out right before IEM,everything was new so bogus 4-0'd stats with cyclones meme is understandable. This final was boring as hell despite huge patch came out for a while.And the issues is still the damn same early game issue.Dont get angry but I think Rogue is still patchzerg and this huge patch is just another patch for him. Dark and soO are still one level above him but jin air players are very good at exploiting things and it is thier trademark since HOTS. Gotta run xD | ||

You're missing the point of what I said entirely. Obviously each mistake you mentioned is uncorrelated to the points I mentioned. Rather than explain in another way, I'll say something different. Now that zerg have speedy drop overlords which can travel faster than unboosted medivacs, do they need to have nydus networks that are un-targetable before opening? | ||

Gotta run xD Well, you just don't want to admit Rogue played better. Nothing related to balance. And you have suddendly forget than soO loses versus Harstem, Losira/TLO/Ragnarok vs Patience, Dark vs Trap, Impact vs Dear, Serral vs Classic, and the result is 50% winrate on PvZ on this tournament. Rogue was 11-0 on ZvP, he hasn't lost a single map vs Protoss in IEM, because he is a beast on ZvP, but the other zergs are not. Serral has even beateb Rogue, but it hasn't stopped him to lose 0-3 vs Classic. On March 06 2018 06:37 KR_4EVR wrote: You're missing the point of what I said entirely.

Overlord with speed : 2.6 Medivac without boost : 3.5... Ok I admit I was remembering the wrong number (from Overseers (4.7)). Still, If you take average distance to average time, incorporating the fact that medivacs are unavailable until Tier-3, overlord drops can be much earlier than medivac drops. | ||

Drop Ov: spawning pool, ev.chamber = 2 buildings Medivac: barracks, starport = 2 buildings so you're saying Medivac is late tech while Droperlord is early tech?? | ||

Zerg drops are also far less cost-efficient than Terran drops until much later in the game, though. 8 stim marines will do far more damage than 8 zerglings or 4 roaches. Edit: Also calling a Starport Tier 3 is LAUGHABLE, it's Tier 2 at most, more like Tier 1.75, considering that a Spire is T2 and there is absolutely no way to get one of those out before even Starport + Research tech such as Cloak Banshees. | ||

You forget that while zerg starts with overlord, terran has to build supply depot before barracks. Path to 2 drop overlords: spawning pool, extractor, overlord, evo chamber, morph. Cost = 450 minerals, 50 gas, 3 drones (ignoring the cargo) Path to 2 medivacs: supply depot, barracks, orbital command, factory, reactor, starport, 2 medivacs. Cost = 1025 minerals, 450 gas, lost mining time on scvs building stuff (ignoring the cargo) None of these can realistically be skipped. I have yet to hear a legitimate argument for why zerg needs drop overlord before lair tech. Why, even ravagers can be morphed before Lair. It's not like there aren't options. | ||
