DRG has been having an extremely tough time lately (Round of 4 and TAC3 ace match versus hero he didn't look like the best Zerg in the world that many people recognize him to be (or top 5 for that matter.) Also I know symbol and nestea both lost to kespa but I don't remember If both played toss or just one. even in Europe recently (WCS for Norway, Sweden, Denmark) only one Z was in the finals which was sortof and he played better than probably even he expected. 2 base timings are extremely hard to hold for Example in game 3 of DRG MC, MC was doing a 2 base attack with warp prism, DRG saw it coming, killed sentries as they were coming out of the prism and stopped his main from getting FOrce Fielded off and He still lost (as argueably the best player in the world.) just my modest opinion. DRG has been playing like a diamond leaguer lately (and before he started playing like crap I'm pretty sure he said he felt like he would always win if he didn't mess up in ZvP and ZvT) and Symbol has mostly been smashing everybody in the face (and if he hadn't got cocky he probably would have won the GSL). I wouldn't necessarily say it's Zerg favoured (although it has been until very recently) or that it's as easy as ZvT has become, but I'd much rather play Zerg than Protoss in that matchup. Protoss has been figuring out some great stuff recently so that people copying Stephano don't just win automatically, but IMO Zerg's just haven't figured out they can be maxed at 14 minutes with broodlords & infestors if Toss takes a fast third. Normal 2-base Toss timings are just a matter of controlling correctly, IMO, although I find the immortal-sentry all-in pretty tough to beat if it's not scouted (if you scout it it's much easier to get your units positioned fairly early to allow for a 3-way surround with ling-roach). 3-base play is just a matter of refining what is basically a Broodlord Rush. | ||

I laughed when Life said if you play standard ZvP you'll lose so you have to use tactics like 6 pool. Rofl. Zerg is the unstoppable race atm in my eyes | ||

So I use those kind of tactics frequently." well stephano thinks otherwise xD I agree, not to mention mr JonnyRecco taking down Naniwa. Zerg has figured out those 2 base timings so protoss= RIP. | ||

His series against Elfi was hilarious. It was like watching GSL Season 2 again! That is generally the case. It is odd that he has never been terrible against Protoss though. His overall ZvP record is pretty decent. | ||

Frankly I wish the scene consolidated a bit more so there aren't always a dozen bottom-feeder tournaments going on, but I guess that's like a minor league system? A BIT.....BY.....BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see what you did there | ||

On the one hand he says he has been playing badly and hopes to win more, on the other hand he completely looks down on foreign opponents + Show Spoiler [FXOpen invitational] + and then loses to BabyKnight and Lowely in the FXOI I also found that quite ironic. Another recent example would be NesTea, who stated stated that he lost against Snow because he expected him to play at a lower skill level. A lax attitude is easily punished. | ||

Become progamer then! I really liked these interviews with koreans, they were enlightening. I think koreans are very honest about their lack of knowledge of the foreign scene and how they felt during the games, and they are more free with giving their opinions because I' not sure if saying foreigners suck is really an insult from a korean perspective. Very good interviews. I wish someone would go thorzain mode and go mass thor vs toss and absolutely destroy them just for nostalgia. | ||
