It's the mechanics of the game dude

Zenio is a fucking sick player and would be raping this guy with any other race. Are you seriously blind?

He stopped the P from saturating his natural, stopped a 4th gas, killed his main nexus.

Oops I'm protoss and have units which nullify any advantage zerg gets (forcefield/collosus). Also the joke someone posted about zerg getting a early spawning pool to set himself behind... If he went hatchery he would have lost the game outright. Are you seriously this dense to not see that zerg is the weakest race? Close positions, the maps, maybe. Still zerg is seriously just not a good race in SC2.

Even when zerg got corrupters, he could not defend/push back even with a stupidly sick economy.

And while all of this was truly effective it did mean he wasnt building an army to counter the army of the Protoss, who was building an army which hardcountered the Zerg. If a protoss beautifully harasses with phoenixes but then the zerg finishes his hydra army and runs over the defending gateway units, is that beautifull play by the protoss? No, his harass didnt stop the deathball from comming and he didnt properly made the counters to the army.

Nony and Incontrol said it in some State of the Game podcasts, to give an example. Not disagreeing, TvP is pretty bloody balanced imo as well.

zvp is largely considered the least balanced in korea right now

And there goes another zerg. But as long as there are enough protoss to fight the terrans it's ok. Just don't want to be the last 2 rounds to be TvT only. *wrist*

Its obvious that Zerg lost because he didnt spread creep, no? Appearantly, its a much bigger mistake than losing your nexus.

The arguments keep getting more and more ridiculous.

When going mass hydra and attacking into Colo yep.

It is, in the context of the game.

non-korean protosses in general are horrible pvz. very few people can abuse it well- just watch some socke reps and compare it to just about any other protoss.
And then watch Tester and nexgenius.

Got to hand it to protoss. He played better in both games (yes in both). The phoenix harass was too much for Zenio and worked perfectly in this strat.

GG.

Kinda sad to see all the "zenio did some horrible mistakes" comments. He lost alot of hydras in the middle. But to be honest hydras are rendered useless when colossi enter the field. He had corruptors for the engagement in his own base, but even though they are supposed to hard counter the colossi, and even though Hongun didnt micro his colossi away or take down the corruptors, it took forever as you saw. Overcommitting on corruptors would also have killed him because of the large stalker army.
