I just watched Alicia's GSL game against Coca, and my question is: Does anyone think that slower warpgate tech has now opened up new timings for Zergs that allow them to either macro harder or attack weaker defenses than would have been possible prior to patch 1.3.3? | ||

In what way is impossible to tell exactly other than the raw numbers that changed. | ||

If someone wants to 4gate they still do it. | ||

I'm not sure that it opens up any aggression timings on the zerg part though, a close positions 3 roach rush might be harder to hold but that's really the only scenario I can think of. | ||

In game seconds. So thats roughly 14 seconds real time. If you then consider with chrono, you start to realize why 4 gate while weakened (on top of pylon range) certainly wasnt killed with the change. The game is a game of seconds, but this did not cause struggle or change all that much and thats the general consensus. | ||

Maybe it has something to do with the myth about koreans being amazing at refining builds, but not being very creative. Perhaps it will take the korean protosses some time to catch up. I'm not sure if this is true. I mean it was only a few weeks ago that on SOTG, all the tosses on there were complaining about PvZ. I think it's just a very volatile matchup that can be frustrating to alot of people. | ||

Classically Zergs have always had trouble with Protoss, especially in mid to late game (although the death ball hardly comes up as much as it used to since the infestor buff). IdrA's mantra is that "Zergs can't win against Protoss," but statistically I think the W/L ratio in PvZ has been favoring Z for a few weeks now. It's definitely nowhere near where it was when MC won two championships. I'm really just wondering if anyone else feels like 1.3.3 may have been a partially cause of this shift. We definitely see a lot more ling/roach all-ins than we saw pre-patch. And I don't know when the last time was I saw a Protoss cancel their nexus expansion and go all in on 4 gates... | ||

Tosses did amazing at dreamhack (8 of the 16 were protoss) and top 3 were protoss at the homestory cup. But in Korea protosses are struggling alot. | ||

I think it's just a very volatile matchup that can be frustrating to alot of people. There was a thread with a poll, where, among other things, people were asked which was their hardest matchup. A majority of Protosses said vs. Zerg was the hardest MU, and a plurality of Zergs said that vs. Protoss was their hardest MU. PvZ is frustrating for all involved. Here is the thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=234117 | ||
