I doubt people are saying the game isn't better balanced now, most people just feel that the zergs shouldnt relie as heavily on infestors. Atleast to me, it feels kind of silly that a unit which is supposed to be a "support" unit ala HT / Sentry / medivac suddenly composes the entirety of the army. Yup, I would feel the same way about a pure raven army if that - somehow - became a problem, with my BW tinted glasses, it feels like someone only making vessels or only making defilers or the toss equivalent, only making HT's, not as commonly seen (I dont feel the same way about colossus, dont ask me why). But as a whole, sc2 people seem to dislike the "deathball" concept | ||

GL beating the rest of the Z in here (really.. all of my luck is sent to you) uhh are you trying to troll or something? DRG is not trash. Unless you think every other Zerg not named Leenock or Life is trash too, considering they are the only ones who could be considered better right now. On topic... I am shocked that both Zergs are out but super happy :D Protoss in R08 and Ryung is always entertaining. | ||

I am shocked that both Zergs are out but super happy :D Protoss in R08 and Ryung is always entertaining. i guess it's trolling to think that a player has been overrated and isn't up to par with other zergs.. i mentioned dark, esf zergs, hyun, shine, etc. i think they are better players. i think i counted like 5 or 6 supply blocks on the game vs ryung on whirlwind. he drone scouts on CK, sees its a proxy 2 rax and lose anyways. sorry but that's not code s play imo. spends money on 10 lings and a spine so is completely safe then pulls everything again to attack a few marines and a bunker that isn't even close to in range of his hatchery. lol. its okay to think DRG is washed up man, it's not trolling. maybe trash isn't the right word considering he's a trillion times better than the avg SC2 players, but he is playing code b quality games.. edit: forces a cancel on drgs 3rd with 6 marines because drg threw all those lings away doing nothing and then doens't OL scout to see his follow up? come on.. lol.. | ||

They whine about infestors and Zerg's playstyle, composition. Not because Zerg win a GSL and MLG or anything. It just the way they play it and FG, ITs make other races feel useless. | ||

The other races only started to whine when win rates became even. no, imho the other races started to "whine" when the queen and OL buff were arbitrarily made despite 50% winrates in the matchup (zerg at 48. something % win). after that, TvZ and PvZ winrates went to an historic low (lower than the zvt rates ever were, even in the pre-blue flame, pre bunker, pre 11/11 nerfs) and the midgame phase of XvZ pretty much disappeared. SG/banshee play became a lot weaker and creepspread became an aggressive thing instead of a "connect all of my bases" thing at this point i think removing these changes (especially both) would be a bad move, but if you really think the other races just started crying because zergs suddenly started winning their equal share of games you're just spreading misinformation. their winrates in april/may were 50% or within 3-4 points either way. | ||

He's the Code S champion GSL deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So he'll never reach the Ro8 because he can take it. Because he's not the champion; he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. The Code S Reader. | ||

The winrates only stayed high for like a month before Terran figured it out again. Protoss win-rates did not go to a historic low. They were at their lowest in november or so of last year. We have been around 50-50 since the patch as far as tournament representation and win-rates. This GSL is the first big tournament where zerg has been so overrepresented and as I pointed out above a lot of those advancements were based on single games. | ||
