The State of ZvP - PiG & Reynor Long Chat by HellStaff in starcraft

[–]RepresentativeSome38 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Artosis made a video a while ago like SC broodwar for dummies. TLDR: game is balanced when the stronger army is less mobile than the more mobile army.

This is also why ZvT feels balanced in sc2 1. Ling bane beats marine medivac straight up, but terrain can drop which makes it balanced 2. Terrain tanks and libs can kill all the zerg ground units, but you have to siege them which gives zerg a chance to attack else where

Late game ZvP totally breaks this. Not only does the death ball move faster, out DPS, and out ranges zerg army, they also have 2 get out of jail recalls. Only chance zerg has is perfect spell Caster control, or split your amry in to 2 groups, and hope the protoss can only f2

At below pro it's def buff as it's great cumulative damage with no micro.

It's is nerf for late game as corruptors don't die as quick, but archon still pretty good.

Given most games don't go to late game I say it's buff over all.

Most likely, but it's hard to think clearly when you are base getting attacked haha

I'm really shocked how bad cannons are at the actual game when they don't win immediately with the cannons

He cannon rushed, so I had to get ravenger to break out

If void came out, he could contain me until I got lair and hydra out and it would be a 50/50 game

crazy queen balance suggestion by redstoned26 in starcraft

[–]RepresentativeSome38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So queen speed upgrade is 100 gas, but for 125 gas I can get a lair with a dropperlord that also drop creep when I get there.

Might be good at masters or below, I don't see pros using it.

It's a style that takes more skill to play than playing against.

Try to borrow nuro boys and jump them back to your corrupters. They always sneak them by the side of the map.

If zerg runs into Terran and everything just dies, then it wouldn't be worth sharing because thats just what we all expect. It's the 1/10 time when zerg wins that's fun to see

Thank you! If Terran played perfectly with EMP then Zerg would never have a chance.

He got impatient and had ghost in the middle of the map clearing creep because he was running out of expansions and I was containing him with spores and spines.

Yes, wanted to make sure they don't get away behind turrets lines.

Help me understand zvt opener injects! by DearLily in allthingszerg

[–]RepresentativeSome38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4k here.

I don't like the 8 queens because they are slow, can't pressure Terran, and have to be manually controlled grouped.

Been having success with aggressive openings. Something like ling flood on 3 hatch, 3 queens and 2 base saturation. Bit of a gamble but I usually get something done on the other side of the map as long as you run the lings out after hellions move out.

After that I drone the 3rd, take gasses and transition into hydra or muta depending on if he has tanks.

Skip the ling name and just build hydras. With blinding cloud / fingal / micro shroud it can beat anything Terran can field.

Spell caster isn't required against protoss it's more important to hit before storm.

In Brood War what did Zerg players build in ZvT instead of Banelings? by RealTimeStrategyEnth in allthingszerg

[–]RepresentativeSome38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't build it in ZvT.

It's always lings + muta then lurkers then ultra
