    Just damage makes it essentially storm, right? That's boring :P

    I feel like it just being a rooting spell woul be too weak. But then again, I'm Zerg therefore biased :D

    I never know what's going to come out of Clutch's mouth when he goes into his "THIS...IS..." mode.

    I feel like he doesn't either.

    It seems the biggest lynchpin in the Zerg army being so strong late game is Fungal Growth. What if the ability didn't stop and damage but rather did one or the other? Would it completely wreck the games balance in favor of P or T?

    at this point, it would ruin the game for zerg.

    balanced around it and whatnot... like what if you took FF's away, or Warpgates? You'd have to rebalance everything else.

    Zerg would more or less die every time to an endless midgame-and-on blink stalker grind if fungal growth were no so dumb.

    Terrible corner to have designed one's self into.

    MLG stream is messing up for me all of a sudden.

    EDIT - I'll have to try the 40 Infestor build sometime. Nobody in Bronze uses Ghosts.

    Life has the best ling control in the world, period. He has some supernatural sense when it comes to knowing when to backstab and how to split his lings to hit multiple places at once.

    Before this mlg is over, I feel like I must say this. Clutch is wearing the most ill-fitting suit in the world. It looks like it was designed for someone who weighs 300 pounds. It makes him look like a goddam clown.

    Life and Leenock are my two favorite zergs of the month, but damn I hate roach infestor zvz ...

    I guess in a BO7 it's going to happen eventually, but that's such a good map for unconventional zvz mid game

    I believe he said that 200 miles is bigger than England. Which, I dunno, I'm pretty educated, but the tiny scope of Europe always kind of shocks me.

    Don't know what you're talking about. Even though the games are short, it's nail-bitingly close each time. Most entertaining ZvZ series I've seen in a long time as well.

    I find the coin flippiness of it impossible to enjoy. "Oh the pool was slightly later, so this player is winning!" and that theme continues throughout the whole match. I'd much rather watch TvP or TvZ. Even PvZ.

    The final game in an epic bo7 series to finish off this MLG...is on Tal'darim fucking Altar.

    Guys guys, what are the top three matches / series this MLG would you say?

    Wanna pull up some VODs for the barcraft.

    Bomber vs Scarlett?

    Eh.

    It's sort of coin-flippy initially, but it literally takes one mistake and the tables can turn completely. Like, give one of these pros half the latency Dhal has, and they'd lose every time :P.

    Bomber vs. Scarlett, definitely. The first Flash vs. Life series (not the extended one).

    What was the first game Scarlett played vs a Terran? Where she forgot about a big group of lings and lost because of it.

    Yeah. That is boring to me. It's exactly the same to me as the Vortex part of PvZ. Whether it's the same to other people or not is whatever, clearly you all are enjoying it! But I can't get into it.

    So its boring if a coinflip causes an advantage for one player, but it is also boring if that advantage can be lost through a mistake.

    What?

    I mean. Huge mistakes are one thing. But split second control things aren't that interesting to me.

    I didn't come in here saying no one should like this, geez :P

    How did Leenock botch that so badly? o_O

  • TannerMSTannerMS "I'm confidence cause I'm zerg!" Registered User regular
    He held well and then he proceeded to make every single possible wrong decision for the rest of the game

  • 3cl1ps33cl1ps3 I will build a labyrinth to house the cheese Registered User regular
    Leenock how do you lose that game. What.
