Rogue vs TY

damn the swarm



They just buffed 2 core units on them. Surprised we don't see 4 Zergs in the top like we did in 2012.



which ones and how? i tried to find it online but the vast desert known as the internet defeated me



Hydras and banes got 10 health each (couple months back).

May not sound like much, but imagine Marines with 7 base damage instead of 6. They'd rip through everything and no games would go past 10 min.



Swarm Hosts seem broken. Every time a Zerg player gets to that stage, they win. So far I've watched most BlizzCon games and I have yet to see late game Zerg fail to win, even against top players such as Hero and TY.






If only that were the entirety of the problem. Queens and speedlings hold everything in the early game with little gas and larva investment, allowing for maximum drone production. Then Hydra-Bane rules the mid game, vipers completely counterbalance the hydra, making up for all of its weaknesses. Through in some now-cheaper swarm hosts for quick and easy base snipes without risking anything but a cool down.



@bournekillah: Gotta love that totally not one-sided perspective... xD



@Yeld then give me another one? Why was a foreign Zerg favored over Gumiho, a recent GSL champ? Why are so many foreign Zergs so successful?

Zerg definitely needed a buff, but again, they double buffed CORE units (Hydra, ling, bane, roach). What if they buffed marines and marauders? And the Swarm Host is by almost anyone's perspective just shit unit design. Most Zergs I talk to don't even think it's worth a shit. They almost all say something to the effect of "I don't even like winning like that, but it is there."
