xSixSleep vs HerO

Game 1 the casters try for 10 minutes to figure out why hero's air harass (which was spotted immediately) was so successful. The truth is rather easy and they completely missed it. Zerg's anti air is garbage... Mystery solved



I love seeing Liquid Hero play, such a freakin solid player - PvZ can be really tough as well if you don't get early upgrades and scout enough!



well done by hero, sleep looked VERY scary!




Hero is very good. Painuser = HerpDerp



psyStorm suck!



Painuser = "its like crazy, like really crazy. Like seriously crazy, like really!" STFU



I've seen a number of games in the last few days where the Protoss has seemingly had an insane harass, killing so many queens, overlords, Zerg wastes tonnes of money on spores etc. Then Zerg just roflstomp them in the end. Seen it time and again.

Either these air harasses really aren't cost effective at all or Zerg is way OP.



it doesn't matter if the harass is pretty good if zerg gets 3 base early and makes a million drones. if you have 7 phoenix you can't have any other kind of harass/base killing, and the phoenix are trash once the actual battle comes



For the phoenix harass to be cost effective they have to harass-kill for much more than their own cost (since they indeed hardly do anything in a later stage), which is in itself already pretty high. Much more, because because zerg can drone up really hard because of the lack of any other pressure. So yeah, you have to kill quite a lot for it to be effective. Not saying that that's impossible though, sniping a 3rd base usually makes it pretty even.




Hero does more damage with stargate harass because he invests about 5x as many resources in stargate tech than most people, which works both because it has extra muscle and it's unexpected.

Also note how retardedly bad banelings are vs blink stalkers. They are good at one thing and one thing only: clearing sentries. That's actually really important, but putting 2K resources into banelings for a pitched battle does not make sense. +2 banelings are the most potent drop harass tech in the game (although unreliable - pulling probes cancels it completely) and Sleep didn't try it once. Also, I think there are obvious PvZ balance problems without infestors... but infestors are still in the game for now



Hell, when you have +2 melee zergling drops become unbelievably powerful. Even if the Protoss warps in zealots they get dropped insanely fast, you can take out Nexii in about 15 seconds, etc. Sleep played really well but I don't think he used all of the tools he paid for
