TLO vs PainUser

TLO is so far ahead of the metagame its ridiculous. Look at the Swarm Host micro he is using in game 2:

Before suiciding the locusts into a tank line he has them stick around guarding the swarm hosts for around 10s. This gives enough time so that the instant they fully die on the next batch is ready to spawn. This removes the vulnerable window where the swarm hosts have no locusts on the field.

I haven't seen any other zergs doing this yet but I am sure it will become standard. Simply brilliant.



#2 dito. TLO is one of the most creative players I have ever seen. He brought out so many new tactics in the WOL beta and now look at this - simply amazing!!!



oh man these games are just so fun to watch.



zerg is so OP. the viper's yoink ability is silly



I love TLO too. Though he needed roaches early in game 2, I think PainUser would have crushed him if he hadn't fumbled his battle hellions.



I love swam hosts but I think the locust metagame needs to change. They do too much damage so fast then die and give zergs a vulnerability. They should have more health and last a little longer and cut back the damage slightly. Maybe even give back shooting air. That damage is just retarded. Would make having less SH better and better then having mass SH.



1080p looks like fucking shit on your stream, fix it, asshole.



HDStarcraft, but i can't afford a good enough card to capture my video. how about 480pstarcraft for your name?



Underdark, how about "annoying prick" for yours? You aren't entitled to anything.



+ TLO is awesome at innovating new strats
+ Seeing that many swarm hosts was so sick

- HD is still as annoying as ever and 50% of everything he says doesn't make sense and the other 50% are weird metaphors used to describe something obvious. Worst caster ever
- Painusers hellion control in game 2 was about on par with a bronze league player



well said #10. I'll add that the abduct ability is op. Especially when it's so easy to accumulate energy.




Sigh, I don't want to be mean, but these games would be so much more enjoyable were it not for HD's subpar casting. It hurts my brain :(



what happens if u tip those rocks over on an already constructed hatchery/CC/nexus?



#13 it happened in the game. it does 500 dmg or so to the base it falls on.



awful awful casting. Its obvious he watched the games before and then casted it after. He completely ruinedthe suspense.



HD is the worst caster in SC2. FACT.



What doing 20 tanks instead of 20 banshee vs that swarm.
i don't get it.
