StarCraft 2 - SC226 - DIMAGA (Z) vs Strelok (T) on Steppes of War

[xGundamz]

Dimaga shouldnt have expanded, he should have went baneling.

[digital86punk]

roaches would be more than enough - no banelings, no mutas, just roaches ftw :=)

[Slummob]

freaking MM(&M) ball -.-

HATE IT

All Zerg's should follow CheckPrime's play, just micro banelings and Infestors like crazy

[GoldenZealot21]

@Slummob

Problem is Terran Mech >>> Terran Bio in TvZ. Terrans are dumb for going MMM against Zerg. It rapes Protoss a lot worse.

[GoldenZealot21]

Except on a push of course. But straight up MMM against Zerg past the early game is retarded.

[shredingdude]

If the zerg had scouted more he could have made 1 or 2 spine crawlers, and maybe even some bannelings, instead of teching to mutas.

[pissoff57]

The commentator is so annoying. He was getting so jacked from this gameplay that he started frothing at the mouth.

[aRcTiCiZe1]

@stephnsiemens wow...Crota has a wife and daughter....I bet he already got some....

[HappyRogueStatus]

terran is OP... just a bit, it's mostly balanced.. but terran is OP

[emperor1994]

@HappyRogueStatus your stupidity is OP

[MikaTamni]

Go Terrans! :D

[Dalle89]

looked funny when the overlord licked the courser at 2:25 :P

[CurtisSpiers]

really well done, stupid of the zerg player to just fast expand + make no base defence - are you asking to get rushed? when he had no idea what was going on in the terran base... zerg play can become very predictable unfortunately.

[ExPyro85]

This is what i call pros!

[XSm0k3X]

How to beat one of the strongest Zerg players in the world currently:

-Make 3 rax (2 tech lab 1 reactor)

-Make a bunch of t1 units

-Push and win the game a few minutes later.

No way zerg would have been able to prepare for this without knowing Strelok went 3 rax but how could he have possibly known? Sending an ovie to it's death that early in the game is a large investment considering he might not even see anything if spotted and focused down by a group of marines real fast.

[ronkrepps]

@XSm0k3X Quick expo, No spine crawlers, and he didn't scout, it was a big gamble to do that and he lost.

[maitrekenshin93]

he needed muta banelings -_-, just imagine 5-6 banelings.... , obviously the MM ball could stim and kite them but with a decent zergling surround, kaboom!

[Bakujin619]

Zerg are more underused than they are underpowered.

Because of that less people are finding counters and new BOs.

TERRANLOL

as a zerg player I feel disgust seeing this ....

[Covrig4132]

@FelekisGR You sincerely believe there was nothing the Zerg player could have done? That's laughable.

[TheXPOHuK]

Strelok mean Shooter, he is Russian player. One of my favorite plyer in Russia.

[Yubel0]

As a mid Diamond level zerg (654 points), I dont really think that they are too underpowered at all. Most of my losses against terran have been from bad scouting and bad unit compositions. The only boost I would like to see out of the zerg is a slight buff to the roach, with it getting 4 range instead of just 3.

[Forgiv3n777]

Great gameplay i just feel that zerg should be given a unit thats more 1.5 T and the roach is that but they are so easily countered by the mauraders it sometimes seems unbalanced for the zergs.

[gatoman46]

marine power!

[shalkana]

Zerg needs some sort of a boost. They really suck in general if they dont go for a strong tech build

[sweeperisback]

@shalkana agreed. I play zerg, but I'm nowhere near good enough for imbalances to really matter too much. There's something to be said about how the zerg have something like a 15 or 20% smaller win rate than terran.

But I certainly think it would help if the zerg just tried some newer strategies too...

[MegaDUMBNAME]

@sweeperisback Actually what you just said gave me an idea that I haven't seen used yet. Massed ghosts w/ snipe vs zerg.

[kleash]

@MegaDUMBNAME

Good luck sniping zerglings.

[MegaDUMBNAME]

@kleash Right click snipe :P.

[MegaDUMBNAME]

@kleash And i think ghosts deal 20 vs light and lings only have 35 hitpoints.

[Azylath]

@sweeperisback Pretty difficult for Protoss and Zerg to try new T1 opening builds. Terran are the more diverse in T1. However, in T2 it evens out with all 3 races. However, on the Korean side of things Zerg seem to be dominating. So, I dunno where you got that 15% or 20% smaller win rate idea.

[Joxer512]

@shalkana Zerg should get their Lurkers back again, it currently feels as if "alot" of zerg units have been left out, units that were hard and easy to get counters to their opponents, Lurker, Scourge, Defiler...

All very good against certain tactics Terran employs.

[MetalGuard3]

@Joxer512

It would be nice to see them back, and for all we know Blizz may be intending to bring them back in the zerg expansion. But since Hydras are now a T2 unit, it won't be as effective and accessible as early as they were in brood wars. Just speculating though.

[virusavatar]

Very skillful by the terran player using mass overpowered un-upgraded tier1 units and cheap bunkers to waste a base with teir2 units. Very balanced.

[fishinguy271]

@virusavatar Yeah he had 5 tier 2 units in his base while being swarmed. Zerg can easily do this soer of thing with baneling busts as well. This is more of a clever timing push as he had both stim and shields complete when he started the attack. zerg saw the attack comming but failed to make spines.

[joshuastreetfighter]

very nice, crota!

[homm87]
