At 11:40 that was the worst decision the zerg could make. Quick lets charge into a tiny choke when I know he has Sentry's to split my army and a obvs to see my burrowed units. CHARGE!!!
WTF was dimaga thinking? Did he ever scout? He could have easily defended against the first wave of phoenix if he just moved his overlord down between 5 and 6 minutes. And later he just could have scouted with an overseer to see the colossi tech, so he would have had corruptors in time. Very bad play, completely one sided...
Im a zerg player. I dont think protoss are that OP... I just dont like the forcefields, since their giving the protoss player the map advantage all the time :(
Spore crawlers need a smaller build tim to deal with protoss and how fast they can get out Pheonix and god, what are they called, the other protoss air unit with the charging laser, brainfart making me look bad but you guys get my point.
IMO Zerg metagame is too greedy at the moment. Zerg players never play safe and when they start to Zerg will be incredibly hard to deal with.
Zerg take the idea of maximum possible macro a bit too far and try to barely scrape by with just enough defense/army. They need to skew towards the army a bit more by default and I think they'll find it easy to keep their economy equal to their enemy while matching them on the battlefield.
And so many opinions about the name, lol. Then just spell his name Crota: S.O.C.K.E
Imagine in a fight: "...and S.O.C.K.E is going to atk, i mean S.O.C.K.E is already atking cuz i spoke too slow, oh wait i mean S.O.C.K.E had already finished off his opponent and won the game 10 seconds ago because i was too busy spelling his name..." XD
@AlduinWorldEater technically, and i hate to get all grammar on you, but if you're pronouncing it as if it were english, it would be "Soak"because the "e" would make the "o" long. But im not sure if your saying to pronounce it as english or as german :P
@Dasconscripts Yeah, I agree with you. We know that they're trying their best to adjust the balance, no race is OP. Still, people keep saying about those OP thingy. How boring. :(
@blacksuntgl Zerg needs hydras to be put back into tech one. Queens are NOT enough to take care against an air rush. And if Hydras are put to tech one, hell, move roaches to tech two
@WoWHaZ51 If protoss is op then can you explain me why theres 2 zerg players rank 1 and 2 in the world most compeive starcraft league GSL code S. In total theres 9 zerg, 9 protoss and 14 terran. Thats balance.
@Pass91 You need 4 shooting pheonix for 1 gravaton kill, but 3 can take it down to like 30hp and then you get a second for the kill. I can usualy snipe a queen with my first 3 because it will be such a surprise unless they opened with 3 queens ;)
Oh and also, you shouldnt time it for 5 because they will have a lair by then if u open with stargate so you should make it fast and painful
@Kayokak Yeah however I always stick to the English pronunciations because you are talking in English. The English version translated into just 'sock' like on your foot. If you want to say Zoekay then speak German with it so its within context. Of course thats just my personal preference but seems like that makes the most sense.

So that roaches would never be used instead of hydras... Plus, early hydra rush would destroy any other race.

4:03 Do you need 4 or 5 Phoenixes to destroy one Queen with one Graviton Beam?
My calculation: 5 dmg per shot, Queen has one armor, cooldown of a shot: 1,11s:
(4Dmg*2)/1,11s=7,2 dps (damage per second).
3 Phoenixes: 21,6dps...Queen has 175 HP --> 8.1s for 175 dmg (fourth Pheonix uses graviton beam!).
Graviton Beam lasts 10 sec --> 4 Phoenixes are enough.
Did I make a mistake?
