No more zerg in GSL - An in depth breakdown of imbalance

Strategies don’t exist in isolation, droplords and nydus have been nerfed since start of LotV so now protoss is safer to use twilight strategies where they used to favor stargate more.

Pulling league card when you’re in a lower league? Bold move cotton.

Lurkers “crazy” range. What range Siege tanks and Liberators have? Also tanks doesn’t need any upgrades and they are cheaper than lurkers. Tanks and libs are available at the 4th minute mark, meanwhile zerg usually has no hive until 10 minutes.

Hint: There are different regions(servers) and different profiles. I’m his level player so there is nothing he has to play this card out of me…

There is nothing safer for Protoss to go twilight when scouted it dies from ling flood, you don’t even need droplords or nydus(which was nerfed for 25 minerals?) while Wp was nerfed for 50 minerals.
Just scout what your opponent doing and you will see will you have an adepts or not.

You mean Zergs are not doing well in a SINGLE tournament over the past 2 years!?!?! Sound the alarm everyone, we gots to do something about this!

I’m not a T man, tanks and libs were inrroduced for the specific purpose. Same way Terran can say “I can’t have 100 speedlings till minute 4 as well as Protoss”. Or you can say I can’t harass with fast BC, this is an RTS and you need to scout and adapt.

Summon nydus nerfed from 50/50 to 75/75. Also cooldown nerf and loading speed nerf.
Warp prism +50 minerals. LOL. Robo got 50 minerals cheaper.

Ok wow, you obviously don’t know anything about the current meta. lol, lurkers suck and adept timings aren’t a thing? This is seriously plat level talk.

Protoss is doing glaive timing as they take their third and Zerg’s are struggling holding them without taking a ton of worker damage. Zest made it popular again at IEM when he beat Serral with them.

Ling bane ravager is the main comp Zerg’s are using, not hydras. You’re completely out of touch this isn’t even worth continuing.

It sounds like disaster 25-25 for not spamming multi nydus everywhere, nerf of the decade!

Ling floods only work if protoss screws up. Either you didn’t scout early pool build and went blind expo or you are so bad that you can’t hold a ling flood off 3 hatch…

100 speedlings at 4 minute, good joke man. Protoss has a wall with batteries, terran has hellions. Protoss had adept scout terran has reaper scout. Also zerg need every larvae to produce drones - if not - they are behind in economy. If the ling allin fails - which will fail for sure if scouted - then zerg is dead. The ling allin only works because its used rarely and terran/protoss does not expect/scout it at all.

I think I need to wipe your “Masters level speaking” out of you in a game. You are so arrogant and it seems you can’t even handle 2 gate adepts…

Alpha X tournament yesterday Zest vs Rogue…enjoy. You just have no idea how to fake third and go full ling flood even top Protoss has issues holding it. You think you level Protoss will handle it? :slight_smile:

P.S Even co-op diamond zerg did this to Parting on stream as well…

“Lurkers are good and adept timings don’t exist”

  • Forum whiners

“Fantasy” as always from a 17000 games low masters looser…
Adept timings exist for sure, they exist to punish greedy Zergs that never scout after they lost first overlord.
Lurkers were buffed thats all what I said, while Protoss got nerfs.

The stupidity of this forum is off the charts. I’m glad they brought the block feature back.

Lurkers were buffed. Also void rays were buffed. Guess what? It changes nothing. Why? Because noone uses them outside of your league.
The only thing was nerfed because of zerg is the pickup range of the prism with archon drops. So queens can damage the prism now. But guess what. Queen range is getting nerfed in the next patch.
Chargedzealot damage were nerfed mostly because terran ( however everyone pretty much agrees that they were just too good), just like the adept damage vs light, the oracle damage vs light, the colossus damage, the blink research time, the feedback dmg etc. Dont blame it on zergs.

Just go to Unit tester… Lurkers vs Immortals or Lurkers vs Bio… Lurkers got rekt, and not mentioned they r expencive, long tech path and requires 2 upgrade!

so you wanna tell us, that 600 games this season, 1,4k games in total isnt your main acc this season? “okay”. so either youre a complete no rl nerd, or youre lying. but even if this wouldnt be your main acc and you have somehow another acc… 600 games this season and still diamond?

Wow. some zergs have so much tears they can whine 2 days straight 0.o impressive. you can say about zergs what you want. their trait to evolve quickly is fascinating.

zerg is pretty op rn
