Not sure what to make of the rise of Zerg right now. Is it balance, or is it that Terran and Protoss need to rethink builds/strats. By numbers we can say that Zerg is very strong right now. I have heard on multiple interviews of pros that Broodlord/infestor is really strong and tough to beat. Looking at GSL, WCS and the rest of 2012 tournaments have all Zerg groups/so many zergs.

But again, SC history has eras of Zerg being dominant, Terran being dominant and Protoss being dominant. I think we need to wait a little bit more.

When has the Zerg dominance started? Like 6 months - 1 year?


Oh look, someone who actually has a fucking brain rather than crying QQ IMBA all the time.
Thank you for finally voicing what has needed to be said for so long. Just because what you used to do doesn't work anymore doesn't mean that a race is broken. Try altering your approach.

I never lose PvZ, doesn't mean there isn't something fundamentally overpowered about Zerg.

Zerg has been broken since the beginning.

The concept of being able to have your entire end game economy ( 70-80 drones on 3 base ) in the first 10 minutes of the game and your opponent not being able to stop you ADDED to the fact that you actually have the strongest end game ( BL / INF ) makes the race broken and simple to play. You have to either get lucky with an all in or completely outplay your opponent to win.

Throw in the broken Larva mechanic ( hands down the best 'macro mechanic' of the three races ), creep spread ( map hack ), and the strength of their all ins + end game, it's obvious why Zerg is amazing.


man, zerg all-ins are tenacious

this response has been beaten to death .............. you could apply this "head in the sand" logic to anything and appear rational. Except the fact of the matter is, T/P are almost limited to starting the game at 10 minutes ........ anything sooner than that gets auto shut-down. Hellion cloakshee is the only exception .. coming in at a record breaking 9 minutes



Meanwhile zerg has potential to 2base all-in (nearly guarantees SCV kills and natural lift, even when the T expects it and completes 2 more bunkers prior to the all-in) and deny all scouting while doing it. Stephano ZvT for instance, guaranteed damage barelling down the front with a build order. There are only so many permutations of openers from T ..... and I'd wager that we've found most of them

I honestly believe that T or P v Z just needs time, because I feel like soon enough, there will come a build that will counter broods and infestors. Denying scouting is the main way for Protoss to do well in my opinion...Keeping the Zerg in the dark is the best way :)

If you flame me i will post a picture of george cloony in a bikini

its been 2 years, there's nothing suggesting this is the case






and even if it were, to revert the queen buff wouldn't change this at all ... just mean the zerg doesnt get a free 60 drones from t = 0
