Holy heck, I don't think Tastosis noticed but [spoiler below] . . . . . . . . . in game 7 Soulkey ran his lings down that lane in the middle in view of HerO's overlord, then (02:06:43) went off to the left, looped back toward his own base and ran down the middle again, possibly making HerO think even more lings were coming

@@miqotesoulia8620 dont forget scourge. I am also not such a big fan of TvT because most the times they only make 2 marines and then switch totally into mech (like most TvP games but there are at least a few marines all in). However these games are at least longer. Most diverse games are Zerg vs other races. They should add a new resource research depending on the race you fight. for example buffing hydralisks/spores ONLY when fighting zerg.

Fun map idea for ZvZ - if the game starts with two zerg players, a trigger is set on the map to auto spawn a spore colony in the base and natural for each player. I feel like this could be a safe and fun way to try and explore more late game ZvZ matches without any outrageous map designs

3 Zergs in top 16, 2 in the finals. Ridiculous, but both these players completely deserve to be here. But now that this happened, he has to go for 3 and become the true legend. Absolute mind of steel, you just can't shake this guy in a series.
