For people who's interested, the Chinese hero was 趙雲 "Zhào Yún" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_Yun , a famous general in the "Three Kingdoms" period. He was a favorite character of many readers in historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", just as Zoun quickly become many people's favorite protoss player.

Yeah the Special series was kinda meh too. Overall these were pretty one-sided games, which is never great for casting.

Zest and Special was my favorite, both of them look so great.

I've seen Special throw a good advantage so many times by just taking everything and going on the other side. He had the advantage, why did he pull everything AGAIN?

[@simonriley8597]

pulling everything wasnt the problem, it was making a single mistake as a terran costing him the whole game unlike the other two where you can make a hundred mistakes in a game and your still ok, he wasnt sieged for a moment and he ust died in a game he was owning, 1 mistake kills terrans

[@unknownperson-fw9rx]

@@simonriley8597 1 mistake and an army getting destroyed is normal for SC2, look at Harstem's recent game against Clem, he was doing well until one mistake pretty much cost him the game. It's not about race.

[@simonriley8597]

@@unknownperson-fw9rx Everyone knows that losing an army sucks obviously, the problem is what happens after that, what do you do afterwards? Obviously you holdout and replenish but what do you fall back to? As zerg remaxing 200 supply is super simple so long u dont screw up hitting a button on a hatchery, with toss you have Bat Overcharge nd chrono as well as recall to fall back behind with a line of shield bats that cost no supply, as a T what do you fall back to? A PT? lol dont make me laugh, Bunker? only works when supplied.

[@taragnor]

Zergs need to learn more aggression. Especially in ZvP, it has always been just a basic plan that Zerg just had to defend and hold off the toss, since Zerg had a big edge in the late game. Now that late game is more balanced, Zerg needs to start thinking about more aggression in the midgame. Also the way most Zerg play the late game is kind of terrible as well. Why no nydus network to bounce around the map? They basically just build a wall of spores and sit there waiting to die. Against a slow army like skytoss, they should be trying to constantly outmaneuver it. And really, why not make more corruptors? I feel like it's such an underestmated unit. Those things should be active around the map wrecking buildings. Nexuses, tech structures, etc. Assuming you can avoid storm and archons, both of which are slow, corruptors will dominate.
