      The only thing imba about the second match is how long Harstem was able to hang on, 100% thanks to battery overcharge! Ok, half kidding, he played it well, but the overcharge just felt so absurdly clutch!

      @@Amoeby it used to be, now it's pretty much just good in defends and even then, you need like 8 queens to keep units slightly alive against a strong push. Overcharge keeps a few units alive for a full 14 seconds. Also, if you transfuse to no energy, you can't inject and risk ending up unable to morph in units..
      All in all, transfuse is about equivalent to shield battery. Shield doesn't take supply, queen is mobile if on creep. Overcharge is op.

      I played against him a few years ago. Messaged him not knowing who he was because I wanted to learn from a grandmaster. He accepted my friend request. I told him I wanted to become master's one day and he said he'd be waiting so we could play together. Super nice dude. For context I was playing as zerg and just gold 2 lol

  • @GabrielSantosStandardCombo

    Re Creep: What Meomaika's calculated is that the Queen energy is needed for larvae. If he makes an extra queen it slows down the attack. Overlord poop is enough to connect the bases. Brilliant.

    Shield batteries are really OP in pvz... you can more easily use shield batteries offensively now than zerg can use queens offensively. Because just to get creep on the other side of the map you need lair tech, for toss you only need cyber which is always a part of your early game build.

      It only looks overpowered when used correctly. Harstem is just one of the best in the world with disruptors. I'd say easily top three.
      For most people, it's not nearly as effective. You can't say a unit is overpowered if it takes a great deal of skill to use effectively.

      stfu braindead, zerg is the weakest race, so what should he do ? Politely wait for his opponent to max out to finally attack ? Keep your two digits IQ for yourself. Meo is lazy and right to be. What's the point for zergs to sweat their @ss off in long macro games only to end up being steamrolled by deathballs cause your untis are garbage ? He wanna win in the early stages while zerg is still viable cause after it just becomes imba, mechanically too demanding and rarely rewarding, which is just not worth it when you have a brain and a life
