    We saw so much of this with the short stint of protoss gateway centric play what was.. I can only imagine was atleast a year ago at this point and I was quite sad to see how it never really caught on, but I definitely think theres so much lost potential in deviating from the general race playstyles that are so entrenched in the meta at the moment. Seeing Reynor really push the flexibility of protoss units to the limit and play so agressively into the lategame gives me so much hope for breaking some of the more boring macro game habits.
    It also makes you think, how much of matchup is playstyle as much as actual race. This game in particular gives me serious 'I hate ZvZ' vibes, purely because Serral did not seem very happy with the relentless agression from reynor. (Although it was a ton of fun to watch! Lovely cast!)

    "Terran and Protoss trade more cost efficiently in split map scenarios" - Not necessarily true. Zerg is the only race that has free units - the locusts and the other small bugs of the flying flap-flaps, forgot what they're called. Zerg can wear down T or P without spending a single mineral in the late game. Ask Lucifron, that's how he lost the world finals.

    i really love reynors playstyle here.. of course the map allows it and you cant play it like that on every map, but i love the upgrade heavy style he played here.. it allows him to switch constantly without arriving with sub-optimal units. often protoss goes either ground or golden armada leaving out a vital point of their army line up. as we can see with terran, going from bio to a mech-switch with mixed in bio works out really well, so why not do it with protoss. having 150APM more than the average toss-pro definitly helps as well. i hope some of the toss-players are looking at that and will go "darn, i need to step up my game ASAP"

    Another thing I started to see at Pro Level Zerg play is the absence of Banelings.
    Even though I am currently a Protoss player, I acknowledge that the Baneling had a huge impact on the evolution of the Zerg race in the 25 year old Starcraft.
    I think that everyone agrees with me that taking away that +5 HP upgrade was a blunder made by the Balance Council, and it should be repaired ASAP.
    I recently tried early game Adepts in PvZ. It's not even allin. You literally destroy Baneling openers for Zerg. You take the 3rd and the 4th without suffering any harassment and kill the Zerg 3rd at the same time.
    By the time the Zerg swithes to Roaches or Mutas, it's practically game over. Two rounds of Stalkers warpins are just the cherry on top (if needed).
    Idk if Serral ever considered Banelings in this match, but it looks like he didn't.
    Baneling play was already struggling in ZvT before the Balance Council nerfs.
    So I completely understand Reynor and the other Zergs' complaints. They are absolutely justified.
    PS: Nerf the damn Widow Mines!!!
    WTF
    I was so looking forward to patch 5.0.12, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the outcome.
    Cyclones? Really? That was the problem that needed urgent solving and reworking?
    Not the extremely low trade efficiency for Protoss in early game? Many times, you are broke in modgame with 66 workers while the Terrans sit back on 2 base with 30 workers + MULES and pumping units.
    I like the Hydra buffs. Maybe now they are more useful, not just Lurker eggs. I like the Protoss faster upgrades, the Immortal buff (which I still think is not enough, but it's better).
    For e.g. 60 army supply of chargelot - Immortal can't kill an undefended Planetary being repaired by SCVs, which is absurd. How can you actually split the Protoss army and at the same time defend 2 Terran drops + 1-2 Libs mineral line harass? Cannons? You have to invest in Cannons? Like why? A Cannon is a Gateway worth. If you have 3 bases 7-8 mins into the game, you expect a Protoss invest 450 minerals in 3 Cannons instead of 3 Gates? That's beyond absurdity.
    So many agreed that Protoss needs increased vision. Either the Pylon or the Observer vision range.
    And another thing I don't actually like is the race-favoured maps. I agree that we should have map diversity, I totally like having 9 maps instead of 7, but does it actually show the skill.
    So Reynor went for Protoss considering that Protoss would be favourite vs Zerg on this particular map, which is odd and interesting at the same time. It's interesting because if it wasn't for this situation, we wouldn't have had the privilege of witnessing this epic game.
    I just hope this is food for thought. Idk of I'm right and I hope it's not all wrong.
    About the game, what can I say. 550-600 APM Protoss vs 400-450 APM Zerg and we're talking about Serral. Some of us think he's the GOAT (some of us think that about Maru) and so far he has proven to be the GOAT ar least in EU.
    The last thing I am obliged to say is why this feedback. Because just as Byun got Reapers nerfed, Serral got Banelings double-nerfed.
    And the fact that Serral is starting to play without Banelings is a statement in its own IMHO.
    In conclusion
    Give the Baneling back the +5 HP upgrade.
    Thank you for having the patience to read.
    Best regards.

      what your missing is that the homestory cup stream had casters that included lowko acknowledging that they only reason reynor went zerg this game is because the map is highly toss favored. He literaly wins this 1 game as toss, loses the next and then stays off toss.

    Surely there must be a better title than "game of the year", when multiple such games crop up each year!

    i dont know what commands make your APM go to 1063 but that was the highest i saw reynor at.

      highest in this game or all time? if all time, then with zerg it's possible. queen injects with camera-shortcuts can be quite spammy. plus the repeat rate of the keys itself

    This is clearly Serral having a casual match.

    Serral just doesn't give his opponents an extra second when he knows he is likely to lose. no fighting back, It's just gg asap!
