We just finished watching Life absolutely dominate the last RO 32 group of this GSL season.
Everyone is talking about the current Zerg dominance and this RO 32 certainly felt more zerg dominated than ever before, with three Zerg players winning their groups with a 4-0 score, and 8 Zergs moving on to the RO 16.
We took a quick look at the win rates of all the Zerg featured sets of this GSL RO 32.
In all the sets played, the Zerg players had a combined result of 37 wins and only 15 losses meaning a win percentage of 71 %
That's a pretty nasty overall win percentage for a race...
What we find most interesting though is that a lot of people are focusing on Infestors and Broodlords being Imba and therefore being the problem.
But if we actually take a look at the Zergs that dominated the most, Leenock and Life (arguably the two best zergs in the world right now as well) their play wasn't really that centered around Infestors or Broodlords.
In fact their play was heavily dominated by all kinds of other stuff like Mutalisk play, Roach pushes or Baneling busts.
So what is it exactly that makes Zerg players dominate so much right now?
Hard to say.
Perhaps it's just God's (or Nestea's) way of bringing more attention to the Zerg race and thus provide a natural transition to Heart of the Swam :)
Anyway, the following players moved on to the Round of 16
Zerg: Symbol, Curious, Soulkey, Hyun, DongRaeGu, Sniper, Leenock and Life
Terran: Polt, Hack, Yoda, MarineKing, Bogus and Ryung
Protoss: Parting and Creator
