Perhaps the most telling observation one can make about Heart of the Swarm is that, despite it being their expansion, Zerg players are the least happy about the changes. Theyre not despondent; theyre just not cheering from the aisles. Its particularly noticeable in Australia, whose competitive scene has been characterised with an unhealthy degree of Zerg commanders for the last two years. Most of our tournaments were strictly all-Zerg affairs: Jared PiG Krensel, for instance, won the Australian leg of the Blizzard World Championship Series purely thanks to his prowess in the Zerg vs Zerg mirror. Changing the status quo, obviously, can only be a good thing. But its not as if the race is at a distinct disadvantage across the board, as Andrew mOOnGlaDe Pender showcased at the HotS launch in Federation Square. Its just that the collectives knowledge has effectively been reset.
