Looks like the spore patch fixed ZvZ!

Last 15 ZvZ games I got 6-10 pooled. I don't know what happened after the spore patch, but noone wants to play macro games anymore.
Did anyone else had similar experience or I was just so extremely unlucky for last days?

Pretty sure you were just unlucky. Also no one can really tell if zvz is "fixed" unless you're progamer/semi-pro at least.

Go for 15 pool every game and you'll win if that's the case.

However, 9-10 pools are insanely popular at pro level right now, that's the main reason why people are doing it. It just flat out wins versus a lot of different openers.

Actually I won most of these games, but it was really frustrating to play. It just pisses me off, because I have no chance to practice ZvZ macro games. I dont even remember when I played last one. It feels like I have to open 10 pool every game, to transition into macro game. Otherwise game is 5 min long.

Pick up some of us Zergs from the group on Starcraft, or here, and play us in macro games instead.

I still do mutas and even with correct placement of spores I win in the end. I never was a fan of mass mutas so I continue to transition into ultras in the late game.

i still play ling/muta. But spores do ton of damage. but it's still not enoght to do anything against ling/muta.

noooooooo.... it hasn't..because Mutas prevent getting a third, so air wins... by default macro.

Seems like you do a 3 queen opener, creep to the third, drop spores there, and then drop your hatch when they finish.

Really map dependent.
