So I played a pretty disgusting ZvP with iNcontroL tonight.

Being a student of his, we play together all the time... I've never managed to beat his Toss.

Tonight's game was special, though.

30 minutes, lots of macro, and a pretty epic base race to top it all off.

hahaha good game, the last few minutes are ridiculous! I thought you were done for sure when inc's big army attacked, then I saw 22 roaches in the production tab o.O lol

I'm hugely jealous of your training with iNcontroL and Machine, the videos help me a lot and I'm trying to practice them on ladder.

Totally crazy game, and a joy to watch. Way to go, mate.

If anything, this game just reinforces what I already knew to be a shortcoming in my play: The importance of detection in the late game.

I saw it on the stream and it was pretty fucking epic.

Especially since inc said that he only lost ~4 PvZs since he has come back from KR.

I have the same problem with late-game detection sometimes too, the ironic part of it is when my econ management is poor and I'm mineral rich I have a "good" habit of tossing down 4 spines and a spore at each base, but when my econ management is good I tend to be worse because I'm never looking to spend those minerals.
