Pretty intense game, with an awesome ending! TLO goes for 3 base roaches while Acer goes FFE > into 8 gate robo with colo. Good for people struggling in PVZ when they go max roaches.

As always, please give feedback, leave comments! I hope you guys enjoy!

Maybe describe the game a bit? This is barely enough content for a blog.

It's funny when even a blog barley has enough in it to be a blog : P. I especially liked the edited for content part, where the 1 line for edited for content is almost as large as the "extra" content!.

All jokes aside, cool stuff.

I really avoided trying to sound snarky when updating, but all jokes aside, thanks man!

I have to say I'm not a fan of base trades.

Being a Zerg player currently and a former Terran, I have had my fair share of base trades.

This one in particular, I was rooting for TLO. I honestly thought he had it. It made for a very suspensful game and for that reason alone I like the base trade scenario as a fan. As a player, losing a base trade or having only lings left against a Terran who floats their last building away, it can suck.

I really appreciate you commenting though! Thanks

Most zergs are not a fan of engaging a maxed out protoss army.

I don't think Protoss was maxed out in this game... and it shows you have to engage the army sooner or later.
I dislike having to engage maxed out Protoss myself but I think it's matter of having enough larvae to reinforce your force as a Zerg. And Brood Lords.

How do you support 8 Gates + Colossi? Isn't that like, 2-3 gates too many?

No, once you get out the colossi, you can produce off of the gates only; trust me--I do double robo colossus + 8 gate allins all the time in PvP ^^

It's not mathematically possible unless your gates are idle for a long time between warpins. And this isn't factoring chronoboost in.

Tbh, it sounded like you had already watched the replay before casting and then foreshadowed a bunch of stuff that was going to happen. Fun game/decent cast otherwise.

I always try to live cast every game, however sometimes there are technical difficulties (lag while recording) and I re-record for quality. In this video, I had only seen the very beginning once, however I hadn't seen the whole thing. Thank you for watching and for commenting!

You don't have 8 gates online until you're done spending on Colossus. After that, it's just a double 4gate.

I've done this build a lot, and like people say, turns into a base trade 100% of the time -_-. Kind of annoying, and aside from that if you want to be faking taking a 3rd so that zerg isn't you know, totally suspicious of a 2 base all in, you can't deny overseer scouting of your main, which then makes it quite clear what is going on. And if you are clearly 2 base all inning, the question then becomes what the zerg wants to guess you are doing, and you get into a bit of a coinflip.
