[BR] PvZ on Frost

This is the first game of the day, so my build order is very strange- FFE with a gateway before nexus.




Meanwhile, he goes hatchery first followed by a late spawning pool. I see this and attempt to exploit it with a cannon rush (hey, I still cheese a little)








I only got one drone, but my expansion is up and running by the time he clears everything out.




He wastes no time in taking a third base. A good idea, because he's 23 drones to 30 probes.



Don't even ask me what this is- some two gate push with +1 zealots and without warpgate.




My push is good, clearing 8 randomly patrolling zerglings, and I prepare to tech to robotics facility.




Suddenly I realize he has built units in response to my zealot pressure. How dare he!!!





Oh look, roaches! And lair! I never saw this coming.




He decides to go for the attack so I get three total forges. Actually, that attack never got to my base, because he decided to patrol the map and look for stuff.







Two evolution chambers for him- I can not believe he is admitting I am ahead in upgrades. It's like treason to the zerg race if you've played the campaign.




I'm scared of roaches in general, since I've lost lots of games in WoL where they went mass roach against mass immortals and won, so I built a third in the top right.




So I build a warp prism and attempt to harass his fourth base.




Like every creative zerg, my opponent builds a spire and attacks with a bunch of roaches, expecting, probably, to do some damage to my units and force immortals.
I'm not an idiot- every zerg in silver league does this against me. I never bother building immortals, since almost every zerg does mutalisks. However, colossi are good units so I always get them.



Run zealots run!



Desperation force fields work out well and my opponent loses a fair number of roaches, forcing a retreat.




I saw White-Ra do this once on Red City! Special Tactics!



Wait, hold on, I have to harass...



...in his natural and main base...



Oh, snap, he's going mutalisks, better get some cannons up!...



Ok, NOW I can special tactics! (It took 43 seconds to do all of that)






While getting the cranky, flightless probes to start mining at my new expansion, my warp prism decides one of the drones is attractive and starts stalking it. A nearby queen, who happens to love the drone, kills the warp prism out of jealousy.




An observer is waiting very patiently at the zerg natural for anything strange, but all it can report is mining. Suddenly, 11 mutalisks (not shown) fly right past it. Unfortunately, I was gathering my army in preparation to attack.



Oh no, not mutalisks!




In the below pictures, the epic journey and terrible damage of these eleven mutalisks are displayed for the masses of team liquid to gaze upon in utter horror.




I go for the attack! Nice forcefields, but I lost all my zealots before reacting because I was putting probes in empty assimilators.





I decide that colossi are good and I make one run away from the mutalisks before it dies.





So, he confidently takes two more bases.




I decide to warp in 6 zealots above his third base next to an overlord. Realizing he could see me, I ferry 4 of the zealots into the third base while making two of them walk.



This doesn't work well, so I brilliantly decide to steer two survivors into the main base.




"Quick, attack the evolution chamber!"




No, wait, that's not right, kill queens! And drones!





I got five drones in the main using hold position micro and a few zerglings but lost the zealots- a decent trade I guess, since the warp prism survived.

Four saturated bases because I love macro!



Therefore, he goes hive.




I decide suddenly to use my warp prism to put zealots on the fifth, which I just scouted, while barreling down his front.



Unfortunately, since colossi are slow, they were left behind while the rest of my units went somewhere, and they died very fast.



Fortunately, he runs right into my zealots and stalkers, as I turned around as soon as I realized I was losing colossi.



Micro starts happening! Yay! I love microing stalkers.








After this excellent engagement, I decide to take another base. Because why not?



AND phoenixes to deal with those pesky mutalisks.



And I'm macroing like a- wait what happened here?




Let's rewind a bit.

Yes, yes I see what has happened here.

Suddenly, I realize that I was, in fact, harassing the fifth. It turns out I killed it and we both forgot about it. So I decided units were good and brought them back.




Huge roach attack into the third fourth base! Oh no!






I give chase with everything, including a flank with those units I was bringing back.



I back up, he springs forward, and I retaliate. Engagement time!









After that exciting engagement, which I win easily (I lost eight supply, he lost about 80!), he taps out.
