I think when you use plague, thats a more effective combo. He just used a different approach which seemed quite effective too. He was running a bunch of depleted gases which couldn't so easily allow for lurker/defiler/scourge or ultra/defiler/scourge I think the zerg would certainly have won if he had taken both islands soon after taking 9. | ||

1) At some point (I think around the 30 min mark or so), there was a meta-psychological game of "I'm going to do this, and you're going to do that, and let's fight it out and see who is more stubborn." I agree with Guybrush that the Z didn't want to give in and go ultras. At a certain point you want to win using some specific unit mix/strat instead of just plain winning. That to me is art. 2) When a player makes mistakes or behaves in a certain way, it's usually due to what the other player does. This replay is a good example of that: they were reacting to each other. Sure there are mistakes by both players-- the terran doesn't use all his resources effectively (to which some people say "bad macro"). Also, you might say the terran seemed to be playing "passively"-- but hey, it's because the z was so damn aggressive. I mean, try fending off wave after wave of those attacks, barely surviving, then rallying to push toward a base? Give credit to the z's play if the terran seemed less than eager to push out. He must have figured, if I could hold on long enough, I'll eventually starve him out, and if I eat around the same amount of resources as the Z, I'll win. And on the other hand sure the zerg doesn't have 3/3 units. But macroing from 7 hatches or so, constantly microing defilers (which is some of the most difficult control in sc), trying to hunt vessels with scourge, etc., due to the terran's very good defense means something has to give-- in this case it was upgrades. But really, it's also a function of the fact his pumping units was so efficient that he rarely had enough mins/gas! The Z's macro is really art-- this is no 3000 mins/2000 gas waiting for ultra cavern to finish wait for big center fight unit massing zerg. Very refreshing play indeed. | ||

had the zerg cared to keep his islands in the first place he most certainly would've won playing like that. and yeah, shouldve just had a better check on the 12 main too (that's a mistake i made once myself in a fucking important game=O) | ||

But because terran is a gay race, they won anyway. :D since the results were spoiled awhile back anyway, i'll agree: i must say i agree that the zerg deserved to win the game 100%. but on the other hand, losing like this is sort of like winning... i know i'll keep an eye out for more evisu replays in the future, whereas akaraka seemed solid but not spectacular. great losses are better than boring victories!

It's all he does, and this zerg had a retarded way of losing to it. Hello?! He tried saving his main by nydussing drones to his island! Drones fightingg~!! Sure, 'nice' rep for people who don't get frustrated by stupid play. I myself thought it was a waste and I agree partly to that qtip guy (or what's his name). | ||
