I cant believe he tried that in a serious game against a progamer.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

When 1st part was extracted, 2nd part also would be extracted automatically. You don't need to extract 2nd part.

hahahahahaha
this has got to be unpimpest play of the year. almost as good as that guy with the outside-in headphones.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

worst acting on the lings ever

"hmm let me try fake a block but accidentally move out of the way so the probe can see, and if the scout happens to click on my gas out of luck then they'll see that mined gas out!"

SO SO BAD lol, not even i could think of something as stupid as this. and that sonic guy is sooo lame i don't see what is so funny about half his shit. If only he spent more time playing proper sc then who knows where he'd be today.

I just don't see what part of this so called stroke of genius is supposed to make the enemy think? That you're just that bad?

If they're bad enough that they cant pull off an attack when they see you're backwards that you dont have to use all of your produced "ninja" lings they wouldn't know what the hell you not getting gas meant anyway.

If they're good enough that they should know wtf is going on then if you have a spawning pool, no drones, no gas the only possible thing they could think was coming was some kind of proxy hatch + mass ling in which case they would react exactly as if they knew a speedling mass semi-rush was coming which defeats the entire purpose.

Saying that "that's just sooo obvious" is just ridiculous. There's no way anyone would think you were doing something that stupid even IF they realized you gave the scout away.

Basically, I just fail to see what you would actually gain from doing something like this in any of the possible situations(except something produced out of sheer dumb luck which could happen with any type of build) no matter if they're a good or bad player.

All in all, fun, sure, useful? I think not.

I like the strategy. The execution sucked, though.

It appears that YJ reacted to the speedlings normally, despite having seen no extractor. The contradiction didn't even phase him.

YJ's simple response reduced Flower's elaborate deception to nothing more than whimsical inefficiency.

Hey I'm just a noob... but surely, it would have been more effective... to just run the lings to toss, ignore scouting probe, and try and get them into his base? Hey, best of all, try and sneak the lings out after the probe got in, so the probe doesn't see them. then get your speedlings into his base and run around harassing like a mofo. maybe even if it was close positions use your lords to vis enemy minerals and drone to minerals to break zeals on choke?
It just seems like... whats the point of hiding speedlings? unless you're gonna do some annoying harassing at his base, when he's not expecting it... just avoiding the zeals while doing as much damage as possible.
