Calm really paid the price for waiting to morph his two Hydras at his third. If they were burrowed at the choke it would have at least cost Fantasy SOMETHING to break it.

Guess he just couldn't spare the gas? Maybe he figured Fantasy would figure he morphed (but Fantasy has scans too) given that Fantasy already scouted it. One way or another it really hurt him.

Okay listen guys

Calm didn't do anything wrong that game.

Fantasy just played the ENTIRE game so perfectly, right from the start with the SCV scouting and 2 early overlord snipes, as well as the constant expansion scouting. His 2nd SCV scout also helped a lot by scouting what tech Calm went for, through seeing the hydralisk at the natural.

The only mistake Calm may have made was a rather slower-than-usual lurker morph at 5 (which Fantasy could have easily countered with a dropship, which was already there when Fantasy was destroying 5 o'clock).


calm's thought process:

"well this is fantasy so i should prepare for vultures and maybe a valkyrie"

"wait this is standard M&M"

fantasy played perfectly and calm played bad (losing an early ovie, going for a risky 3rd after being completely scouted, etc...)

i guess this was clam playing, not calm!

I'm pretty sure Fantasy didn't lose a single marine until his drop more than halfway through the game.

it wouldn't have mattered, fantasy already had a dropship going towards 7

seriously, there is not one thing to criticise about that game. Perfect play by fantasy from start to end.

I feel that calm's mistake is from powering too much drone. I mean, we saw the game against JB and went, zOMG, how did he get 9999 hydras. This time, fantasy caught calm with his pants down.

I'm so pissed off at Calm. That was such a disapointing performance.

I always thought ZvT is getting mutas to stall enough time to get the gas for lurkers?

Going on to expand at five after being scouted was risky, you might blame calm for that move in retrospect. Sending out the drones to the expansion was a stupid risk, it was likely that terran was going to catch that.

In general I don't understand how he thought he was going to have enough shit to defend 5:00 in time. If his plan was to morph hydras if marines attack, then he must have known he'd need some units to come help while the eggs buy time. I think losing the drones may have messed up his timing for some macro he wanted to do around then.

Fantasy spotted the Hydra with his SCV.

... wow. If you say so.

I know, my question is why didn't Calm go mutas?

from what i see, Calm went den + spire into fast queen's nest, so Calm was hoping Fantasy would get turrets for mutas (because spire + den means just a small bunch of mutas into fast lurker transition). But going for quick hive, I think that delayed his lurker timing, which Fantasy scouted with his second scv
