He saw Kal not putting up anything after the core finishes and waited for his goon to pop, still he just moved away his lord and never tried poking in again trying to see whats up. Sure the build kinda rapes when the Z don`t scout it and only masses drones, but he really should have made some effort to scout what was up. | ||

His goon was guarding any possibility of OL scouting. Besides, his gates were built in the corner of his base and his OL would never have made it there in time. | ||

His TvP is nowhere near as good but he was capable of pulling out crazy wins, as seen in his sparse games vs the Dragons. | ||

There just wasn't a easy way, he would have to have insane game sense to recognize that Kal wasn't going to tech and go for goon pressure. And as for floating dual ovies to scout his base... Really now? How standard is that? He didn't have a reason to believe there was anything weird going on. Face it, it was a really solid build. | ||

Hell if he had moved it up into his main and sacrificed it he would have seen the spinning core, you don`t have to be a rocket scientist to expect goons then. What he opted for was moving away his lord and relying on a single ling for scouting, hell he did not even realize what Kal was doing until Kals army was already outside his own natural which left him with no time getting up sunks\units. Hell even if Kal had did 3gate speed zeals he would probably have raped him also.I agree.

And no it was not a SOLID build, it was an all in build that relied on Zerg not scouting it, because if he do its pretty much an auto loss. There is a reason for the saying "Assumptions, the mother of all fuck ups". If you make no effort to find out what someone who is 1baseing is doing, then you can`t complain when they roll you with something unexpected. Now maybe he would not have gained any intel with sacking his overlord, but he would at least have tried to find out what Kal was up to and then his loss would be easier to accept. | ||

In short, a good play led to a well deserved win. | ||
