At least it would've made Flash use more scan and would've interfered with mineral collection...? In fact, when Calm ran those 6 Lings into Flash's main, if instead it was a Lurker I think Flash wouldn't have had the scans to deal with both the front and the main. lurkers arent fast enough or small enough to run by like that | ||

Flash wasn't mining for most of the fight so that'd just trap the lurkers without ling support. Against Flash's MnM micro. | ||

But I guess after the display Flash turned in, it shouldn't be much of a surprise. I feel sorry for the stx fans. They were so close but hit a brick wall. | ||

Didnt you see Flash use SCVs to block that? Flash clearly knew that would come | ||

Pretty good for a PL/WL thread though. | ||

And Calm had no econ anyway, so raiding the mineral line wasn't going to help him. It was pretty much over as soon as those three bunkers went down. | ||

Quality post ^^. Honestly, I think he just scanned the main, saw the den and knew that Calm couldn't also have a spire at his nat because of his non standard opening. From there he added the 3rd bunker. As for the first bunker, like someone said, you usually don't see zergling speed in the muta version of calms opening... EDIT: 2417!?!?!?!?!??! | ||

I don't recall Flash losing 15 scv's...) I'm trying to explain to him that spending even 1 larvae on a drone during an all-in 2hatch lurker build can kill you. He blabs on about how if Calm produced 2 less lings for 1 drone, he could have went for a 3rd base and then pumped drones after getting scv kills into a muta switch. Tough thing is, he's a C ranked zerg player and I'm a C- ranked zerg player so he doesn't take me seriously. Can someone put it into their own words why you can't switch to "macro mode" after doing what calm did? thank yous Your friend is an idiot. Calm had nothing mining at his natural and Flash was killing lurkers with expert precision. The second he lets up a little bit Flash snipes the lurker and breaks his sunkenless, droneless natural. | ||
