How do you lose at that stage of the game having 4 gas for that long? I'm having terrible flashbacks to zergs pulling that kind of expansion strategy on me and not scouting it until too late. I'm fairly sure none of them ever just gave up their 4th like that either.  | ||

After that 4th went down the game was over. It's viable but unnecessarily risky. There's a timing window (usually right before ultralisk speed is done) where proper 3-base Terran macro can turn such a game around. There it happened even earlier due to ZerO fucking up in the middle. | ||

I was actually surprised to see him show up with delayed lurkers... particularly after he took a fourth base that wasn't connected to his third, meaning he would have to defend three separate locations with lurkers. (Much easier with a more mobile, zergling/muta --> zergling/ultra army.) As far as I can tell, the center of neo moon glaive is ridiculously terrible for lurker vs. M&M. | ||

Yeah, this was some weird middle ground between crazy Zerg and standard play with a ton of lurkers. I'm guessing Sea's early pressure forced him to switch to lurkers and he didn't change his late-game plan of going fast ultras. | ||

Though I must say, that was some damn impressive macro from Sea. Why, Zero? Why do you always lose when it matters most? Individual leagues, proleagues, it all ends the same... | ||

As we've just seen, a very slow teching to swarmless ultras can't do shit, but at least with tre Crazy Zerg, you have a puncher's chance with fast ultras and guardians (if all your mutas didn't die). Though I must say, that was some damn impressive macro from Sea. Why, Zero? Why do you always lose when it matters most? Individual leagues, proleagues, it all ends the same... Actually imo Ultras are the goal of late game ZvT. I think you might have it wrong here, you get defilers in order to delay terran enough and barely defend to ultraling with upgrades with 4 gas. Zero already had 4gas and had map control for a while, so the defiler skip was okay and doesnt hurt. The thing is, Sea like Flash has insane macro, and in order to even hurt the huge blob of MnM they can mass up you need to muster a large ultra force with both speed and carapace upgrades and flank efficiently while keeping all your bases. If he wanted to play that game he only needed to defend his 4th, thats all. If he managed that the game would be even. | ||
