Well that speed upgrade is a lot faster, so you can find a faster timing without +1. Also, that forge seemed to be put down only after the lings busted the door, for cannons, but I'm not sure. Replay review didnt show that either. Or maybe it was a +1 build, I dont know.

That wasnt so good, Effort flipped a coin and got it right, he was going 3hat speedling all in, and if Kal waited before going down ramp Effort would've been crushed.

Oh well, all in all he could do at that point after taking a 3rd.


Yes, when you're on 3 bases and your opponent is on 1, making a lot of speedlings is definitely considered an allin.

Seriously?

Effort had 11 drones on minerals that game, and it was all in because if Kal got a sair he would've sniped 3-4 ovies due to the fact that Effort got a den. He wouldn't be able to defend both his nat and his 3rd too.

He only got his forge AFTER that point, and then got his +1 way later than that too.

Lol, the only terrans he has beat this year are go.go and Fantasy

Well yeah, but after his tiebreakers he has been playing pretty good, even tho it's been mostly zvz. Effort has regained his confidence. And the game vs Fantasy was actually also pretty good

the forge was made just when Effort's OL died.

Kal can't make one gate play with a super fast +1 and allow Effort to scout this.

With Effort's bases spread far apart Kal wanted to attack with 3 gate speedzeal way before +1 attack would have kicked in, that's why he didn't get it initially. He only got it after he realized the game was going to go longer than he thought.

kal sat in his natural too long after he moved down his ramp..i think if he moved ou right away he could have won with that timing attack. donno wtf he was thinking, he just allowed effort more time and harassing opportunities

When did effort get a den?
Do you mean "due to the fact effort didnt get a den"

I gotta say if I kill your entire base then you killing some ovs isnt that dramatic anyways

he probably didn't expect effort to mass lings like that and was planning to lay down a forge shortly... but effort's mass lings broke his ramp and forced kal to spend his minerals on zealots instead of a forge. it's an interesting game because if effort hadn't massed lings like that, he probably would've missed his sunken timing due to not expecting early speedlots.

Its pretty useless because the timing is delayed so much that the zerg can get mutas at that point and steam roll the zeals. Kal''s build is all in, and it relies on the zerg making too much defence vs Dts/sairs/reavers by guessing wrong, then zerg gets steamrolled by extremely quick speedlots.

Kal didn't have much more probes than Effort had drones. It was all-in from both.

I believe that's wrong, the forge came way later. Also he had 3 gates going before he started his forge either way. +1 finished really really late. Therefore I find this build very strange.

No it was not allin, and have you ever played a ZvP vs 1base? If they do something aggressive and you didn't cancel your third base for whatever reason, you need to make a lot of Zerglings because you can't get enough sunkens to defend both bases. 11 drones is more than enough to support overlords and Zerglings off 3 hatcheries, and after the immediate threat is gone you can get some more drones and tech.

It seems like you're just trying to theorycraft without having any idea on what Zerg has to do vs 1 base protoss if they took a third base. He couldn't get any more drones without dying right away, that's not an allin, he made as many as he needed to. Immediately after the Zealot attack wasn't an immediate threat, he made like 5 drones and mutas, which was more than enough to put him in the winning position.

Yeah one of the huge disadvantages of 1 base play is you really can't scout how much he's spending on econ/tech/units. You have to guess multiple times early on in the game and getting a single one wrong means you lose.
No I'm never serious.
