Yep, that was 100% BM CC. No arguing there. He built in right on top of all that Hydra goo and in the middle of the battlefield.

Flash uses buildings to block his tanks all the time. He wasn't in a situation where he was likely to lose it, and building it in front of his tanks helps his immediate situation far more than building it behind.

Even if Effort had the appropriate units to fight Flash, what's he going to do? Try and snipe the CC? The amount of damage he'd have to do to the CC is way more than equivalent value of tanks (especially since Flash can cancel the CC).

Wouldn't it have been much more efficient to take another expo?
There was no way Effort was going to attack 11 any time soon. Flash would have to wait for the creep to wear off after the hatch at 12 died anyways.

As people have said already, the direction of his push meant that expo was the safest place to expo. Expanding to bottom is obviously infeasible, while if he expanded to top left, he'd have to put defense at both his 3rd and 4th. This way, his units are already in a position to shield his 4th anyway.

i agree with OneOther
maybe it was better to invest the energy of queens in broodling all tanks, not parasite a tank
and a gol


agreed...

I mean one parasite is fine when it gives you vision over whole army but... second one... then again second one might have just been cause queen was about to die


i think effort did all he can with queens, he used broodlings the moment queens hit 150 but by that time it was too late. flash saw the queens and knew he had to push before they could hit his tanks, which he did and put effort's strategy out of sync. it couldve been beautiful but flash is far too clever

there are many things effort could have done differently. i guess from a spectator's perspective, it's a lot easier to spot player's mistakes. he needed to wait no matter what until queens had broodlings, which was about 20-30 seconds? flash was actually pushing pretty slowly to get the terrain advantage, so maybe effort could have saved his expo right before he died. i think effort was caught by surprise at flash's timing (which was unbelievable). he needed to bring a group of hydras around to the other side through the middle; he could have flanked flash's army. for some reason he attacked from lower ground without queens. needed to be more patient.


yeah I guess he panicked

Yeah there was creep, but the CC was far from being finished. It is quite natural to take that EXPO if you start at 7. And who knows, maybe Effort has taken the 6 o'clock expo and still has a good number of units. I don't see why Flash should slow his game down just because it might look like he is winning. Let Flash play they game he wants and until he builds a supply depot alien head, I doubt anything he does is at all BM.
