You can actually draw a pretty simply flowchart because if you don't screw up hard like Effort likes to do, you have no real chance of losing. Defilers basically make it easy to kill a protoss army. Plague makes zealots twice as easy to kill and Dark Swarm makes archons do less damage as well as make dragoons completely useless. There is not reason not to get defilers because they're the unit that kills the whole protoss army. Personally I think Kal didn't expect Jaedong to macro this well. Damn, why don't those korean pros just ask you for that flowchart. They must be really dumb. In other news, reavers, (storm) and feedback help tons against defilers. | ||

He needed to expand and I don't think he could've just walked into 3, so he took lower left. By the time he rebuilt his forces, mostly goons/archons, he was facing infinite swarms. hm not really as far as i remember when they showed jds view he had like 6 lurk 1 group of hyds and a few zerglings in front of his bridge and absolutely nothing at 3 kal could just move up, kill the (i guess it was still morphing) hatch and then expand there while trying to hold his nat/third while getting 3 up | ||

In other news, reavers, (storm) and feedback help tons against defilers. They already know it, that's why protoss players generally keep on losing to zerg in the exact identical ways. Plus you must be joking. Templar units, if you didn't know, don't have unlimited energy and are actually very gas expensive units. | ||

Calm seriously didn't want to just expand to 7 first? -___- haha this is a slightly changed version of hero's zvp. get early hydras with range, make protoss get a ton of cannons, and then go to midgame with mass economy from 4 hatcheries | ||

Calm seriously didn't want to just expand to 7 first? -___- 4 Hatch Hydra is a build Calm/Hero have been experimenting with, and honestly, I think it yields better results than 3 Hatch Hydra because if the first Hydra bust doesn't work you have a lot more room to recovery. You can settle with just making the Protoss make cannons, and then just massing Drones. | ||

I wouldn't want to feedback JDefilers when they're under swarm, mixed with lings and lurkers, and running for your hill :p Dark archons are nice, but require some space to use them (i.e. a ball). Also, if this game had an OSL style resource overlay, I don't think Kal had that many gas to spend. | ||
