This was a pretty high-level zvz. Nikon is right, Killer attacked the spire too late. Had he killed the spire before it finished, he would have won with a superior economy. Modesty also played really well to hold off the initial ling attack long enough for the spire to finish. This game was decided by that 1 milisecond when the spire died and that 1 muta popped. People who say these guys played bad don't play zvz or dont understand it.

I sincerely think this game is underrated. Modesty did some really fancy ling and muta micro, without which Killer surely would have gotten the lead and his build would have worked. I was impressed, myself, but then again, people are insanely biased by ZvZ.

Yes they are. I don't even remember the last time a ZvZ got recommended by poll. Fuck it.

It seems that if killer had attacked either the lings or the drones in that situation, it would have put him way more ahead

Well maybe attacking the lings wouldn't have put him too far ahead,

but why was his spire so late anyways?

Also, i'm REALLY glad there is some love of ZvZ in this thread, Its the fastest match up, so i think its the most intense. early game pvp and tvt is pretty much non existent, so you gotta wait for those games to be good.

ZvZ is all about micro, because once the game is 5 minutes in, it could also be close to over. And it IS dynamic!

I think Killer's plan was to win with lings + superior mineral economy and make modesty waste all of his gas? The spire went up though and his plan failed.
