pretty sloppy by great... he was on the back foot most of the game, especially from the builds

and zero isn't your standard "wut is hive zvz" dude

the drops were an excellent idea, as was attacking that poor undefended back nat of great... zero got a lucky position in that respect

but great's army control... lol zero plays much better lategame ZvT than great, for one

Now I can sleep in peace having the following objectives reached:
1. A game being taken to Hive tech
2. Zero taking a game off great
3. great eating some of his smacktalk

Perhaps smacktalk is cursed in the individual leagues... But who knows so far.

Great knows Hive game, but he has to know what Zero is up to.
Dante's Peak up, pretty good Hive map too.

Having more lurkers!

I'm not sure that I liked that game, can't say that it was the cleanest of executions from either player.

If you split the cracklings correctly, you can defeat smaller numbers of them

Hive tech zvz is like the final frontier of BW. The only phase of any matchup that still feels new and fresh.

hehe, it's kind of like sc2 in that respect. no one really knows anything about it yet. and hopefully it'll become more refined as time passes... right now it's somewhat sloppy still, though zero and great are two of the few people that are "good" at this.

Indeed. Games like this shows the MUs true potential. Zero and Great are doing a great job pushing ZvZ forward! I can't wait until the day when all games reach this stage. :D

I think zvz lategame just continues to emphasize the aspects of zerg that the early game does when both players are actually able to get multiple tech and multiple bases. It's still a very fast-paced game due to two very mobile armies, and as both players continue to spread themselves out it just gets more chaotic. Would be very hard to keep up with that kind of game in a methodical way and i still don't think either player has a very methodical approach to hive zvz in general yet. Should be very interesting finals!

I think that if there is one thing I can chalk that win up to it would be superior plagues. The drop kept Zero in a superior economic position for basically the whole game, but in terms of army micro, the plagues were the win button.
