He knew that with 12h vs 12p, he would have less gas and later Spire. Therefore, he knew the 12h player would likely try to capitalize on that advantage, get spire ASAP, and pressure with lings to stall until that advantage materializes. The choice to mass lings was a very risky one, but it paid off quite well. Zero got too greedy, because he was ahead and STILL chose to be greedy in making more drones WITHOUT making a sunken. But even with a Sunken it might've been hard to hold, but he could've potentially minimized losses to stall till Mutas. | ||

That's actually extremely smart. Thanks for the explanation ! | ||

Pretty much what I was thinking. Would the overlord not normally be over the main to check the spire timing / ling count? | ||
