That push was horrible by Piano. Why would you position your tanks at the border of the bridge so they can be easily sniped by mutas while the marines can do nothing about it? And then he pushed into the lurkers without any spread, literally lining up his M&M...
Great game in the end. Was a bit shaky in the middle and Piano pulled it back nicely by killing of Zero's third. All the drops and action was really nice to watch even if both players showed obvious signs of not being able to keep up with the multi-tasking.

Why does Piano always think it's good to waste two battlecruiser and not build science vessels? Maybe he should buld like 4 of them before he attacks? Then they can be more effective against scourges (however in this game Zero figured he could use mutalisks to tank the shots). Maybe use the BC defensively? Yamato gun on ultralisks? Securing expansions? Restore with Medics in case of plague etc. Anyone? What is the consensus on BC in TvZ? They almost seem like a novelty unit, but maybe they could be put to better use..

I think the consesus is to not build them...
I saw Piano use them few days ago vs Effort and win, but I think rather to show his dominance or mock Effort. Maybe he wants to make it a thing though.

you should just watch piano games on his streams...he is the best player when it comes to executing this particular drop heavy+BC build. BC one shot unupgraded scourges, pressures zerg into throwing scourge, wasting defiler energy so that his dropships can come into the zerg base unopposed to deal dmg.
Imagine 2 BCs tickling your nat, multiple dropships coming in whilst terran front army is waiting for a slipup to just rush in...his style basically hinges on the zerg to panic and slip up in defense management. his style works VERY well against weak zergs but not so much against strong zergs like ZerO who knows his style wells.
unfortunately this has nothing to do with how he lost this game with zero.

lol no, Piano has been doing this for more than a year and he is fish ladder king with it.
Just recently thought how Rush's stream was great as you could watch a good Terran below the top-class practice standard, by-the-book Terran play and that's just what he showed here. wp
Ye, Terror is going crazy about Britney's play, gg-timing and appearance seemingly :D

You know, performing an act for too long slowly turns you into that act.
He kind of reminds of jack black in Tenacious D. Acting so oblivious to his own antisocial behaviour - does not mean he has become that though. But i dont know the context of Terror since i have not followed him nor do i understand korean
Terrific work by ZerO, those ~8-9 sunkens early on really stifled PianO's aggressive M&M/tank pushes. Far more conservative than how ZerO usually plays, but glad it was so effective.
Exciting final match, would have liked to see PianO follow up his first drop on Rush's main with follow-up drops, but alas, he mismanaged his dropships... Well done from Rush!
