That game would have been over much sooner if Flash tried to go SK terran after his failed 5 rax attack. | ||

Would you agree that Last's hybrid lategame style is more stable on CB than Flash's hard mech switch? | ||

If he doesn't have enough defense everywhere, Zerg can snowball even with 4 bases because zerg units are way more efficient at low unit counts against mech. Soulkey played extremely well, and engaged most of the time much more efficient than most zergs would do. Flash also seemed to have a lot of 'naked tank' positions all over the map, i.e. not much vulture or antiair support, especially in the last 10 minutes. So then the tanks get crackling/ultra dropped, or crack-rushed via a nice dark swarm and the trade is overwhelmingly pro-Zerg $$$-wise. And SK didn't just win the engagements, he forced them, repeatedly, all over the place, knowing that was draining Flash. And that Flash couldn't defend well everywhere. Really good strategy and play by Soulkey. | ||

No, Flash was suiciding units (tank only attacks) etc which looked like sandbagging to give the people a better game. Tanks + Goliaths + Vultures would have won him the game. He also could have pressured more but he left SK alone for a while to build more bases which also led me to believe he doesn't want it to end early. | ||

Btw I think left vs right split on CB makes it much easier for Zerg to stretch Terran out compared to top vs bottom split | ||

At no time Flash could have moved out when he had all bases to defend. | ||

But what a game out of soulkey, his mechanics and his composure were fucking perfect from minute 1 until the end. Keeping up with dark swarm casts on the bottom right corner expo, the precision of their usage during the final gigantic siege of the high ground outside his natural, as well as the constant filling of overlords is something you just don't see out of zergs. You even had two occasions on the 9 o'clock where Soulkey flat out outsmarted Flash: the drone transition with the ling runby to keep them out of Flash's vision range and the Overlord flyby at a later defense of the 9 o'clock where Flash just assumed it was going to be a standard flyby with the purpose of impairing his vision and instead ended up being a drop exactly as he started to leapfrog. The key to lategame ZvT I have been believing for years lies in quick switches between mutas and scourges to flood Terran's supply count with units that don't do enough for them. This game I felt pretty validated outside of the final Muta wave doing 5 dmg per shot to Flash's 3/3 goliaths... | ||

Basically instead of going full mech switch, do a mech switch but keep your 5 rax and still mass some bio. Great against zerglings. | ||
