best guess I have is that he actually wanted to sync it with the ground army attack, but that he fucked up the execution of it. Either that, or it was just a plain old mistake.

There wasn't any ground army attack though? Unless you count moving lurkers up north and suiciding to mines lol

Also even if he synced it with an attack, his lings earlier saw Flash's rally point at the third so presumably there would be a bunch of marines to respond in any case. 5 rax produces marines pretty fast.

like i dont think killer wouldve won even if he put guardians at the back expo but it wouldve been a closer game for sure. life of a substitute~

I think he made an error in judgement on the go, like the cliffs above the 3rd looks appealing and in a fast paced game you could probably look at that and think "Yeah this is obivously the best place to Morph them" especially if you can back the choke points up with lurkers, Marines are not going to touch that and T has to ferry all his nits down a choke, can't really cut off Z reinforcements either which is lethal when Z has hive and defiler.

But reality of it was he lost a shitton of lurkers to make what he was thinking work, and that should've prompted him to morph them at the 11 o clock expaansion.

The back expansion is probably pretty close to mined out at that point anyway, so going for the natural would be much more painful for flash if it worked. I think that's the idea. Killer just misjudged what the guardians in that position can archive.

i was under the impression that the guardian build was a pre-planned one and not a spur-of-the-moment decision based on how he played the muta game. the map is favorable to it and presumably during practice/map review it wouldve been fairly obvious that it's easier to assault the back expo than the third...?

also it's pretty ambitious to think you can move lurkers all the way into 7/8 o'clock considering how contained he was for so long.

Oh yeah it was definitely planned I think in practice he morhps them at the 3rd and backs it up with lurk/ling I'd assume. But in this particular game he should've morhped them at 11 o clock. Well you are on 3 gas for free so you can definitely brute force yourself out of a contain once hive-tech pops. I dunno I'm just making guesses here, could've been a flat out mistake as well.

EDIT: The error in judgement on the go would be to stick to his original plan and morph them at the 3rd. Just to be clear in what I'm saying

yeah that's probably it. He had practiced attacking with a lurker ling army at the same time, and then it's impossible for terran to handle the guardians because rines can't just run into some burrowed lurkers. This game he didn't have the chance to bring a lurker ling force over, and was playing too much on autopilot and didn't adjust the guardian placement.

I don't like Mongs drop. Now he's stuck with like 12 tanks and Sharp can just defend on a choke.

Trading a low mineral back expansion for a fresh expo is not good
