You have 30 minutes people throwing 200/200 army at each other and after 40 minutes you see larva micro a single hydra with overlord drop.

This, so much THIS

Larva got his tactics spot on that game imo, he purposely left out the middle bases and got them only when he mined out the rest so he wouldn't have to defend too many locations. What game!!

Some replays would be nice instead of annoying commercials, or even after.

Honestly can't believe it. What a ZvP, a bit sloppy at times, but given the intensity of the game. Beautiful drop defense by Larva overall, given the pressure that was put on him. I thought the surrender of map control and late center expansion would kill him.
Oh, and congrats to the mapmaker, pretty sure that was the kind of game he was going for when designing Gold Rush.

Even though I think Larva underutilized swarm in this game and needlessly lost too many units I guess zerg is a very cost effective race.

Do it Larva, revenge for Jaedong (I like Protoss but I vote for Larva this game because Rain took down Jaedong)

Epic game! Although the recalls were coolI'm not sure they were worth it, he lost a huge chunk of his army killing two essentially mined out bases, and he lost midmap domination

Holy molly what a beautiful astonishing game so back and forth. Both played extremely well. Now this is Larva I wanna cheer!

Pretty sure you need a hive for those upgrades and he never remade his hive.

This is such a weird game. Can a zerg enlighten me on why Larva didn't go for more Hive tech units like Ultra? I was hoping something like a JulyZerg style where once you hit 4 gases you start flooding the map with units.

This game it felt like he turtled harder than a Terran

I was a bit sceptical about Gold Rush when I first saw it, but a game like that definitely won me over. Great game, action all over the place. Fun fun. ^__^

Now I hope we get to see Christmas Toss vs Ultras.

Replays dont pay bills, commercials do.

Larva used the edges of the map so well, I'm impressed. Building tons of scourges to counter the drops from Rain (which was the right answer from him, trying to harass the edge bases).
