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 Because ultras are not as cost effective. The main reason to make them is because they are a good mineral/gas dump. lurker/swarm/ling/hydra is much more cost effective, but so much harder to control. Also rain had map control until the end with a 200/200 deathball. Hard for zerg to swarm the map vs that. | ||

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 The recalls were definitely worth it. They accomplished things. A subsequent recall of the force that killed Larva's main (which took almost no losses but was then basically trapped) into the bottom expansion right after would've won Rain the game most likely. Dumping units into the lurker/sunken meat grinder for nothing was what wasn't worth it. The drop play wasn't really doing it either. | ||

I'm not sure how many evo chambers he built but I'm fairly sure he got +3 range attack so he probably didn't get it/forgot to get it after Rain busted his main/front of his natural. | ||

Rain had quite a lot of zealot till the very end though, might have been worth it at one point just to dump a bit of gas. Larva's way was a lot more stylish though. | ||

I think its very much the latter especially with how many bases Rain had during the mid game. I think you let the zerg turtle. In a fight without defenders advantage, the toss will trade more efficiently, although zerg can remacro faster. All in all still better than wasting units. I also think recall can be incredibly useful if you really want to break a turtling zerg. Look at how much better the recalls turned out vs charging the front. | ||

The 2010-11 Shinhan Proleague finals match achieved a viewership of over 1% through Ongamenet’s live broadcast on the 19th. The finals between the two rival telecommunications corporations recorded an average viewership ratio of 1.777% (16-19 male, TNmS scale) and ranked 1st during its broadcast time on cable TV. The fact that mass viewership was recorded by teenagers rather than people in their 20’s is evidence that Brood War remains popular in following generations since the first Proleague finals in 2003. The final set between Flash and Best reflected the most response from viewers, achieving a max viewership ratio of 2.514% (21% of males aged 16-19). In other words, 2 out of every 10 male Korean high school students watched the last set of the Proleague final. The popularity of Proleague continued on the internet as well. From the beginning to the end of the finals match, "Flash", "Action", "Bisu", "Best", "Violet", "Ongamenet", and other Proleague-related subjects reached upper levels on the search bar rankings in individual portal sites. Netizens also showed interest in "Ryu Ji-hye" and "Yellow". Appropriately living up to his nickname “Final Boss”, Flash was awarded MVP after leading his team to victory with two wins. KT is now the 2nd consecutive winner in Proleague since they twice defeated SKT1 in both the last 09-10 season and the most recent 10-11 season. http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=49054 | ||

"Rogue" foreigner restreamings on livestream (and the other one I forgot the name) never really reached 1000 I guess, at least from what I remember. Also, dont forget that back then stream quality was goddamn awful, we watched laggy 270p restreamings! If you typed the good ol' "buffer into gg" woud get you banned from the channel! lol | ||
