no point having that many bases if you don't have the micro to defend, sharp

I get the feeling this is a big reason Terrans like to stay SK a lot of the time.

Larva smashing late mech like it was nothing. Glad we got a game 5.

Circuit Breakers is a bad map for a mech transition. Too many paths to attack from. Sharp never really got that many tanks. At one point Sharp had 6 bases to larva's 4 but he just couldn't defend them all. Sharp never got to the point that could be called mech.

Oh look, triple expand into mass SCV is not actually an optimal strategy.

agreed. you're spread way too thin and too immobile... that combined with triple expand is just bad play

awesome play from larva

That game reminded me of a game a few years ago on CB between Flash and Larva where Flash had a huge bank but got owned by non-stop late game aggression.

Yeah it was a weird transition, can't really micro several group of marines, a few tanks, lot of vessels and vultures at the same time.

Very fun game though, action all over the place, mine drags, it was chaos.

That TvZ was one of the best I've seen in a long long time. Godamn. Sharp's map vision with just an insane number of mines and buildings and then Larva with the mine drags and muta switch. Un. Real.

Yeah, Sharp expanded a bit too much with the switch. Either go for 4 bases then switch and then expand more or go for many expands, stay on SK for a while and then switch. You can't defend 6 bases while you are switching to mech and don't have the numbers. Larva struck at the right moment and the game slowly snowballed out of Sharp's control.

I guess Sharp was trying to take that many bases at the same time by pumping out an obscene amount of vultures, and spider mining the entire map, which would explain why he had so few tanks. But the mine drags after mine drags happened.

Suprisingly, I don't think it is, despite mineral fields facing map edge and some chokepoints that can defend 2 bases at the same time.
