He seemed to be going for a weird plague+hydra strategy

The way effOrt held that first attack on the third with an irradiated muta was so pimp.

Kept looking at the supply at the later part of that game. Effort was basically hanging on with the skin of his teeth only due to those defilers to ward of Flash for as long as it did.

the lings were mostly good, the bad part was donating all his mutas for minimal damage.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Wasn't the 3 hatch a very good sign that a zergling push could happen? I was a bit surprised he almost died to it while having scouted it.


No, 3 hatch is the most standard ZvT build, but usually the spawning pool comes out after the 3rd hatch... But with a 1-1-1 it's not really possible to punish 3 hatch before pool.

Flash was really good about sending his vessels home to repair them whenever they got plagued. Most terrans seem to just let them all die to 1 muta lol

effort wins style points there but damn if flash isn't a terrifying player. That was so many science vessels. I wish he'd done more to keep their numbers low, either pump more scourge or a muta or two to hit the plagued ones. Also I think it would have been better to let flash build the 4th and have enough lurkers back home to stop flash killing his 4th while expanding to the top or something. Also- losing his mutas at the beginning for nothing didn't help

Looked like effort out-strated himself with the hydra&plague moves, there are stable ways to deal with m&ms + vessels that are known and work pretty fine and he was in a position to do them, what was the hydras point anyway

Yeah sure, I know that much. I meant that order of course.

it's mind blowingly hard to manage your vessels. That was insane from flash my goodness. The way he managed those vessels

Yeah ZvT is very hard but don't forgot Effort was on low econ for pretty much the entire game.

Effort throwing a won game, nice.


What? In what way was that game "won". EffOrt fought well for being a bad position, but it was almost always a solid spot from FlaSh. FlaSh had 2 vessel with irradiate out for his six muta and EffOrt already wasn't in a great spot eco wise.

Was a nice hold from EffOrt at the the third that really suprised me, but FlaSh was still fine and came out a little while later with 5 vessels and 2 tanks when EffOrt was just getting defilers and only had a handful of lurks. That's a terrifying position to be in as zerg, 3/4 lurkers and a defiler or two against five vessels. Eventually against a player like FlaSh you're going to make a mistake and have one to many things be irradiated which is exactly what happened.

EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

its very very very late to get those ultras. The best route was to go hydras at that timing so at least plague + hydras can fend off vessel heavy army.
