Remember he did go fast spire.
Then he got 2 scourges to scout Anytime. He also noticed Anytime was only making 1 sair allowing the possibility of a Muta All In to hit. And he even had really fast ovies.. which was like LOL when the DT hit.
But then the Lurker Switch up... but then Anytime's Nice timing and push when GoRush spread etc.
Gosufest.
I wonder what GR woulda done if Anytime just FE'd.

Was anytimes's macro a bit sloppy or I am just used to bisu's and stork's ones and expect the same from all players? I didn't see his resourcecount during the game, but to me it looked alright.

Seems to me that AnyTime is playing some super stuff!

Anytime had good macro but he lost a lot of goons which killed his gas later.
You saw his armies later on consisted of 1-2 archons, and reavers+pure zeal.
You could tell his gas was hurting real bad.
Whatever, Anytime better not lose here anymore -_-;;

Anytime was never really the one of his generation of neo-tosses known for amazing macro (although his is hardly weak) iirc. That honour went to Pusan, and possibly Stork. He didn't have a lot of gas, but that was more down to Gorush's sucesses.

GoRush wrote a new book, called "How to drown a Protoss in a sea of Zergling Blood".

Anytime's opening was actually quite good.
He scouted the fast lair, yet wasn't overzealous in creating cannons or corsairs. He made two corsairs, and 3 cannons. He never lost in the initial mindgames.
However, the lurker attack on the 2nd expansion mineral only delayed Anytime's mineral production and his first initial push, buying GoRush enough time to expand and lay down more hatcheries.

GoRush isn't doing that well really.

910 vs hero on blue storm.
hero at 2
910 at 8
|
hero starts his pylon at his choke, he might be going for 14nexus or a "proxy" gateway. 910 is waling his choke with depot rax. his gas gets stolen. gateway at choke for hero.

gas steal!, he lets it finish. Reminds me of Bisu vs. Mind although there is no proxy-gate involved.
|
910 attacking the assimilator with 5 scvs. marine out chasing the probe. hero trying to steal it again, but marines turn his probe away. hero expos after 2 zealots. looking for a proxy factory now, since he hasn't found the scout of 910. 910 starting academy and 2nd rax. not sure if his mm will be in time.

In any case the protoss tech is quite late and there are no cannons yet.
|
core and 2nd gate for hero now. 3rd rax coming for 910. expo up for hero. 3 zealots for him. about 56 marines and 2 medics and 4 firebats for 910. he moves out and it is scouted by hero. starts a forge immediately. SCV coming for 910 as well. about 6 of them. he should bring more since if he loses this attack he's basically fucked.

The beginning of the attack was totally screwed by the chokepoint, but somehow he got some probe kills and survived surprisingly long. But now his momentum is lost.

12 or so rines with medics heading for the mainbase, but Hero scouts them and sends out goons. Reaver out should spell the end for MM.
Cannons and goons destroy the assault, should be over now.
|
2 cannons almost warp in, but they're taken down before they do much damage. medics probably out of energy so this rush is going to get turned back. that did some minor probe damage, but with that advantage hero should take the game unless he makes huge errors later. +2 rax for 5 for 910. 2 cannons at hero's nat coming. 910's best hope is drops now. 3rd cannon at the nat now. 5 goon vs about 1.5 group of marine medic for 910. goons retreat to the safety of cannons. about 2 group of marine medic go in vs cannons and dragons. the mm gets raped. 2 cannons go down, and quite a number of probes die as well, but hero has robotics support up now.

Well, 910's attacks aren,t his strong point today.
