He had an advantage then. When that early probe saw Larva's entire BO there's no way that Bisu couldn't spin that into a timing of some sort. He seemed to have a solid start but he sputtered out in the midgame and was totally choked except for a few smart plays. Larva seemed to have a good plan throughout even though he let that probe live way too long. Larva knew the 3rd expo of Protoss. It' textbook play on this map. He just didn't care because his plan was just to camp until Bisu taps out. There's no rush timing on this map by either side (if you watch enough games on this map you'll see, it always goes harassment into late game), the reason being the rush distance and most importantly, there's only one place to attack/defend so both sides can just gather their whole army + static defence and they will hold (see Snow Dragoon Reaver timing vs Effort earlier for example). The only realistic way for Protoss to win on this map vs Zerg (provided both sides don't make huge mistake in the early/mid game like losing drones or probes) is to go Carriers and fight vs Devourers until one side runs out of money. This map pool turns out to be not anti Zerg like many claimed at all. | ||

Is there an ASL rule for that? | ||
