Awesome play Grubby!

About that game 3 though;

- First I thought it was quite strange to go into phoenix after the 8-pool defend, it feels rather slow to put on any huge pressure. What do you have with like 4-5 phoenix? Maybe 10-15 lifts in the end? Ret will just make drones, queens and spores, and you can't kill off any bases. He didn't take a quick 3rd either I think?

- Secondly, actually I think Ret was under a lot of stress in the end, he had to consider many factors

- Obviously buildings, which he only had 11 drones with his army, if he were to make hatchery/spores, the push into the main would be a lot slower (with the pressure of the army from the back).

- Grubby was expanding all over the place and I think he knew it would take him a very long time to kill all the buildings anyway

- Keeping his infestors away from feedback

- Only 10 corruptors or so which can be vortex'd

- Keeping his 4 last overseers from being sniped

That besides the actual engagement with pressure of being flanked by the army. It would be really interesting how it would turn out though the battle, but I think Grubby had many quick game-ending moves, while Ret had only one really really slow one.
