The first 5 minutes are an example why making a 3rd hatch beforeyour lings in zvp is a bad BAD BAD idea. -_-

I just finished watching, pretty sad from Cloud. he just continued to mass archons and zealots in the face of ultraling supported by many defilers. I think he should have made more hts, dts, das, and sairs, and just not morphed archons. They do like what.. 3 damage through swarm? He definitely had the resource advantage to take this but lost since he just sat there massing archons rather than teching to air or using a lot of maelstrom/storm combos. Good work from Kaaz, does this guy just go triple upgrades hydraling lurker every game -_-?. I've never really experimented with that kind of style, he makes me want to try it.

I don't think making that 3rd hatch mattered, kaaz's downfall in the early game was his zergling control. At one point he had an opportunity to attack 2 zealots + 1 probe with 8 lings, you should always take that opportunity.

Cloud's play was ok I thought, his main problem was that he took 9 o clock far too late, it would've been very easy for him to kill and secure that expansion, since kaaz would've had to attack through either the bridge choke or the lower choke between the natural expansion and 9 o clock expansion. Also I think Cloud's unit choice is superior to going air, carriers and corsairs are immobile, cost a shitload of resources and usually COST you the game rather than win it in situations like this (See ELIZA(Proteur) v FA on Luna, if FA chose to spend his resources on mixing reavers into his army then he would've won). You see the problem with carriers is they suck on their own, you need to make a lot of sair to defend them, which costs ends up costing far more, and unless you have a critical mass of carriers AND sairs, the zerg can just turtle his half of the map PLUS the 2 mineral only expansions and eventually, if you can't kill the hatcheries (difficult if he just sits there with mass spore, sunken, hydra) then he will win. With reavers they are so cheap and are just as effective against static defense, and also serve as good defense themselves.

Kaaz had near a 100 supply advantage at one point and like the other 90% of the game left just a shitload of units on his half of the centre

very boring rep and nothing special. onesided 40 min macro game.

i thought at the end: ok zeal/arch/rvr vs mainly ling/arch can be interesting, but sadly cloud lost his full shuttle vs some hyds, without any reason to move it into the hyds. (rofl)

i didn't watch the rep but see a lot of cloud hating.. we all know he isn't the world's best player, there's no need for all the shittalking.. especially when he's probably way better than 75% of the posters here -,-

I think that his best bet would have been dark archons and more high templar instead of so many archons, or reavers

its not shittalking to point out what a player did wrong, that always happens.
