really? that zerg made the protoss macro look insane. i took the toss awhile to do anything though in response to zerg, he just kind of let the zerg attack him and didnt take the initiative.

hmm i didn't like that game at all. no battles for the first 15 minutes, zerg tries to turtle and rely on late game advantages to break toss but eventually starved himself to death cuz I guess he thought he was up despite actually having been outexpoed for a long time. Toss didn't do anything to nullify the drop defiler guerilla attacks except build more cannons and then finally started building reavers when the game was already won. I think as tau cross gets played on more, games like these won't happen.

tau cross is a nice map IMO... just i GUESS it has the tendancy to encourage turtling T.T

is there anything zerg can really do once they let toss get 16 +3 archons?

Nice rep Midian. Cute naming too.

You won't change my mind.

Whenever I see a TauCross PvZ it feels like RushHour with an easy nat to FE to. If you look at 90% of the RH PvZ you've seen where the toss goes FE and doesn't get raped in the first 10 minutes the game plays out just like that.

Listen to the immortal words of John Walsh. On RH, all you have to do to win is take the open main and hold it. GG
SimCity toss FTW!

really? I know he was on CJ as a practice partner, and he's improved since I last played him, but I'm still kinda surprised he won courage ;o

its getting to the point where anyone who's practicing with a team, especially one like cj, should be able to pass courage.

The archons were accompanied by 3-5 temps, too. Wouldn't be efficient to mass hydras. I think going ultralisk with swarm is a better choice. Ultra aren't as weak to storm and will do great vs archons under swarm. The only problem was the zerg didn't have a good enough economy, only 3 gas.

thats like a protoss getting raped and asking how to beat ult ling when they had 2 bases and the z had the rest of the map.
anything can seem impossible to beat if you disregard the rest of the game.
