Exactly.

Here are my thoughts, if they are worth anything or not:

The zerg had full upgrades for his lings, making them very cost-effective and taking down expos constantly.

Protoss had full weapons but neither armor or shields upgraded at all. This made his units (especially dragoons) die easily to lower-tier units.

The low drone count for zerg was ok because he was just investing in lings (and hydras), which are cheap.

Last thought is that the Protoss should've just attack-moved. This was fairly similar to Bisu vs Jaedong.

Moral of the story?: Z and lings and imba

I think the protoss was retarded for not leaving a temp/archon defense for his photon cannons.

Its like he would run back and forth to kill a bunch of roaches moving all around the kitchen floor, just trying to stomp on them with his feet foot a time.

And seriously, he had so many goons, even knowing the fact that the zerg wasn't even running heavily on a 3rd gas, and it wasn't like the zerg was getting hydra/lurker ups too.

He tried to run it over like a PvT, and gets promptly raped by a smarter player. Well deserved.

It was actually 45 vs 175+ at one point. Absolutely ridiculous. Had I not read the comments here before watching the replay, I would have never guessed the outcome.

Zerg did a good job of taking advantage of protoss' repeated mistakes and well as some good harassment, but at times I thought they were both trying their hardest to lose the game. Toss kept letting his army run amok, templar trailing far behind zealots, etc. Were they both hammered or something?

omg i was sure the zerg is done for, i guess the toss wasnt playing as well when hes leading and he really screwed up big time when he didnt defend his expo at 10 and losing 80% of his probes due to lings

I was thinking to myself, mid-game when it was 170+ pop vs 60+, "Why would Inc post such a one-sided rape..."

Yeah me too, thats why I KNEW zerg was gonna win, otherwise posing the rep would've been pointless.

I was waiting for Zerg to win from midgame and out, and its probably the best replay Ive ever seen.
Great stuff, thanks for uploading.

This demonstrates the power of the dragoon as a hard counter to cracklings.

God, the attack with 2 groups with flank on cannons @ 11 was perfect. Sooo good.

P had a nice timming attack at the zerg third. Z cancelled lurkers, that was dumb imo, but damn good ling play in the end O_O
