i dont think that he won because the battle cruisers it sounds like he just had way more stuff than you in general. It was only 1 battle cruiser anyway. Was this off of 1 or 2 base?

Dude, he had like NO ARMY AT ALL 3/4 of the game except 4-5-6 hellion and lost those almost all in your spine crawlers ...

A simple PUSH with 4-5 roaches and you ve had GG

I'm not sure the timing on a BC rush, but it's totally possible to get a spire up to reasonably counter. I've run into a BC rush once: I arrived at their base with roaches reasonably early and crashed right into his 1st BC. I threw away the roaches and by the time he cleaned them up & got his BC (and a second as I recall) across the map to my position, I had built a spire & prepared corruptors. It was gg for him pretty soon after.

okay so just watched the replay and the problem lies more in your own macro and scouting then in your opponents build.
first macro: you always had larva just sitting at your hatcheries which you could have used to drone up more or make lings to scout your opponent, and also at 10 minutes in the game with no pressure except 2 late hellions you should have had a huge food lead.
next response: your response in not getting pressured made you lazy and you could have taken your third much faster, and this also ties in with your lack of scouting.
last scouting: you only scouted his front wall which gives you no intel and if you had sacked say 2 overlords could have made more of an army as a response, but also you got your lair and the only tech you used for it was your ovie speed and drops which did no good and was a gamble choice, and had you scouted more diligently you could have had a spire for the bc and more lings/banes for his weak ground army.

Hypothetically it's not a pure BC rush, because of the tanks

The one thing that could've saved you would be a sacrificial overlord maybe around I think it's 6-7 mins for ZvT if they're on one base?

I do believe it's very hard to blind counter, there's no real way anymore to do so in the ZvT metagame. My friend has been going hydra in ZvT recently, to decent success, and that could've saved you.

this actually is pretty effective, however the main issue is spire builds can really give it trouble, especially if its early. corruptors reallyyyyyy make b/cs terrible, and you only need a couple mostly to up ur damage from queens/mutas.
