Unless in that situation we are to ignore the questions and just look at the replay?

Thanks in advance.

That's putting it a bit harshly, but yes.

What you should do is look at the replay, and then give the OP the best advice based on what you see. If that happens to be exactly what he was asking for, perfect. If not, still give him advice about the replay, and point out that he may be asking the wrong questions about why he lost. Of course you can still answer any questions from their OP that might not have been that relevant to that particular game in addition to giving advice based on the replay.

The thing is many people don't realize why they have lost and may give a misleading description. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - after all that is why they are coming here asking for help. But that makes it so important that you watch their replay.

Apart from that it's a matter of respecting the work they put into making a thread and uploading their game.

Ah ok that makes sense, I didn't think of that last part.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I don't understand why you would post a replay where you're so BM at the end?!?!! lol
It was a good game.

I'll try to stay simple for things to focus on that I noticed:

Watch your 3rd. Also put it up a bit earlier. You were a good minute or more late. You had over 1k minerals for a while. Put an OL by those rocks so you can see if he is coming to snipe it. Much like your OL line around your main, that was sweet. You need that 3rd up well before him.

The comments about mobility of mech have some merit. You didn't do anything to prevent his expanding. While the game was still "winnable" (Before you lost your army) he had 5 bases to your 4. Can't let them get away with that. Your choice of Muta or Roach drop harass, but it has to be something.

There were vikings visible before you started making Corruptors and Broodlords. He already knew what you were going to try to do. Best to let him throw that money away and mass up more roach/infestor. You threw away SOOO many minerals- I was watching FPV and was like "why making broodlords now? you've seen the vikings!"

You play very well and are very fast- use more of that APM for Harass and making sure you out-base him and you could win that strat.

edit: He basically out predicted your whole strat, he knew where your 3rd would be. He sniped it. He knew you would go Broodlords and had the response WELL ready. He was good at forcing you to do something, and being ready with an answer. Sometimes that stuff is hard to see, but he controlled the whole game as far as unit choices- you would rather be doing that as Zerg- obviously.
