Here is my breif battle report on the matter based on the game soO vs Fantasy recently played at IEM gamescon highlighting some important aspects of this style. Another recent example is the game played between SKT's Dark and Samsung Bravo where Dark executes the same style ultra queen attack that denies Bravo's 4th base and puts Dark in a commanding lead, the vod can be found here | ||

One problem though, is that if this becomes too popular, terran will do more mech-based timing push that hurt soooo much (with a few SCVs pulled) T.T (Edit: typo) | ||

^^ it's been a long time since i saw this opening/transition People are so focused on the late game mech that they forget that mech has multiple vulnerable spots before the late game. it's called being cautious  | ||

If he would just be turtling and positioning behind a strong wall he might have defended the push. He had to take the fourth and it was already a lot into the game imo. Also that timing is way weaker on terraform, no? | ||

this made me chuckle: soO remaxes on 43 mutalisks to check mate Fantasy, whom on 3 bases cannot effectively make enough anti air to defend against them | ||

Your second on the counter build was confusing and I did not get as much out of it. I don't play zerg very well, but it would have been nice to add how he played the midgame and what he did to get good engagements. | ||

Then for a good engagement, he just spread out his units a little bit then attack moved after blinding cloud. There's not much more left to say I think | ||

How did he scout? What and how much did he use to fend off small pokes? Again, scouting and other things are great to explain. Things you may think are obvious are not for lesser skilled players. | ||

It is not just made, it evolves (sounds pretty serious written this way!). Just that I prefer turtleling terran compare to mech timing push, but again, that is mainly because I don't know how to scoot for it since it is not much in the meta yet. | ||

Again, scouting and other things are great to explain. Things you may think are obvious are not for lesser skilled players. He made 6 or 8 roaches with roach speed. I couldn't read the number in the VOD coz I had to use a lower quality. I imagine having a number of queens at one base (say soO's 4th base on coda) and roaches towards the 3rd and natural area will cover your bases against hellions. Then, before you attack, add a couple spines at each base to secure the location after the roaches and queens move out of position The problem with explaining everything is that then it becomes a comprehensive breakdown for every single decision made in that game. I agree breaking things down for lesser skilled players is a good thing, but the time commitment for both me and the reader is a tough line to balance | ||
