No kidding.... That was such BM from lalush in g3, after both his hatcheries got taken down, he keeps trying to take out 2 BC`s with 2 spore crawlers.... You got beat, just gg.

(In addition, did you notice that when he was going to say gg, he goes: `gg, well terrand`, instead of giving TLO credit for the win. Lalush pulls an IdrA, blaming a good play on bad balance).

To be fair, early BCs are really hard to counter for (Zerg and Protoss) ground forces, even Blizzard has acknowledged that.

not so angry about last game. more about 2nd. I know from experience after doing drop play and killing 40 SCVs, terran will panic and go "omg i haz no SCVs, I needz a-move zerg baze".

And I knew he was thor heavy. So I built as many roaches as I possibly could before dropping, during dropping, and after finishing dropping because i know from experience every good terran will counterattack immediately, and that I would have to stop that counterattack.

So... I basically anticipated what was coming like 5 minutes in advance, made a shitload of units, but still wasn't able to do squat about the counterattack. That's the sort of thing that makes me mad, not what happened in game 3. 5thors 3tanks killing 60 roach is more frustrating.

Sure I could've been more efficient. Neural Parasite upgrade better timed. Or maybe rather forgoing Infestor's and neural parasite for more units, mixing in lings to the mix etc... It's easy picking up on these things afterwards, but harder in game.

This is basically why anyone saying "zerg needs to do more drop play/nydus play" is wrong. Zerg can only do drop play if they manage to distract terran's counterattack long enough. Doesn't happen often vs good players.
