That's not true. Dimaga simply didn't have the resources to ''go tier 3'' You do realize that the two tier 3 units that Zerg has are Ultralisks / Broodlords, both which are amazingly expensive? 3-4 Ultras wouldn't have mattered at all during that last fight. He had immortals. If there is a death ball against Zerg, that is it. Storm, Immortals and mass Stalker. Only Broodlords abusing cliff in heavy numbers can deal with that efficiently. And he couldn't go for tier 3 earlier. He could barely afford upgrades it seemed.

Dimaga needed to use all of his resources to simply stay alive. Hasuobs totally failed to micro his Colossus on his attack too, allowed them to be picked off, yet it was a very very close fight, despite Dimaga spending all of his cash and Hasu skyrocketing each time.

Also since Hasu was so smart when it came to sniping creep, Dimaga couldn't really advance. Roaches melt against Storm and Stalkers. And without creep, Hydras are completely useless against Storm. So he had no real other choice then just sit and defend mainly because Hasuobs army > Dimagas army, especially without creep. Only thing Dimaga had was that narrow area, and hopes that he could destroy Hasu's army with positional advantage.

Yeah, thats true but he was 200/200 way earlier and im not trying to say that he was ahead because of that, but that if he made slighlty diferent decisions he would be in much better position since he wasnt playing from behind.

lol, hasuobs played pretty weirdly.
You go +1 forge and THEN don't take any more upgrades?
2 templar can feedback 4-8 corruptors, (he only got 4 before dimaga copped on) yet he got 6 and didn't storm just went and morphed then into archons. Coulda had more colossus.
DT distraction I do myself in PvZ, oldest trick in the book.
Massing minerals doing a 4 warpgate dimaga should have died there.

Sure, dimaga probably should have gotten hive and maybe faster 4th because roaches and hydars are both really bad at 200/200 vs any kind of aoe attack as you see, but I see nothing that hasuobs did that your average 800-900 point diamond player couldn't have done, in fact most probably could have won with the +1 4 warpgate against a hydra build like that. And then finishing with pure stalker colossus using the stalkers to kill corruptors and just have like 3-4 more colossus instead of massing gas on templar and no upgrades at all.

Was impressed killing the first nydus, but hasuobs said it was a fluke, the rest was just watching the minimap and pulling probes into an easy win.
