Ret just throwed units away because he was so ahead in terms of ressouces that he thought it was over and could just overwhelm qxc.
Sad that people don't understand such obvious things.

i only tuned in the last 20 minutes but dont get why people think this was the best game ever...

ret had this game won for so long, he just failed pretty hard at finishing it.
Impressive play by qxc to stay alive that long though.

Anyways, it's great to finally see my favourite BW Zerg at the top again

Why does everyone keep saying that ret should had ended it earlier? What could he do? He was forced to let him mine out, and keep switching between blord and ultralisk to make the vikings or tanks useless. He played it out perfectly imo.

Well done ret, but seriously you give me a massive headache with the way you throw away units/hatcheries when you're ahead. Luckily you managed to starve qxc without dying, but goddamn that game was so tense :S

im not sure how i was supposed to finish it? maybe theres some secret things that units can do in sc2 that i didnt find out yet but mass tanks + mass viking + mass pdd + PF in near vinicity is pretty unkillable lol

losing 3 hatches and not taking the super safe 12 o clock base is not what I'd call perfect

not saying you could have done much more, ggs, however when qxc did throw down mass pdd, you could have NPed all of them and used them in your favor
edit: i think you can NP pdds...pretty sure i read it in another thread if not ignore me

I'm really wondering if it could've been a good idea to just swap to mass roach at some point, they do quite well vs tanks, right? And if you have a ton of bases mining you can just whip them out like nothing.

Also, did you notice Ret hadn't taken his own natural expansion (with the debris) the entire game? I guess some games, you are just so busy you don't have the time to take it out, when in truth you could easily knock it down and voilá there's a free base for you.

You don't attack into PF's tanks and Thors over and over and over. He tried drops a couple times but dropping 32 zerglings into a base 30mins into the game is pointless.
If at first you don't suceed, deny you were ever apart of it.

That was just insane, if QXC could of just managed to be closer on the base count... And even with such a huge base advantage QXC was holding 300 style. This is the kind of contrast in style in TvZ I love so much. The incredible strength of Terran mech versus the insane swarm and macro of Zerg. Serious geek chills here.

definitely a fun game to watch. im more impressed with qxc's defense and just holding the line against 8 bases. Ret lost like 100k resources in units or something. GJ by ret taking that advantage as well.

I don't even know what happened that game. I mean.. what the.. what? How did ret not win earlier, how the hell did qxc survive for that long? Holy goddamn what an end to a series.

3-3 tanks planetary forces and how terran units are way more cost effective than zerg specially in the hands of a great player like qxc?

I dont know, games like these werent that uncommon in bw. Why are people flipping on this like ret played bad? he didnt.
Do it beautifully
