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.

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.


You are clueless. So you are saying that he should just never attack and let qxc take base after base? He denied alot of expos. And you think its better to have just corrupters instead of broodlords? Because thats what he did, free up supply for broodlords.

Ret, don't listen to the masses, you're a cool player and definitely deserved your hard-fought win. No game is perfect (unless you're Flash or JD)

About the metalopolis game ret, why didn't you roam with your mutas closer to your 6'o clock gold that got killed like 4 times? It was always like a small m&m squad that kept killing your hatcheries while you were up around between the mains with your mutas.

I mean you have the creep spread + OLs for the rest of the map but at this one position you were in the dark in terms of intel, so why not keep units closer to that "high risk" expo?

When qxc started pumping the vikings, I kept looking for the production tab for more ultras.

Also, do you think using mutas and infestors been a better way to attack at the mass vikings than corruptors?


But still, epic series, amazing game 7, gg and gratz to both! So entertaining!


Point of making corruptors is not to kill vikings, it is to force terran to build vikings, In case terran stops building vikings you just switch to broodords. If zerg doesn't build corruptors terran will roll over him with 3/3 mech army.

Regardless, its because QxC is very solid, and it's not easy to break a turtling terran who basically has all chokes and air covered. What fruit dealer did in situations like that in the gsl is to make a counter attack in the form of say a nydus warm or drop elsewhere. He would Take advantage of the immobility of mech.
I asked my friend how the ratio at a party was, he replied. "Let's just say for every guy there was two dudes."

I think you are talking about feedback. I don't remember any notes about NP but could be mistaken.

even if you can't get the pdds you can get the ravens before they layout all of their pdds, and use them to make you own pdds. just read this in teamliquid.wiki here is the quote
"If you Neural Parasite an Overseer, Sentry, Infestor or Raven, all the Changelings, Infested Terrans, Hallucinations, Point Defence Drones and Auto-turrets you create will remain yours after the NP."

Yeah it's a problem, but maybe you couldve took advantage of the tank immobility by doing a massive drop where his production buildings were. And less encounters in the chokes and just wait til the turtle terran moves out to do a counter attack elsewhere forcing him to move his slow immobile army back.


With sensor towers this is really hard. Ret tried to massive drops both of which were utterly destroyed as QXC saw them coming and had turrets and vikings ready.

Oh come on, did you even watch? He had sensor towers and a massive viking fleet, how can you possible drop, let alone make a nydus?

Incorrect. Blizz changed it so that you can Feedback PDD again but you can't NP them still.

i lold at the nydus. i dont think there was a inch off space for a nydus in the terran space let alot let it be up for more than 2 seconds.

wonder why qxc didn't go battlecruisers... he had a viking advantage for most of the late game, so wouldn't bc + viking combo work? or was it just because he was so out-resourced?

Honestly I think Ret had the right idea. Just take the map and ram into that T defence over and over again. It will take awhile but you will win eventually. Key is just to keep your expos while denying him and keeping his force on defence. When the pressure was off for even a second Qxc started to deny Ret expansions. This almost led to Qxc coming back.

Zerg isn't called the swarm for nothing.

He basically had 1 mining base most of the late game. He just didn't have enough gas to sink into anything but vikings/tanks. If he did try go anything more gas intensive I think he would have fell.

Yup, I think a nydus or even a double nydus would've been really sick. However, the 50 minute long game was intense as shit.
