FoxeR ---the god of marine micro Eh... that includes the 10+ mutalisks he suicided into marines, right? | ||

Fungal Growth is no spell to use in combat, you can use it when he moves out and delay his push while weakening his marines severely. It counters the strategy 100%, but it's very hard to get infestors out once you are pressured that hard, so it was the correct choice to not go infestors that late, he had to stick with muta/bling/ling. But if he sees that many marines + some tanks when busting the front he should go infestor / bling / ling imo, it's much stronger against bio and if you are a bit careful you can shut down drops quite decently. I think Kyrix lost because he lost like 1500 minerals worth of overlords unnecessarily, Foxer on the other hand played better, but missing combat shields (marines with combat shields and this much upgrades can survive 1 baneling, maybe even 2 with fast medivac heal) almost costed him the game IMO. It was also pretty unlucky to lose that first factory, he could have won with his first push with 2 more tanks from my point of view, because he cuold have pushed a bit slower and would have had tank backup before mutas were out. | ||

You make small boxes and pull smaller groups out from the larger one. I'm not good at it but that's how you split big groups in broodwar, pretty sure the technique hasn't changed. | ||

Mind blown yet again when I realized he didn't even have combat shields. I agree. It was like watching Brood War marine micro just TWICE AS FAST. His reaction speed was seriously impressive. The sheer madness in pushing relentlessly, the constant amount of action we get. WOW just WOW. | ||

"Enemy has counter units to my units, guess this means I have to build even more" ROFL FoxeR fought most of the time OFFCREEP and he had super micro while Zerg just a moved his army into the marines. You cant compare a moving 0-0 counterunits against 3-3 microed units =/ | ||
