Also, when did whitera decide he was going to just 4gate every game? How did Morrow outplay Whitera? I think he made too many drones for a 4gate and he really didn't need that 3rd queen either. Or if those early lings he made were drones instead, and then when he actually made drones he made lings/roach instead, he might have been fine. | ||

Alltough he tried a 4-gate on Xelnaga it didn't work at all - and Morrow lost a more or less macro game. Edit: THANK YOU Day9, "DuckloadRa" aka "WhiteRa". <3 | ||

Morrow clearly is the better player IMHO, but Ra have a great understanding of the game and a game sense out of this world. So, I guess he does what needs to be done to win. | ||

But White-Ra was overwhelmingly ahead already when he attacked up the ramp, it's a bit silly to complain about his decisionmaking unless it outrights loses him the game then. | ||

I missed replying to this before, but whatever: 4gate pretty much always cuts probes, you still can't support 5 gates. You barely can support 4 gateways with 24 on minerals and 6 on gas and if he cuts before that, there's absolutely no way he can support 5. | ||

If it was cross spawns Whitera would not have pushed with the zealot and sentry first of all, the game would have been completely different, so there's no point in speculating about that... And as I said the reason he picked off the zealot and sentry is because he made a pretty significant amount of lings early. Making those lings instead of drones hurts Zerg's economy, so it's kinda expected that he does at least some damage to the toss too. | ||

But what you mention in the next sentence is a part of being good at the game... | ||

Close spawn meta is clearly heavily favored for protoss. and guess what, whitera is 4gating again. | ||
