I think that was power of queens. Ret made around 6 queens. 4 for attack and 2 in base.Queens and roaches don't consume too much larva for their cost allowing more for drones.

that wasn't an all in

if you noticed the production tab, just when ret saw the fact/starport, ret droned up like 20 drones

by the initial roach/ling/queen attack ret was up 20 workers, it was like 45 to 25 or something absurd

also, investing in starport/banshee tech and having it do zero damage basically puts T so far behind, plus it didn't help that he kept making banshees that were useless and didn't do anything all game.

That wasn't all-in, he did a drone cut, forced a trade and was pumping like 25 drones during the attack + muta harass. ~_~;

he was pumping drones during the attack? oh, thanks, I missed that somehow. still feels like the attack wasn't really worth it, no? he didn't really kill all that much.

I don't mean to complain even more, but I would have enjoyed watching this event. The stream is just unwatchable for me, =(, Hopefully in the future it works out better.

Actually I think he killed a lot of defending SCVs so maybe worth it.

The attack kept naama's army in check and based off the damage he was able to drone extra hard. Part of what made ret's attack so good I feel was naama's build not being very efficient. But because he killed all that stuff naama couldn't move out safely and ret's advantage snowballed.

Looks like the option to lower quality is finally back.

I guess what I was trying to say is that I felt like the biggest reason why Ret was able to drone that hard was because Naama threw away his banshees for nothing against the queens and his banshees were an odd choice to begin with. I didn't think the roaches and lings actually did too much though. Of course trading armies would be awesome for Zerg at that point, especially since he was roach-heavy, but from what I saw, the roaches and lings didn't kill very much.
