That was a pretty shitty pun.

The whole issue was Zenio went ultra tech without forcing even a marginally significant amount of vikings and then stayed on Ultra tech despite it not being optimal for the situation he found himself in. Yes. The tech switch is only devastating if you forced your opponent to tech switch first. No vikings = no benefit to switching to Ultras. Marauders, Marines, Medvacs, No Vikings and huge tank line = no benefit to staying on Ultras. | ||

There was a time when Byun was down to 3/4 tanks. Also if his entire tank line is there then make mutas and crush his production line. Not try to attack head on to a siege line, ultra or no ultra. | ||

And I don't even like Zenio in the first place but that was just painful to watch. Painful to watch? Perhaps, if you were cheering for Zenio. However, Day9 once said that the best games come from mistakes, and it seemed that the many mistakes from both players led to an extremely tense, back-and-forth match that was dramatic and enjoyable. As awesome as it would be to see both players playing perfectly, I think it is reasonable to settle on them making some mistakes in order for us to get a more epic game. The players may lose, but the audience wins. | ||

Send Ultras in, banelings behind and get the GG from the slaughter that ensues. I think this is really smart. You don't need to max out on Ultras. Just get a handful to soak up damage. | ||

Not try to attack head on to a siege line, ultra or no ultra. When ultras are fully upgraded, marines only do 3 damage a shot to ultras. They also have 500 HP :| So it takes a hell of a lot from marines to kill one. When combined with fungal, ultras do very well against marines. He really should have had a few banelings in there as well though. | ||

They got countered hard this game, but I guess top Zerg players will find a way to make it work. And it is way more fun to watch than the "standard" ZvT we get some much of. As for this game, I think that a few Nydus Worms instead of Ultras could have changed a lot of things. After all, Nydus canals were used to defend your faraway bases in BW, that should work in SC 2 as well. I don't know,maybe burrow? | ||

Also there was no vikings on the map at all, why not go back to broodlords. Really, the choice of sticking to ultralisks and fighting the turtling terran head on boggles me. It's hard to get all these units when u have 90 drones. Terran has mules (Byun had like 7-8 orbitals) and only use like 30% of their supply on workers. It's not Zenio's fault that Ultralisks suck. You can't go lings/banelings or roaches vs 3/3 marines and tanks. Also some of you act like Zenio should have dodged the EMPs with his infestors. He tried Broodlords but they're bad on such a big map where terran constantly uses drops. Mutalisks are fine but you can't get too many because the terran just a-moves you with his 3/3 units. It's just very hard for zerg to win in late game vs a good terran. | ||

30ish supply of lings in the nydus stung him... especially coulda helped saving the bases at south... broods on the tanks at the middle base that was terrans only base for a long while woulda won the game instantly.. really no balance issue to discuss.. Zenio should have won but didnt play with a clear mind... that is what makes the real pro's pro!! not cracking under pressure. | ||
