I'm very curious if it was Kiwikakis intention to let IdrA scout that 4 gate since it seemed like he put no effort in hiding it.

would it be different if idra held 4-5 hydralisk production and made infestors instead. and use it on blink stalkers with hydras, may be a defensive stance?

Infestors were being made, but his main army died before they got out


I saw that infestors were being made on production tab. my question was if he had infestors way before when idra hindered the number of colossi.

idra's tier 3 is always too late.

he has stated many times he think zergs hive tech is terrible, a lot worse than lair tech.


not sure what t3 would have done for him there
brood lord vs mass stalkers is lololololol
and ultras are abysmal


No matter how bad he thinks hive tech is, you still need it for +3 upgrades and a cracklings. The late tier 3 is a legitimate critique.

He did go for infestors to fungal the blink stalkers, it was however, too late.

More like sexy palm trees outside kiwi's natural that didn't let IdrA units past... more stupid map additions to make chokes.

LOL. Colossi were *proven* to be imbalanced already in the first episodes, and now even hallucinated colossi are OP!

On a serious note, Root could totally come back! Although Zerg has the advantage on Blistering Sands. Wow, haven't seen this map in a while...

kiwikaki took a risk in essentially double expading after his 4gate got scouted, and it paid off. He cut so many production cycles and teched, I don't think he could have held 2 base roach pressure. But maybe he just had a good read on how idra plays.

After that base is up all slowly goes south for the zerg, it's not really a matter of hydra control or unit composition. Idra should know this very well, but maybe he simply scouted the 3rd just a tad too late.

Strife now drops his expo.. seemed really late?

That's what I meant, the forcefield placement abused that perfectly or kiwi may have just outright died.

Not really, thats a myth. Hydras barely even beat stalkers cost for cost.

Kiwi drops a 4th gateway; looking similar to the last game! Roach warren is almost done for Strife..

Please open the production tab

6 sentries out for Kiwi - looking for that zealot, sentry push.. Kiwi moves out into IdrA's natural; forcefields block the ramp to the main; strifecro trying to hold until the spine crawlers can pop.. Roaches on the way for StrifeCro as Kiwi backs off.. Expands and drops a robo

Glial reconstitution is on the way as well as burrow.. so lair is obviously done Collossus tech is on the way for Kiwi, Strife drops an evo chamber.. Strife goes up to snipe the zealot at the watchtower and Kiwi force fields roaches on the platform! and Kiwi wipes most of them out! very clever play by Kiwi!
