Damn, Kiwikaki plays this matchup so well. His opening unreinforced sentry-zealot 4-gate w/expansion behind is sexy as hell, and them he plays a great macro game followup.

Has any protoss tried to make their deathball, then go base trade, after making a mothership?

If zerg counter attacks and tries to base trade (like strife), protoss can just recall back and kill the army?

Want to see that so bad

seems to me like kiwikaki likes to make a few collos then do a huge tech switch.. with the main idea behind the strat being that the zerg overmakes corrupters.

KiWiKaKi has made mass stalkers and gone around sniping hatcheries and then recalled home. There was a really famous game where he did that on XNC. He's such an innovative guy

Ace match now!


I have to agree... I think EG would have done better playing 3v4 and not having to deal with KiWiKaKi. I expect both IdrA and Axslav would have had a better chance taking ddoro out.

IdrA should just not make hydras. go go roaches.

hydra are so good against stalkers though, and they have more range. if he went roach it would have been a lot worse for idra



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

well its all relaitve, roach are good cos of their health, stalker are good cos of their insane DPS. in an equal cost fight ling hydra will dominate mass stalker


You're ignoring blink. Normal stalkers get crushed by hydras, good blink micro throws all the math off. I don't think they're imbalanced though. Now that infestors deal extra damage to armored infestor/hydra will obliterate blink stalkers.

Idra needed either infestors or ultras, or both. And yes, ultras are great against blink stalkers. They both deal critical damage to them and tank lots of damage while hydras DPS. They actually force blink stalkers to immediately run away or die.
Ultras are a joke vs blink stalkers. Actually they're generally a joke in ZvP overall. They're only good if you have a huge economy to dump against an opponent relying too much on sentries (or if you already won).

Yeah except when the Zerg doesn't overmake corrupters (like IdrA, who made 8 corrupters which ended up killing 4 colossi), he still wins. I'm pretty sure that's not his plan at all. On top of that, he continued making colossi vs. IdrA in that game.

Probably, but Ddoro is not bad himself. I don't understand why they didn't let Axslav play twice though, given ROOT's only condition was IdrA doesn't play twice.

Don't have to force a base trade with a deathball, its called a deathball for a reason because you can you know..go kill them. Thats their base and army included.

I hate to disappoint you but PvP is his worst matchup while KiWiKaKi is a beast at it. In fact Axslav hardly ever beats KiWiKaKi.
