For all the people who want some more insight in this playstyle ( tt1 vs moonglade ) go check out the Day9 daily about Cruncher. IN that game there was also a baneling bust and the zerg did not get 4 queens. The baneling bust hits when the void ray is about to pop out and the baneling bust will probably fail to completely kill protoss. Protoss can pump out 3 Phoenixes and a Void ray very fast ( with CB from 2 Nexi). If zerg doesnt have 4 queens by then Zerg just dies. Once the air units have been pumped you get robo, 2/3 more gates and a robobay. Basically this is the time where you need to be afraid of Hydras. ( Idra vs Cruncher game 2 ). If the air units dont deal enough damage then you see Protoss getting Colossi first and then getting a third, again because of the Hydras. When protoss gets a third Zerg should just GG. Especially if there have been sentries building up energy all game long. We saw in the last game that TT1 had 70 ( ! ) probes. Cruncher in Idra vs Cruncher game 1 had about the same. You can support like 1 stargate, 1 robo and 6 gateways with constant CB on the Stargate and the robo off of this. No amount of Corruptors or Fungals can stop it once 4 Colossi and some Void Rays are out. I am really curious to see this build at MLG. I think Protosses will smash zerg on every map with an easy third unless someone gets the Hydra timing perfect.

MorroW might have an idea what's going on. Makes two spine crawlers and lots of roaches.

...but then makes a round of drones.

8:30 Roach warren being made, MC researching plus 1 melee and halucination. Burrow is being researched for Morrow, 6 gate incoming for MC and a robo.

9:00 MC kills his own cybernetics core to get out, mass roaches being made, 2 crawlers out as well. Huge push of mass sentries and some zealots coming.

Was scared there. Seemed like Mc moved out too soon without enough DPS units

MorroW moves out with to meet the attack and snipe out sentries.

Snipes a few sentries, but an immortal and stalker reinforcements forces MorroW back.

MorroW takes a 3rd.
