Interesting, would templar be a better option then colossi vs that? I'd say a lot of highly upgraded gateway units instead. Charge and blink should be key against that fairly weak but very fast army by Spanishiwa. It might also be one of these situations were many canons are actually good. Archons are good against this, I would think? And cannons would be great. VR's too, in small numbers, to force corrupters.
True, but it's really hard to improvise successfully against a refined strategy, especially if it goes against everything you normally practice in PvZ.
To be honest, Minigun should have come prepared with some crazy stuff of his own.

heh so many protoss have tried that dt thing before because spanishiwa takes such late gas geysers but almost everytime that happens. The queens just keep transfusing until the spores/overseers are up.
Really nice well thought up build.

Anyone else notice he dropped a changeling in the gap in the wall so that a Zealot couldn't be warped in to prevent the speedlings running in?

I did not see that, but that's pretty impressive. I like what I'm seeing out of Spanishiwa so far.

I haven't seen Spanishiwa lose yet, heh.

Spanishiwa has a crazy insane playstyle watching right now and wow.
|
This is why I hate people that complain that zerg is broken and can't beat protoss.
It's a simple matter of doing something different to take advantage of the current style of protoss.
Really like this style by spanishiwa, very different from the "well, I build roaches, and then I lose to mass stalker"
|
I'm off to the sign up to the fanclub right now. =P
|
I liked Spanishiwa before this but still thought he'd lose to Minigun... but dang, he's crushing Minigun. I hope he does some Nydus play for game 4.
|
according to darkforce and even sheth, this style of play isn't viable in high level play (as said in the strategy thread). It's hard to see what they were saying when spanishiwa is doing this well in this showmatch series. Then again, it doesn't look like minigun is playing his best? I don't know what to think

I noticed that too. Spanishiwa is great at doing the small things. I think he is going to be a very good player.

Wow... Spanishiwa is truly becoming a beast. That timing on the DT's was so good. And that run by with speedlings into the Minigun's main was just om nom nom nom...!
I think I have a new hero! ^^

It's more like
"well spanish builds mass lingz, i will keep making many stalkerz"
Mini is playing extremely disappointingly, compared to say kiwikaki :/

Minigun not mining with half his probes...

I think it has potential, but Minigun is playing really poorly atm
|
No surprises in that game. I think he needs a better way to hold that ramp, because that's just a basic Protoss pressure earlygame.

I wonder why they used that close position metal map.... shouldve used the mlg version

if mini just goes mass zealots in response to his lings, spanishiwa will just kill him with banelings
