In long games it almost feels like the Protoss is on automatic. What I mean is that if I were to take over Nada's 200 army in Broodwar I would be totally destroyed, but if I would take over Hasuobs' army even I as a noob could roflstomp Morrow's 200 army.
BTW, doesn't it sound like Day9 already seen the match, or at least skimmed it trough?

Ads in the middle of the game. Thanks TL.

Terrible game by morrow, bad late game timings, did not harass. Finally, in that last fight, he just sat in the storms, it was like he had never seen a storm before. He also had no attempt to split his army between concaves.

That just pisses me off Lol are you serious? Hardly any useful aggression at all by zerg. Pushing up to the Protoss deathball is not agression. As zerg you have to take advantage of protoss immobility which MorroW did exactly zero. Really terrible play by MorroW.
There is no protoss immobility

MorroW played horrifically. He was up 200/200 to ~130 food, 4 base to 2 base, and got crushed. Gained a huge advantage then bad attacks, bad timings, deserved to lose. So what was he sopposed to do? NOT attack? have 200/200 supply full of roaches hydras and corrupters? Then toss rolls over with death ball? Morrow instead constantly attacked kept remaxing, and toss still rolls over with death ball.

yep, that is true in 99% of the cases. most players didnt get this yet, you have to let the protoss dance between bases and overmacro him meanwhile

Really? Day9 knows nothing about zerg, you heard it here first everyone. :-/

He was so far ahead, attacked with 200 vs 130 and couldn't do anything. morrow made absolutely horrendous engagements and lost a lot of units as a result. the supply was irrelevant.
The 4th was going down uncontested while Morrow was smashing into the natural of HasuObs and was also trying to kill one collossus specifically instead of trying to hit the other units.

k thats why terran never drops.

Morrow didn't even try to deny HasuObs third base, and he didn't handle those DTs well at all. Lost like 30 workers.
Every time I see Morrow play in big games I feel like he always 1 or 2 base all-ins. Now I've seen him macro, and I'm unimpressed.

Do some drops, nydus, ling harrass, some burrowed infestor shenanigans... You can't go ball vs. ball.
Actually if you go ultra/ling/bling/infestors you can.

Seems like BW ZvP style doesn't work Morrow!

With this kind of mentality and thought process, the game will never evolve. Everything can be countered on paper but almost everything is viable at the right time in the right place.

Morrow never even attempted to fake pressure on nat and attack third he just attacked on the same lane over and over again, no wonder he lost.

The thing is, it doesn't work lategame but there is a timing window when it is absolutely necessary midgame.

morrow attacked into a bunch of bad situations, never used drops, never used any multi-pronged attacks, and did not use infestors. The loss is 100% on him

Just because zerg are whining about ZvP, he is trying to show us: listen, if morrow had infestor, more broodlord, blablabla. Yes Clearly Day9 has no clue about zerg at all, they need to continue to 1A roaches into superior forces over and over!

Morrow deserved to lose that, he was to passive. You shouldn't rush for a roach/hydra 200/200 army and then just sit on it. He was almost maxed around 14 minutes, yet he didn't really attack until 16 or 17. He should of attacked right around 13-14 minutes just to pressure and started teching for broodlords immediately. He would of won easily.

Have you not seen the super aggressive ling/bling based plays that have become a bit more popular lately? It can engage pretty well. Not to mention drops.. imagine those same armies but forcing the protoss to split his army up. Drops also force the Zerg army to split up. -.- But I agree that Roach/Hydra is not the ideal comp at this point in the game. The point is which army does better in smaller numbers. Collosi have to have meat with them... stalker balls are effective in... well balls.
Yes we don't see this enough at all. The reason the protoss army is so effective is because it's all together. If you force the protoss to split up his army but attacking multiple locations it will be much easier to deal with.
