Ya I was actually thinking about this... he could have done some serious damage if he sent roaches/hydras to the front door... but then again he may not have done the damage at the 3rd expo if he split it up like that... hard to say but that was an interesting game nevertheless.

Because when 20 burrowed roaches pop under your army, it hurts. That's my guess.

No. In the last engagement he let ALL those hydras down the ramp by not forcefielding it. Big mistake IMO

Well Deathballl Strategy not so unbeatable it seems?

I hope people learn from this and see the difference from the Cruncher vs. Idra Game 1.
And stop crying about imba and use their tools.

very very very very risky play from morrow, but this strat really is the only thing you can do on this map if toss takes the bottom or the top expo. Toss should win in such a situation, but this toss forgot to forcefield the ramp against the hydra and lost...

In a normal situation I think think zerg should be able to win that, but if toss makes a mistake I guess it's possible.

And dont get me started on any caster that is not day9.

i'm seriously still laughing, i don't think morrow is made for playing zerg it doesn't fit with his playstyle.

I dont know about you but the way Morrow just won is the main way i win against toss. A decent sized army getting cut down but more and more units keep streaming. Its rare that i win a game based off one battle.

And in the same situation, it all happens around the toss's third.

K. But it's not MC. Morrow played brilliantly.

and MC does mistakes as well, i wouldnt say MCs control is too much better than hasuobs - he just did some mistakes there which are unusual for him.

Hasu walled off his nat ramp. By expo-ing to 6 as his 3rd, he pretty much was staking everything on having his future income come from there, and then be able to force his way up and proceed to snowball out and up into the Zerg main. So Morrow moved in before the deathball could be assembled and threaten the Protoss economy.

he went for a late game army composition, intentionally getting few gateways. He had 2 stargate and a robo. He wanted the most supply efficient deadball, counting on the map to defend him. morrow knew that. GG :D

Yeah Hasu made a huge blunder by not resupplying his lost sentries for that wonderful choke.

That's the thing, you can't remake sentries at the same time as making colossus, just not enough gas. That first blunder where he lost all his sentries was the turning point

imo he should of switched from collossus to HT since morrow made corrupters and it was a constant fighting down the ramp = useful storm + and a long engangement
