The part that confused me was that he kept producing mutas. After the form came out, you think he would have gone something else.

Also, Ghosts can be hit by feed back, so I guess Terrans never should build them...wait...

Maybe get some infestors with that 1.7K gas, commit less to mutalisks against blink stalker/HT. There's plenty of things that he could do better.

HT hard counter infestors. you know that right?



Uhh no they don't. They really don't counter each other. As the above poster stated get the infestors to go along with the mutas. Fungal stops the blink zerglings can surround. He was kind of implying that without stating it.

HTs insta-kill Infestors using Feedback. There is no way you can say HTs do NOT counter Infestors unless you are joking.

Stop using the word "counters" You're making Day9 lose sleep at night.



He's making me lose sleep at night by using the phrase "Fantastic Storms" "Fantastic Forcefields"


It's a little know fact that storming buildings is fantastic.

He never quite responded to Cruncher's composition. When he went for the big muta base snipe he should have killed the tech off. He could have killed the archives and possibly the cyber core and that would have bought a lot more time for him. Also fungal seems like it should be super effective against these stalker clumps. Sure there's templar there,but each feedback is a storm lost. Probably needed Hydras or the infestors to just be cost effective against those big clumps. Maybe baneling drops would have been a nice edge to add in in the mid late game. Idk tbf Cruncher's air opening is superstrong. It really prevents that 3rd from going up.


I think in theory ultralisks would be the way to go vs stalker+HT, and I think he might have been able to get them out in time after that massive hold at the 4th if he started it after his hive instead of the greater spire (which never saw any use). I gotta say I was impressed at how nicely Cruncher responded in unit comp to Mondi's muta play - mass mutas would do great against void+colossus but Cruncher showed he is more than just a 1-trick pony.

I still feel bad for zergs

I think it would have been better if Mondragon did something with the mutas. He let them pile up and sit in his base and when the mutas were discovered he still just let the mutas sist in his natural for several minutes letting Cruncher build tons of phoenixes.

Infestor/Ling/Hydra and/or Ultra would have been a better choice from Mondi against Cruncher than his Roach/Muta/Ling in G4.

Cruncher did outplay Mondi in G4. But sad to see the way Mondi lost in G2 and G3. D:

why no hydras vs mass stalkers? why so overreacting vs cannonrush?

You don't go hydra against high templar.


Nor marine against toss.

-.- cmon now.


No that's actually true, because Hydras can't really dodge the storms, because they're fatter than marines, yet still very fragile. Marines fare much better honestly.

It looked like he trying to go mass ling at the end there, and honestly that was probably the best choice, but he didn't have the upgrades


Watch Idra v MC at Dreamhack. Idra mismicro'd his Broodlords brought his Hydras in to try buy some time for them and gets hit by 3 storms. His Hydras get floored because they can't get away or you have to predict Storms before they happen.

Mondi needed fewer mutas and more infestors to shut down those blink stalkers.

The better player always wins. Today, Cruncher was the better player.


qft




If the better player always wins theres no point in playing the game unless you are redefining 'better player' as whoever wins the game. When people say things like "the better player always wins" its intentionally ambiguous and stupid. If you truly believe that, then you cannot judge players outside of win/loss ratio at all, and cannot compare players other than head to head games, and even further, all comparisons of 2 players mean nothing until the game is even played. So either you truly mean what you say and better stick to that belief and never judge players outside of head to head win/loss or you are a misguided idiot.
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

I just hope that new maps are going to have a more challenging 3rd for toss to take.

It's called defending. And it's effective when your opponent cuts collossi for more stalkers.


yea read what i quoted thanks bye

Agree. I don't blame him for doing it, but it bothers me how easily a protoss can turtle with basically no fear of getting punished.

This series upsets me... I mean, I believe in playing to win of course. But it didn't seem fair, Mondragon was playing so well, battering CrunCher left and right. Normally when someone wins a series that convincingly it feels natural to say they played better. But here it doesn't, it doesn't seem fair that Mondragon lost, he's so much better than CrunCher, I'm sorry but it's true. If CrunCher wins this TSL, I will be deeply upset. Hopefully Naniwa will beat him, as Naniwa is actually very good.

CrunCher is just a cheesey player who likes to BM people. I'm bothered by these results.

I cannot wait to see what State of the Game has to say about all this.



How was CrunCher playing worse than MonDragon the last game? I'll give you Shakuras, Mondragon played brilliantly and it was sad to see him lose. But the game on Metaloplais, you can't honestly blame imbalance on that. There wasn't even a deathball, CrunCher just played that very well

I love how people are saying Infestors would've been useless because of Feedback. Is everyone really stuck in this "X hard counters Y" mentality?


Yes. That and "You can't do X because of Y".

That's the biggest problem of Zerg metagame now.

I'm sad for Mondragon. Last game he really could have had it, but he sticked to Roaches and Mutalisks.
I think one of these transitions would most likely won him the game:
Corrupters instead of more Mutalisks (Julys old style)
Hydralisks. Cruchers Colossi came out to late.
Infestors.

In my mind there is absolutely no doubt that the game is lost when protoss gets his third, so my judgement may be clouded, but I can't understand why day9 repeatedly talks about hive and infestors. has there been a game where zerg could win, or just did not lose in an absurdly one-sided fashion, by getting hive or infestors?
