Geez guys, Protoss is NOT unbeatable. You just need nydus, drops, burrowed roaches, infestors, hive tech, brood lords, ultralisks, 6 bases, and emp. Duh.

So I guess Mondragon will be winning everything now? I mean, he has the secret to beating toss that even IdrA and Ret don't seem to have, right?

IdrA said roach/infestor was going to make PvZ easy after 1.3

One week later, and that opinion was drastically gone. Until Mondragon wins with it *shrug*

Well, I'm sure sorry to see Mondragon lose, but all in all, CrunCher was the better player. I'm rooting for Boxer, MC and NaNiwa (& HotBid the awesome obs <3).
Also, yesterday's Boxer vs Sen series was much more entertaining than anything today.

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?


Fungal Growth shuts down blink, while ultras rip through stalkers like a hot knife through butter. This especially helps when Mondie had his Muta/Roach composition in G4 so that 1) there are less stalkers and 2) not all stalkers can fire at the mutas by blinking under them.


I thought same thing, but i believe the reason he didnt go hive was mutas. Mutas are sort of like sentry, the more you get the more you delay your tech because of the heavy gas investment. He pumped too many mutas, even if he got the hive not sure how many ultras, let alone infestors, he could have got out in time. Just theorycrafting tho.

Mondragon had about 5000 gas worth of mutas produced during the game. Maybe even more. Cruncher made Phoenices and high templars and Stalkers. Had Cruncher controlled his phoenices better he would have owned even harder. Imagine 5000 gas worth of infestors this game. With heaps of zerglings running by all the time.
The last game was a tech path loss.

This x10000

Mondragon built mutas against an army of ht blink stalker and pheonix... of course he was going to lose, that would be like p complaining that his zealots keep dying to bc's therefore its imba... honestly people watch the games and ACTUALLY think about it before spamming LR's with balance QQ

Cruncher played great, the fact that people are surprised he lost to someone who admittedly doesn't play alot of sc2 is astounding, the biased fanboyism is insane.



You're looking at it wrong.

Cruncher made stalker/HT BECAUSE mondragon made mutalisks, so yea obviously infestors would've been good against that. But if he didnt make those mutalisks then cruncher would've just made the deathball like he did the other games, heavy on the colossi.

Even if stalker/ht was a reaction to the Mutas, Mondragon's decision to get mutas was not smart considering protoss opened with a stargate, how can you expect mutas to be effective when the toss is already pumping out one of its counters before you even drop the tech building?

It was bad decision making that cost Mondragon these games!

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.


I wonder if its because its hard to find that one beefy unit for zerg to really decide to structure their builds around. If you have a unit you really want to work, you can find ways to make it work. Look at Goody and mech play for example. Sure, he lost today, but hes proving Mech is viable. Ultras and Broodlords just aren't that same kind of unit for whatever reason that really feel like a strong plan to go for from the beginning. They seem to be a reaction if the game goes super long, but I get the feeling most zergs hope they never have to get them.

Meanwhile, CrunCher says - hell yea, I'm getting Colossus/Void Ray, and I don't care if I need to build 15 cannons to make it work. The point being that when you have a unit or units you really want to make work, you figure out ways to do it. Zerg doesn't seem to have that equivalent at the moment, and I think its stagnating the development of their meta game.

As always: I'm not very good so feel free to ignore me

The, "But they had High Templar" mentality is kind of stupid, you have to force shit to work sometimes.

Fungal Growth has 9 range, Feedback has 9 range, cast fungal before they can Feedback you.

It's not fucking impossible, don't just assume that the Zerg should throw his hands up in the air. Often times a composition will involve your opponent having a set of units that crush one half of your army, and another set that crush the other half, but the set that crushes one half is weak to the other half.

You make shit work, Zerg needs a single tech structure to produce units, throw shit in there, he was sitting on 1400 gas by the end of it.


Pfft, who needs positioning, forcing, and other advanced tactics? True gosus know that Rock, Paper, Scissors is the ultimate strategy game.
