*swears @ JTV*
Try the quality scaling, lower it to 480p and try it then if lagging. 
Also, Raelcun and TheGunRun are the casters.

Ace vs Sen on Xel'Naga right now! Ace going nexus first, Sen going pool first - epic
|
For people experiencing lag: try popping out the video. Worked pretty well for me.

Aw, gg Sen

Lag settled down for my about halfway through the game <3
Nice play from Ace

1-0 over Sen for foreign tournament bonjwa, Ace

a big stalker ball can kill like infinity roaches with blink, almost impossible to beat it without hydra DPS or fungal stun

Rally to replace forcefield with disruption web!

Not really, Sen would've had a much better chance if he wasn't so far behind in upgrades. 2/0 vs 0/0, come on.

I still doesn't matter. It would've been closer, but stalkers with blink that aren't in the position to be flanked will always be cost efficient against roaches. Just the math of the game.

Sure, it helps to kill stakers before they blink, but it all depends on a protoss's skill level with blink as well.
If you give a AI bot blink stalkers, they could probably kill 50 roaches with 20 stalkers without losing any.
Obviously this was more like 25 stalkers vs 30 roaches, but Ace deserved that battle with 2-0 and since stalkers cost 2x as much gas. It was just interesting at how FEW stalkers he lost, he didn't lose more than 5-10

Nestea lost to the same style against a random Chinese player, so yeah, I'd say Zergs have not figured out how to play vs. blink stalkers. Maybe Idra has an idea, but if so he's not showing it as foreigner Protoss players are still mostly relying on colossi.
In any case mass zerglings is probably the most efficient strategy to go on most maps, but Xel'Naga makes it hard due to the ledges, and Sen made roaches because Ace also had tons of sentries and some zealots. In the end Ace sacced all his zealots and sentries and it didn't matter because blink stalkers > roaches and Sen was out of money. IMO a fast tech to hydras is probably necessary.
In the timeless words of Liquid'Nazgul - Sen got blunked.

Sen threw that away by not unburrowing

+2 stalkers verse vanilla roaches is pretty horrific
|
Raelcun should cast more events, he is really great.
|
Ace has amazing micro, people dont appreciate how tough that is.
|
Is fast hydras the anwser to that then, not burrowed roaches?
