You could say "use baneling drops instead of rolling them along the ground" or "fungal with your infestors instead of running them in and doing nothing".

Do you understand how awful ultras are vs toss?

xiaot is a monster. These Chinese protoss players favor getting blink stalkers and delay the rest of their tech.

LOL rage quit!

Seriously though, I don't think he played that terribly or anything, but more emphasis on Infestors may have been useful; blink just fucking destroys Broodlords most of the time unfortunately.

This is why you drop the banelings, and don't a move them.

That was brutal. Xiaot turned back every attempt at an attack.

Xiaot is a fucking beast. Looked to me like Idra played allmost perfect, but xiaot just took that easy..

Very depressing watching that, and thats coming from a Protoss player. I usually don't buy into Idra's whine, but that was very stupid, completely locked down at every turn by forcefields :/

God lol. I'm glad i play protoss. Forcefield is so op.

That's a negative. FF's are pretty hard to use well.

This kind of play definitely deserves praise. I really think this level of play can only be seen on the very top of korea.

so frustrating. xiaot just says "you are not allowed to attack" and there is nothing idra can do about it

Baneling carpet bombing? Multiple angles of attack? Drops? Fungal?

To be fair Idra's army control wasn't the best and he never dropped banelings, instead choosing to roll them on the ground for whatever reason. Thats gonna fail every time against a Protoss with good forcefields and XiaoT had some amazing forcefields so yea...
