Intriguing build by Losira, I feel like it could work with a bit of adjustment. THe first battle didn't do enough damage at all with the baneling/infestors. Still though, strange to see a zvp with no roach or hydra.

1 Colossus could be used for the forcefields

That's actually a great point.

This was an AMAZING build, but it was executed just not quite right.

I don' think Losira was familar with how to play that style >< Don't think he had hive, 3/3, crackling upgrade, no blords or ultras... and going all banes means you have no units left over to kill the parasited colossus before it wears off

Genius had surpreme control in these battles.
Losira didn't fungal / have enough infestors for np and fungal.
Genius had beautiful force fields and split / blinks.

I really hope LosirA doesn't get kicked down again now, he's such a promising and entertaining player

Like most protosses. They just get colossi and blink

Losira had to kill those colossi earlier.

It's really not that simple, those forcefields, that colossi and stalker spread against banes, his control was pristine.

It was just the NPs wasn't it? It was like putting a stasis field on the most dangerous units and doing roughly the same damage to stalkers that fungals would have done.

Great play from LosirA, if only he had better control (using neuraled colo's on eachother, fungaling the main army, bane drops instead of letting them get FF'd out) he would have won no problem.

I think he maybe should've pulled the colossi to his army and killed them off, then just deal with stalkers with speedlings and infestors

That would have been very clever.

Stalker split? Not MKP, more like WTF?

Standard protoss deathball still reigns supreme. Too bad as Losira is one of the funnest zergs to watch

It reigned supreme not because of balance, not because of unit comps.

It was 3 base vs 3 base. He didn't fungal as his banelings rolled in so they do max dmg, instead he let the stalkers / col spread. he got out macroed and out microed during battles.. that strat is actually insane if played WELL

if there was a way to flank with the blings that would of been such a great build, not enough ff's to protect the protoss ball from multiple sides
