He might have sneaked a probe out or probably just assumed that there would have been an expansion by then. It's pretty common, maybe even standard, for Zerg's to take that 3rd expo in that particular situation. Otherwise they will end up falling behind in a macro game. If July wasn't going to take it, he would have attacked with a lot of units and I'm sure Anypro knows the timing for that if it were to come. | ||

I can't think of any information he got that would make an Allin more viable than a macro based game. All the information he needed was the finals between MC and July. He knew July was bad at defending Warpgate allins. Okay, so he struck at his opponent's weak point. A smart choice. Play to win, man. If I played against some hypothetical player who was the best macro player in the world but always died to, say, cannon rushes, then I'd be an idiot to not cannon rush him every time I played him. | ||

Why dont you wipe your tears away and actually watch the game instead of crying about imbalance. I think you're taking a bit more offense to this than I am. He engaged at first without an observer. | ||

Saying to just make 4-6 spine crawlers at your natural on 3 bases, without taking into consideration the income/drones/highly reduced Roach count is stupid. | ||

He would have only had to stop half a wave of production to get enough money... July was too greedy and just didn't have enough units/upgrades to deal with the attack. People just want every game to be a 200/200 macro game with carriers motherships and every tech unit, but anybody thats played SC for more then 5 minutes know that just doesn't happen.. protoss units are much more expensive and losing all your sentries in an attack basically means you've lost because you won't be safe to expand to a third for a long time it's an all-in unless he damages july's economy horribly | ||

If a player beats another player in a series, the winner was the better player in that series. Overall, maybe not, but in that series, definitely. Otherwise, he wouldn't have won. Pretty obvious, though many people don't like admitting it. How can you argue this? Noone can know who is the actual better player, so noone can know that the better player actually won. A game which isn't 100% balanced (as no game featuring 3 distinct races ever can be) does not automatically reward the better player. Not even in mirror matches do the better players always win if it's 7 pool vs hatch first. People are upset because in no matchup like ZvP lately have the audience so many times thought they saw the better player lose, and the lesser player win thanks to the advantages of his race when it comes to mind games, threat of allin and strong pushes, and sheer unit strength. | ||

With the sheer amount of extreme anti-anyPro/Protoss flames going on, I think that a pretty insightful statement, despite being very condescending, is the least of the problems here. | ||

Things that could have swung that game in julys favor. 1. when protss does Forge Fe, lair before speed is an option, so you can get a faster burrow and burrow movement. 2. sniping an obs is possibly in some situation 3. july had time to opt for a +1 carapace to negate the +1 4. a few roaches, or ling pressure to A. supply block anypro, or delay push 5.his use of changling wasn't that good , he could have been more subtle with it 6. A few spines may have helped? 7.I think if july searched burrow before roach speed, or burrow movement sooner, he would have been able to to handle that better, also his burrow timing was about 10 sec delayed after alir, because he opted for roach speed first 8.better creep spread with ovies could have delayed proxy pylon placement Overall july acted correctly but, that looked on the razor's edge. Z v P is not neccesarily imbalanced, but this isn't a common build, early FF are very punishing for zerg players and the new warpgate changes may help. July seems to be overall the better player, having a winning record against anypro, and anypro made a very non-code S mistake in game 2, were this a best of 5 i think the results would be different. | ||

Sure you might lose your 3rd but you can run your drones away and the constant baiting will give July time to get more units out. Once the FFs are gone, move in and crush the army. Even if you had lost the 3rd hatch in the process, you can counter attack and do damage/contain. To match the 4gate army production we need 2 hatch ( and 1 queen at least) in terms of larva and cost of units. That's why you often see people losing to 4gate even though they scouted and prepared it. It's because they forgot to inject one time and couldn't keep up with the protoss production ( so if you are protoss, if you manage to kill that 2nd hatch it's auto-win with reinforcement ) To match the 6/7 gate production ( which is almost 2time more units than 4gate ) you need 3 hatchs with queens larva-wise. Losing the third is auto-lose also. The only thing he could have done was catch the protoss army on his way instead of playing around his third | ||

Didn't Artosis mention that they both had 48 workers each? Not sure but I think I heard him say that. Still, July had more stuff at the beginnning (food was like 130 to 100) but the forcefields made the Protoss army untouchable and he kept trying to push in. | ||

He engaged at that point in time in an attempt to kill the army or take the third out. He's not Alicia or MC. | ||

The fact of the matter is that the nexus cancel is essentially a coin flip to decide the game, and frankly thats bullshit. July guessed wrong and even with Anypro losing the forward pylon, the probe, and the voidray he still loses because of the lack of an defenders advantage when facing warp gate. | ||
