How does one stop that attack in g6 as Zerg?

i actually stopped it one time with spanishiwa build.

if u are able to get 4 spines out it stops every marine pressure cold.
works best on maps like shakuras, though, its a pain to defend on maps like xel naga, meta, typhoon etcetc. ( open nats ).

i guess u need banelings and creep spread there ... and a good scout if possible ..

Great games! Today I watched it after the GSL matches, but this series were much more brilliant and entertaining than any of the GSL stuff. I think that TLO played nice, multitasked pretty well and had reasonable game plans even the first games, but Spanishiwa was just fantastic. Great series guys and thanks for the fun.

I am so glad to have finally seen my two favorite SC2 players battle it out. I do wish that TLO was still playing random for it but I'll take what I can get. I'm very disappointed by anyone who has besmirched either of these players in the comments above. TLO has my eternal respect for playing random against some of the best players in the world, for excelling with every race, and for creating so many new builds and styles of play for each. And Spanishiwa has recently done almost that much for the zerg alone. There are a lot of great zerg pro players out there but none that are as daring, innovative, and versatile as he.

I think that each player had 1 game where they made big mistakes. For TLO it was the first game where he seemed not to notice that there was a path between the evo chamber and his barracks and then later made the mistake of attacking the evo chamber just when he had finally completed the wall. For Spanishiwa, it was certainly the 6 rax. He clearly scouted it so I can only assume he underestimated the defense he needed, which was 4-6 spines right away. He certainly had the money at the time. I also think that game 4 may have been the best played game for both players. TLO's consistent drops, sometimes double pronged and sometimes of staggering size, was truly impressive and would have knocked out most pro zerg players imo. The reason Spanishiwa was able to defend his far-flung expansions was due to his nydus play, which is so rare to see from other zergs. For that and his ridiculous worker advantage early-game I also commend Spanishiwa.

If either of the players are reading this I congratulate you both on one of the best series I have ever watched. You each already have a very proud record of play and an admirable temperament. Cheers! :D

TLO is capable of much better. I don't understand how anyone can judge Spanishiwa's build off this series when the games were decided by poor gameplay or an easily preventable attack.
