It seems pretty good in theory (be immune to early pressure, have good income). Being greedy. Zerg has almost no way to pressure the protoss, you can cut corners like a mofo. | ||

Broodlords shell army from a distance -> blink stalkers blinked to fight the broodlords -> which was where the roaches were, so pretty much all the roaches were fighting. The positioning of the battle wasn't a mistake by machine. What was a fault was army comp. At the end, machine had a stockpile of gas, and he could have afforded to get good infestor numbers. High infestor numbers also happens to be very useful to stop large numbers of blink stalkers from blinking underneath your broodlords. He should have waited a bit, get like a dozen infestors, and then pushed, and it would have been much more powerful. His Broodlords were in range of Storm though. Machine could have easily use a Nydus or an overlord drop to get Hasu out of position. Def agree with the lack of Infestors, with such tight chokes he can turn the entire map against Hasu with 8-9+ Infestors | ||

Spanishiwa style is forgiving if you are cost inefficient but you cant miss all the sentries with banelings... That was alot of losses He did burn a lot of sentry energy though, which is pretty good for the next time he engages. | ||

Gas restriction~ That wasn't really the issue, he had all the time in the world, Hasuobs was waiting for Machine. The main problem was all those useless roaches, they simply don't have the range needed to do anything in a choke. | ||

Machine may have had 99 problems, but gas wasn't one  Hasuobs had a bunch of high templar, and used feedback occasionally against overseers etc. I think machine felt infestors would be useless for that reason. That is where the map works against Hasu, with such tight and narrow path ways, how do you get Templars close enough to feedback Infestors? | ||

The casting though as I said before has improved a ton in general, I'm laughing so much tonight. | ||
