Minigun didn't committ to the 4 gate at all, in fact all he made was a 1 zealot and sentries before his nexus. It was pretty much a fake attack into a 3 gate expand, with 150 minerals spent on a 4th gateway that did nothing. The tradeoff was that minigun sacrificed a bit of his economy, but in return had more production potential against a roach / ling attack. Idra played into it and got a disadvantage. | ||

The game was over this game was a game he had lost that the only way he could have possibly won was if minigun went afk. | ||

It's really frustrating, because he has adapted in several ways, but he's just given up solving that riddle. | ||

FF everytime he wants to fight almost endlessly. Either burrow under the forcefields, get Ultras, get broods to make them attack head on or baneling drop over the forcefields. A Zerg has options and running your units into the forcefields is not one of them. | ||

This match really demonstrated the gulf in skill between Nestea and Idra. Roach burrow is actually pretty pointless in late game (it's good to hold off heavy sentry 4gate or 2 base pushes), but once it's the late stage - Minigun has technically enough sentries to forcefield on top of the roaches as they burrow (so they will be stuck while they are getting burned by Collosus) - reminiscent of Morrow's roach heavy PvZ. | ||

He could have pulled a comeback if he tried. possibly Miniguns army was at the deathball stage. He could of pushed after that battle and won without micro. | ||

He put on pressure with those units because Idra rarely makes many units at that point in the game, to force units (which worked). At that point he forced Idra to make a hard decision, go all in by staying on even base with Toss and making units, or make just enough to defend and try to extend the game by taking a third.

You don't always move out with your army with the intention of killing the enemy. | ||

But it wasn't--it was an MC 4-gate, and if IdrA had built any fewer units he would have died after the nexus cancel+warp-in+FF on ramp. What bugs us Z isn't that IdrA's later attack failed, it's that Minigun was able to play an all-in, see that his opponent reacted appropriately, and immediately about-face and switch into economic play without being behind. that by it's very definition is not an allin | ||
