I can't wait until spanishiwa's double nydus/queen/broodlord slow pushes make a splash in televised games.

Was it bomber who danced in front of the other team that one time?

yea it was ST.Bomber, who beat Losira cause he did /dance (which cost him the game essentially) >_>;

GSTL seems to be a place for newer players who are hit or miss in the Code A qualifiers / Code A to get some real tournament experience under the belt. And practice dealing with the pressure of playing in front of a live audience and cameras. Also, the GSTL probably gives the more upper deck pro players a break from the pressure of Code A / Code S to focus on practice and chillin.

Why on earth don't more Zerg players use Transfuse, that looked so strong.


because if that attack failed from the Zerg, he would be left with 0 queens. And suddenly the Protoss is back in the fight.


yes because zergs are only allowed to make one queen per hatch... o wait


Actually given Zerg units in general (and especially roaches) are pretty cost inefficient you don't want a ton of queens (unless doing some crazy queen attack build on small maps). Most often you will see players get 3-4 on 2 base for early defense but then move those extras to the next bases instead of making new ones because they take up valuable supply.

As for the use of transfuse, it is great on broodlords or ultras, watch some spanishiwa games, he is actually pretty good about doing that. In fact it seems more important on ultras where 1 ultra with a ton of energy on queens ends up soaking up all the damage from a Terran army as the ultra/ling closes in.

Inca beat Losira just over a week ago I think.

Other than that, the last PvZ was the finals.

Code A prims are ACTUALLY hard, so... yea (qualifiers are hard from what IMYongHwa said >_>)

Queens take up army supply while being only situationally useful within an army - with Ultralisks and Broodlords.

There is no reason to make Queens in the midgame.

I can't recall exactly but Losira making his units dance, then proceeding to lose and his opponent doing it back to him was pretty great.

This seems to be the standard. Some of the newer Code S and Code A has had their breakthrough in the GSTL. Its the reason why I kind of like the GSTL. They send out the hard hitters when they need too.

I was about to say, Spanishiwa is having great success with 6-7 queens. In early games they defend against pretty much anything, you get sick creep spread and then later on you can transfuse. And the 10 supply for 5 transfuse are worth it I think (only if you go high-hp units like ultras or broods of course). You don't need to remax if your units never die.

Hasn't it been proven already that Spanishiwa-style isn't viable anywhere but on NA ladder, against some below average Masters.
