If circumstances in the early midgame were either better or worse, those gates would have been invaluable. They also saved Ace for a chunk of time when he was forced back to his cannon lines and was able to swiftly pull together a ball of stalkers and get back on the map.

EDIT: To clarify, I mean if he was pressured hard he could have deflected it and if FD didn't have enough map control he could have pressured.

i dunno, i think theres a lot of ways zerg can use to beat toss lately. i think toss really need to learn a new way to play PvZ, at least for me, i find it hard to win a PvZ recently.
i tried the tester, mothership rush off 2bases, works fine

Does it? When do you attack with it? I cant get it out faster than 12 minutes since I cant really remember how he did it.

can someone tell me how the pros drop like that? it looks like a moving drop. do I have to select each overlord and click on the image of the unit inside and do this for all 10 overlords (for a 10 overlord drop)?

Seriously

Blizz needs to give something to corrupters so they don't just sit there after killing colossi :X

They should have a walker form, using those tentacles as legs. That'd be hilarious.

They should be able to entangle roaches so they have the corruption ability in their attacks <3

Am I the only one that reckons zerg requires no micro?

Terran has to work their ass off to marine spilt, target banes and not get surrounded by lings. While zerg is just a-moving their blings? I mean a-move will make the lings auto surround as well.

Dunno, not impressed with revival, it was ensnare doing all the micro moves while zerg was attack moving the whole game.

No you're not. LosirA actually said he chose Zerg because they're the "a-move" race. ^^

ah okay so i am only hallucinating when i have to:

Send Lings/Blings/Roaches/Infestors/Mutas from various different angles into the battle, paying attention to that Ling/Roach are first
Dont let my roaches clump because tanks own them
Make sure Banelings hit Marines and not Marauder/Thor/Tanks
Fungal with Infestors and move them back
Dont EVER let my mutas clump
Bonus: Inject or you will lose your next fight

And all that at the same time. Screw one up and you lose the fight or even the game. (Of course only if armies are equal)

zerg is still the most a-move friendly race in the game. sometimes protoss goes on par with them but most of the time toss can't a-move.

doesn't mean zerg mechanically takes less skill to play. actually requires more of that imo.

Actually if you have tried to a-move a gigantic clump of banes and zerglings into marine-tank and watched all of your banelings die while the Marines just run back, you'd know that you have no idea what you're talking about

EDIT: Well last sentence saves

? did I say one could a-move entires armies into tank death traps? I said *in general* zerg can a-move with less hassle than other races; doesn't mean you can always a-move and into the ridiculous situation you're painting up.

It's by far the most common ZvT situation which is the only matchup where Z can even think about a-moving, doing it vs P is certain death. Sigh I shouldn't bother.

Ace has a really really scary-looking army, I think that he is at an advantage right now. He most likely has a max-timing attack planned out or something like that. he's apparently switched into Immortal production instead of colossus because of the roach trheat. Fruitdealer is upgrading better and getting banelings, feels like banelings bombs.

ZvZ is the a-move matchup lol. Just have bigger army and better upgrades and a-move on! Losing? pull back then try again.

Pretty much.

As for ZvT obviously you have to keep in mind the positioning/composition and size of the terran army (like every other race...) and then you can just A-move. Why? Because the necessary tools to break marine-siege tank requires next to no micro.

So fun when people who don't know how zerg works comment on how to fight as zerg XD

You do your a-move into seige tanks, please stream it as well so we can see your banelings run into tanks, it's hilarious.

The tool to breaking a small marine-seige tank push is great baneling micro. The tool to breaking a big marine-seige tank push is great baneling micro and great mutalisk micro at the same time, while the only thing the terran has to do is split marines.

I'm a high diamond zerg bro

Yet again I never said one can a-move into tank lines but once you find the right timing and position there are rooms for a-move once you actually target marines with the banelings, the mutas against siege tanks etc.

Zerg micro is mostly a reaction other races micro (that needs it) whose effectiveness actually relies on it.

Moletrap:"I have never seen Ace not FE against zerg"

Maybe because every toss FEs against zerg because you cant kill them off 1 base unless you proxy gateways 2 feet from they'r ramp-__-
