It used to be 4 gate, void ray/dt rushes, deathball or blink but Zerg learned to deal with everything except blink. The main reason is that countering blink usually requires the toss player to screw up. The way Zerg has of forcing a screw up is with the infestor but those come out way later so there is a giant timing where the toss can at the very least pressure/get some kills with no losses and in a lot of cases win outright. The window of time zerg has to get fungals out is pretty small. I think a couple spines could have helped a lot, but i think it would simply delay the inevitable. The turning point was when Huk got his 4th saturated before Idra put his 4th down. | ||

idra was not in a good position. huk had his third base almost finishing while being up in upgrades, tech and worker count. (that hardly happens for protoss) idra was morphing lair when huk's third was basically completed. blink stalker was simply one way to seal the game. huk was in an excellent position and he won by pushing that edge. i can't understand why people fail to see the game in a bigger scale than the units themselves. it reminds me of the days where terran users complained about ultralisks in bw. well, don't let the zerg get 4 gas. it's not about the units. | ||

Pretending like blink is this amazing new thing and that infestors don't exist. Yes, lets just mass one unit and expect a top tier opponent not to counter it. | ||

Idra just made roach ling, which is quite ineffective against well microed stalkers. No wonder he lost. On another note, I think Naniwa will win 2-1. I just have this gut feeling. | ||
