Lol is this a joke? he didint have the gas to get the infestor pit or time. But blink stalker or balanced rgiht? So answer is that sheth just isnt as good as puzzle clearly.

Sheth had 1k+ almost at all times :/

I'm so glad I picked Puzzle for my fantasy team, his control is ridiculous; it really makes up for missing out on Puma and having to trade off Hero for JYP.

Would be awesome if Overlords had their own rally point from the hatcheries =/
Anyway, gj sheth ! No shame in losing against such a good player.

It is Im surprised people aren't mentioning this. 7 is barely producable. 8 means one gate is always not producing, especially stalkers.

Im guessing the 8 gates are for a fallback plan so that if he fails he can make lean units which you can support 8 gates on.

Actually it takes 10 gates on 2 base to support zealot archon.

when you are microing a bunch of blink stalkers its better to have a couple macro gates.

not everyone has perfect macro while micoring constantly.

wait for Nestea to encounter this. It will be solved then.

Wait for the best Zerg player in the world to counter a strategy every Protoss is doing. Sounds good.

pooor sheth blink stalkers are so good, the timing it comes puts so much pressure on zerg its hard for them to get, say, infestors

sheth's positioning needed to be better to win, not that it was bad that game

kinda hurts to lose so many overlords too

how was his positioning bad when the roachs had to concave like every single time?

yea but MMA has pro as shit TvZ and sheth isnt that great ZvT so it would have been even more of a curbstomping probably. He most likely had at least a believable chance vs Puzzle since he is relatively unknown from his TLPD stats and Sheth prefers ZvP over anything. Also, ZvP has lately been favoring Zerg (excluding Dreamhack)

and homestory cup right?

(top 3 in homestory cup were toss)

Anyway is 3 base + 1 in base hatch possible to hold off aggression or the zerg will get too far behind?

I really don't think Puzzle had great micro, he was blinking stalkers back in big groups and wasn't actually being very efficient with it.

you do that in order to "dodge" the roach shots
if you blink back stalkers while the acid animation from roaches are flying, they won't take damage.

Sheth had the money but lacked enough production to get enough roaches out. Had he been supply blocked less and a 4th macro hatch in his base, he may have held tht. But ppl suggesting infestors and hydras are being silly.

I find it pretty funny that Sheth supporters were so happy that Puzzle beat MMA, then Puzzle just outplays him.

Well Sheths best matchup is ZvP so why shouldn't they be happy? Both of them are insanely good anyway, so I doubt he would have had a better shot against MMA.

Sheth got +1, and weapon upgrades for stalkers don't really make much difference. Blink with lol500apm made the push POSSIBLE, let alone effective. It ALL came down to losing those five overlords, at that point with an extra six roaches he'd have been able to finish puzzle's push off right there.

Well, his +1 finished after the majority of the fight was over.

Larva efficiency of speedlings is too bad. He didn't have the extra cash for a macro hatch, and he didn't have the larvae to blow on speedlings.

He made a couple of speedlings during the battle (very few though) but charged in from the front when he had already taken down the rocks and could have possibly flanked. (although it might have been a small flank)

Zerg just needed better decision making and better unit control. Pretty indecisive and shaky defense there

overlords should have their own rally it makes me sick when you lose cause your overlords are wondering to their deaths like retards

You just need to pay attention on them.... nothing more.

As a pro gamer you should be able to do that.

Its not that tough in fact.
