Just saying, it's pretty damn micro intensive to burrow and unburrow injured roaches. I'd prefer blink micro over it big time. Stalkers are nice and fat and you can quickly see which ones are injured. Roaches... look like a mass. Not saying it isn't impossible, in fact it's merely beyond my ability I'm sure Code B players can do it fine. But it is difficult! | ||

With burrow a toss player looks really dumb when the robotics hasn't even started to be built.... I know. Its so strange. I guess its cuz of the metagaming where 6 gates arent as common right now as they were a little while ago? IDK. | ||

Yeah you are right....he dropped out first round, while DRG was the one who failed (against him). Was mixing that up. | ||

When he goes all-in, it's not just a regular all in. It's all-in to the point where if his main is mined out, he doesn't build another CC, he floats his first one. Also, he just plain looks like a villain. | ||

Fair enough. Though I would point out you can't just burrow as they get damaged because the burrow animation takes long enough to get them killed (unlike blink which has no animation). Popping out under them is fun I guess ... I'll have to add that to my games more ... I currently go fast burrow (for banelings) versus Terran as forcing them to scan 10 times across the map shuts down their pushes, guess I need to do the same with roaches and lings. It's true the 100/100 is cheap though. | ||

Hurt burrowing is way too hard I am sure lol but you know you could save one of the roaches here and there. But imagin if he had burrow close to the first engagement. Then bought time for burrow movement instead of speed (or and speed (since toss was waiting for blink). Then the toss would have been destroyed and looked like a tool  | ||

It "was" the solution until P players realized that they could build a couple cannons and defend against burrow with total ease. | ||

Big props to him for doing that. | ||

Obviously I'm talking about burrow as means of defending vs 5/6 gate pushes. Which is also what my quoted post says. Sometimes the internet is weird... | ||
