Ling roach allin? I think close positions can be doable for zerg at a certain window.

RET


he waited too much, at 14 minutes it was 50-60 food ahead.

He tried that timing, but it was denied by the Nani snipe. The void ray/phoenix harass was quite succesful as well.

edit: I think Ret's build would work most of the time versus a forge fast expand on a large map like Tal'darim.

Why do they allow close positions?!? Isn't like the whole community unanimous about removing close pos?

I second that

Ret droned too many to 80, a bit overreacted

and missed the timing window due to cool micro from Nani

The 3 infestor snipe really didn't matter at all. Nani would have held the push regardless in defensive position and in the last battle 3 infestor wouldnt have made the difference either. He simply didn't have any air units in time. Either need corruptor or broods to deal with the maxed out P or maybe mass banedrop.


The problem is zerg is so fucking weak while trying to completely switch from roach/hydra to broodlords and nani hit that timing.

Astoundingly good player from Nani from Mid into Late Game.


Really? He just turtled and a-moved a deathball. Ret just fucked up massively by staying on roach/hydra all game. Didn't get the spire untill Hive was done and didn't have broods or corruptor out untill the end.

Anyone that doesn't understand how nani's constant air harass and essential infestors snipes completely disabled ret from doing any sort of meaningful attacks (which is sort of a must when you max out on roach/hydra/ling) shouldn't be watching these games.

If that was macro macro a-move deathball to you then you're missing out on so much that I don't think there's much sense in watching these games tbh.

Think you're completely missing the point then, that push doesn't have to kill nani. Exchanging army is perfectly fine in that situation, it's actually beneficial in the sense that it leaves ret with free supply for broods etc. Nani however does not want his army reduced at that point for obvious reasons.

Can the whiners quit whining and accept that both players and both races are pretty fucking equally strong and either of them winning is not because of a single unit, but because the other player was not able to prevent the game from getting into a situation where that single unit became lethal. Whole other thing.

Great series so far. GGs.

Dont count ret out yet though, imo this isnt as bad as you make it out to be as long as you scout well and play good. If you adapt, you can do it. Just like rotti is saying now!
