What a cheeky 4th by puzzle.

puzzle doing really well to stay in the game he needs to shut down leenock's 4th or take his own 4th to stay in the game though
|
the game ended when the banelings landed. altho some poor choices from puzzle
|
Think Puzzle's mistake here was failing to turn back and reinforce right after the first big battle ended. Lost 2 colossi and a bunch of Stalkers needlessly. Oh, and not catching baneling drops.
|
I gotta admit puzzle's multi-prong attacks are quite nice.. multiple dts.. and warping in zealots a lot pretty nice

But Leenock basically only has roaches, this is pretty huge
|
Hidden 4th for Puzzle would have been so good. Leenock barely has any creep so lacks mobility
|
+3 Upgraded Roaches are actually so high dps.
|
puzzle is handling this roach aggression pretty well.

His stalker immortal army is nothing to scoff at and he's dropping 4 zealots out of a warp prism into Puzzles third, warping in a DT as well.

Ye, if he had pulled back and fortified his 4th he would be MILES ahead

Excellent harassment by Puzzle right here. Wish we saw more of this tbh.

you are overestimating how good roaches are vs stalkers
a critical mass of stalkers DOES NOT LOSE to roaches
especially with 1-2 storms

Oh, and not catching baneling drops. He probably expected Leenock to have more bases than he did. He probably assumed that he'd be overrun if he didn't kill at least a hatchery.

i wish puzzle would make void rays out of his stargate or tech up to a mothership :<
|
Puzzle is coming back in the game with excellent harass with warp prism!
|
Leenock don't throw this away. Gah so confused Fou or toss ><
