One of the really cool things I'm noticing zenio doing is that he's re-spreading creep every time he wins an engagement. It's ALWAYS back on the terran's doorstep before he can even think about moving out again.

does anyone get bother by the fact that baneling/ling/muta is kind of too "dice rolling"?

even if the tanks are taken out, marines can efficiently kill off banelings and forces the zerg to get another group of banelings before they can kill off the marine/tank army again.

Zenio's macro is still above par. Even with the early bunker attack Zenio has a drone lead. Lair starts as a banes nest finishes and adds a unnatural third base that is unfortunately immediately scouted by hellions.

10:00
Zenios creep spread is again superb but hellions, marines and medivacs are threatening the third.
10:15
asd is scared by Zenio prematurely detonating 10 banelings and picks up his marines. The third base has time to pop.

12:30
A marine tank push attempts to draw Zenio away from a drop in the natural but Zenio is not fooled. However Zenio still has the main push to deal with.

13:00
With less than 150 health remaining on the third base Zenio attacks! He cleans up and saves the hatchery thanks to his inhumane patience.

15:00
With even worker counts around 68 and equal bases, Zenio is looking to "crush the next push" and take the game.

16:00
As Zenio's creep gets closer and closer to the natural of asd, Zenio goes balls to the wall with a storm of zerglings and mutalisks. Unfortunately, he attacks into a silly good defense of asd and only manages to free up his own supply..

17:45
Big hurt on Zenio as several mutalisks are caught by Gauss Rifles and suddenly Zenio is hurting.

18:45
Zenio, trying to take his 5th at the gold base, is forced to cancel and remakeby marines. But Zenio will have his revenge. He throws a wave aof banelings at the Terran army and what initially looks like a win for him becomes a dangerous loss for Zenio. 7 more tanks move forward and asd takes out the third base in return. However, again back to Zenio he decides not to let that stand and chases off the marines with lings while cleaning up the tanks with mutalisks.

Zenio has extreme creep spread. Almost 3/4ths of the map are covered.

22:30
Several minutes later another attack comes in and banelings connect, turning asd's anti air into goo. asd, with a 30 supply deficit is facing a hive tech zerg with infestors on the way.

24:00
Mutalisks have become a wrecking ball on their own, destroying the natural of asd and attacking the main. But Zenio does waste a lot of mutalisks.

26:00
As artosis puts it, Zenio is in complete control. Even though the supply counts are down to 144-114, Zenio is still in command of the map and soon the macro war. 7 Corruptors are on the way with a greater spire already complete.

another thing to realise with the HT v Ghost battle, is ghosts are a lot faster moving (making it SO much easier to position, re position, and split (not that you need to), AND invisible.

No matter where asd tries to drop, creep betrays where the medivacs are and it is consistently denied.

Yeah. And we would drop this argument in a second if they would offer even 1 example of a full hp terran army losing to a lesser supply protoss army after 1 storm. Meanwhile 1 emp...

And EMP can uncloak the toss's observers, making them easy prey for marines/vikings, which leaves you unable to deal with the ghosts.
