Having 70+ drones on only 2bases is like completely wasting 20 drones doing nothing because they are just running back and forth between minerals. No reason you need that many that early on.

Why does Ret think he can get away with making that many Drones...


Because he's Ret. That's his style. He does get away with it from time to time, and if White Ra hadn't punished him for it, Ret would have basically had a free win.

Uh but this tourney is qualification for MLG National Finals. What's the point in inviting people who most likely are not going to come.

Greedy play by Ret, and well known by White-Ra to attack there, White-Ra gonna take the win hopefully.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

1st in Region = $2,000 per player = $6,000 Total (plus all-expenses paid Providence trip)

I think they will go...

You aren't understanding how he uses those drones. Rather than continuing to make Drones once the third goes up, he simply transfers a large amount from his main and natural and goes straight into combat unit production.

That quick saturation causes his economy to EXPLODE.

he didn't really play to the map. Usually he'd have a 3rd base so his income would be through the roof, and he'd be floating 10 thousand minerals when his tech kicks in and he'll pop out 24 infestors or 73 roaches or something insane.

on this map though, you don't drone straight to 75 until the 3rd base is up.

75 drones on 2 bases was a little bit unnecessary. You are allowed to stop at 60 and then make 30 more drones once the 3rd base finishes.

It's worth noting that on any other map, his 3rd hatch would have been at a 3rd base and he'd have 75 drones mining on 3 bases, but nothing to spend the money on.


Yea that is quite surprising actually. Usually he made a 3rd or 4th hatch next to the rocks anyway ( see Blizz EU invitational). So he goes like 5 hatches in 9 minutes. Wonder why he didn't do it this time.

People will go if there's something decent for them to play for. It's just not worth it anytime after the first couple of rounds of the season for EU players to head over if they aren't in pool play (with this seasons point scheme).

Always annoyed me how people acted like making nothing but tons of drones is somehow amazing and takes skill. Its not hard to sit there and press your drone hotkey over and over especially when you're not even timing it right. He just had 2 severely over saturated bases for several minutes. Theres a difference between macroing hard and properly and just making nothing but drones at the wrong times which are then useless for several minutes and you die anyway.

Yeah i agree but you never know their plans. Maybe the Eastern Europeans are not confident they can get visa. While Nerchio has stated he doesn't want to play away from home no?

Stephano was supposed to go to Korea as well (unless it was just a rumor). haven't heard that he is going to next MLG but that will be AWESOME if he does.

Oversaturating your minerals so you can quickly transfer to your expo later makes sense for Terran and Protoss but not as much for Zerg, since he can just make 20 drones in one round instead after he gets his 3rd up anyway.
