Any LR on Darkforce vsThorzain game3 ??


DF went for early roach pressure vs TZain's hellion double expo.

Killed enough workers to be able to take a fast third safely himself and went through midgame with a decent advantage.

DF won the first big engagement of the game pretty decisively, but Thorzain dropped his fourth at the same time and DF was slow to defend so lost quite a few drones there.

Thorzain on 4 base with great upgrades (3/3 bio +2 air, not sure on mech), vikings and ghosts on the way. DF on 5 bases with good upgrades (3/3 on the way), Hive tech ready, adrenal glands up, and he's now starting some Nydus play.


Max vs Max dance starting out in the middle of the map

Khaldor: "Thorzain is sniping the shit out of those mutalisks"

Multiple Nydus' going up but Thorzain spots both and reacts in time, DF forces an engagement in the centre while Thorzain is distracted, Tzain is well set up and it's a very short engagement before both pull back.

Good ghost usage, great emp on the infestors.

Thorzain about to hit 6 bases, +3 air attacks, +2 mech.

DF only on 5 bases.

Neither can really push through the centre of the map right now, DF researching neural.

Both players are doing an amazing job of shutting down the others harass attempts


This is pretty tense, Thorzain's ghost use is really good but Darkforce is constantly doing a good job of not overcommitting and keeping most of his infestors out of the way so only a few get emp'd at once.

DF finally has a sixth up, Thorzain pressuring the fifth, but DF defends.

TZain going to be getting nukes!

TZain finishes off the fifth and is dropping the fourth.

Darkforce trying to push the issue in the middle of the map but Thorzain is so well set up.

For the first time in a long time it looks like one playeris making their advantage count, Thorzain has taken a lead and great position to deny the forward hatches.


Just passed the half hour mark, Darkforce saving his sixth with good broodlord positioning.

Thorzain has got so much infastructure set up and almost a 4k/4k bank.

DF with 22 infestors o_O

Thorzain trying to push the sixth still but DF holding convincingly to swing back into the supply lead (for a second before TZain's macro catches him back up almost instantly)

Nukes falling like rain, explosions shaking hatcheries and forcing troops back.

Darkforce now forced into a worse engagement due to losing positions to nukes, still able to hold his sixth though and both are still maxed.


Thorzain is pretty much 3/3 on everything.

A couple more starports going down, Doa wondering if we could possibly see some Seeker Missiles but no sign yet.

Darkforce with some good ling runby action now, taking his seventh at the 6'o'clock expo.

DF gets a nydus up finally near TZain's nat, but Tzain works out exactly where it is and denies the lings from getting into his main straight away.

Thorzain scouts the seventh when he tries to land his own CC there.

TZain takes out both the fifth and the seventh base of Darkforce

Darkforce holding on but he's being steadily whittled down, retaking his fifth and taking a new seventh at 12.

TZain resuming nuke production, the resource count tells the tale. TZain back to a 4k/4k bank and DF under 1k on both.


HUuuuuuuuuge engagement finally, and as expected Thorzain comes out on top (I should note that he sacced so many SCV's that he's been running off about 20 + mules for ages now so his army size has been huge).

DF does land a few fungals but vikings + snipe rules the day.

DF does still have a ton of infestors but they've either been emp'd or blown their energy on spells.

TZain barrels though and is taking out expansions, units, and everything in between.

The difference is over 100 supply now with TZain remaxing incredibly fast and DF being resource starved.

More bases go down, and DF taps out.

Thorzain wins 2-1

He pretty much never let an Infestor through to get a good fungal. Sick play.

3/3 mass Ghosts kinda looking ridiculous in Thorzain vs Darkforce.

But also the map I guess. The middle and thus all your expansions are too easy to hold, every counterattack attempts too easily shut down. On a more dynamic map like Tal'Darim or Daybreak that would be different.

edit: Also games like these with super long stand-offs are just extremely boring and stupid. Maps that are easily split just suck.

I think cracklings are a legitimate counter to mass ghosts. But Idk really as I've never faced it myself.

Can someone explain quickly: this is supposed to be a big event, but DOA and Khaldor sitting in some lonely room casting it. Who are the live casters? And why arent these two allowed to cast directly at the event?
I tink, MC so sterong

Yeah DarkForce is pretty much eliminated. LiveZerg only needs to win his last game, and he's up against a guy who is 0-8 so far.

As far as I know there are no live casters at the event or at least no English live commentary. Thankfully Doa+Khaldor and TB are doing a good job though
