You will only see a zerg going for very fast upgrades when he is for example going for pure ling like Stephano does sometimes.

Protoss is the gas-heaviest race in the game -.-' Don't make excuses for skimping on upgrades.

Like a zerg can't afford consistent upgrades off 4 base. Mind you, Ret was extremely late in taking his third and threw away lots of units in bad engagements.

I didn't make an excuse. The guy asked a question. Zergs build fast mutas instead of getting fast armor upgrades for lings. It's pretty standard - there's nothing to argue about.

Fast upgrades are irrelevant. It's about consistency.

I don't know cut at least some Mutas for Upgrades wouldn't hurt i'd say. Not like they are actually good for actual fights later anyway. And tbh alot of times the Zergs don't fully upgrades even if they are on big economys for some reason.

MC lost to Monster... Huk has been playing at a Code S level and Hero has been playing at a Code A level. MC has been playing at a Code B level. His play looks better today, but its really not that impressive. Even his WCG matches weren't anything special.

*8:30 on last time
9:00 - Ryung poking at the middle lane with elevator tactics. 10:00 - Ret cleans up the attack but has lost 3 queens and a lot of lings. Ryung startings +1 attack and stim. Ret starting spire and bane speed. 10:50 - Ret starts +2 attack and a macro hatch. Lots of drones. 11:40 - 5 mutas for Ret, and Ryung takes his third while putting up turrets. 12:10 - Ret takes his fourth. 12:30 - Ryung poking through middle, but has no siege mode.

You seem to ignore the circumstances of the game. He couldn't take a quick, relatively vulnerable third with all those marines and hellions outside his base.

Ret lost because his third was late. He was outmacroed. He even threw away so many mutas.
End of story.

But he could have taken a normal, relatively safe third if he didn't invest in mutas that did diddly-squat. Instead he took a late third at nearly the same time as Ryung, made mutas that did diddly-squat, and transitioned into broodlords at a really bad time.
