On the bright sight, this will probably help blizzard realize that the archo toilet has not been fixed


Rofl, zerg already crying imbalance, got to love it -.-'


I don't think the archon toilet even did that much damage...imo it was effective because the army got split in half for a few seconds and broodlord infestor is all about positioning.


This. Also Kiwi didn't have tht many archons in the one with the broodlords, but the vortex allowed his stalkers to get in range with the broodlords, which is usually hard to do with infestors.

Have you been living under a rock for the last year? lol

Metal has been known to be the best zerg map since forever (save close positions but they have been removed a long time ago). I think every zerg chooses Metal when he loses. Terrible map for zerg, right? That is why they choose it every time.

I'm sorry Kiwikaki that was an amazing game but I still have to root for Stephano here. I want a foreigner to make a deep run and considering the brackets Stephano has a better chance.

But I think they will tweak it a bit.


I thnk its one of the only tools protoss has to deal with that huge broodlord ball because offensive blinks die so fast

Also the archon toilet still works pretty good


Kiwi puts down first vortex, Steph dodges the it with his broodlords, but his main army is stuck in. Kiwi puts down a second vortex, it catches all the broodlords, he micros his 2 archones into the second vortex. Both vortexes expire, and the broodlords take massive splash damage. The collosi cleans up the rest of the army.

I wonder if he planned to vortex the BLs with a second delayed one. I don't think he'd have killed Stephano if the whole army popped at once from 1 vortex, but because the roaches came out a bit earlier he could thin the number with his collossi.

Wether it was planned or not, it was great play based on the position of the army.

To stop the Archon Toilet - right click in the opposite direction of the vortex. Doing this requires a lot of APM, and is a high-level move. /sarcasm :D

That was absolutely his plan, his army did not beat stephanos straight up.

Spreading broodlors is like spreading voidrays. They all tend to clump.

I"ve stayed out of every cheese/noobstrategy argument this topic.

this post takes the cake on idiocy though. A strategy that is an effective all in......or a strategy ending almost hour long (bliz time) using an 8 supply unit on top of collosi/archons/stalkers.


Yes, best two things to compare either.

Ok first of all, 2 archons = archon toilet? Kiwi was a mad scientist genius in that he didn't spam both vortex, he waited so that he could engage half the army at a time. It actually probably would have been better for stephano if his entire army went into one vortex.

I don't like the opener from Kiwikaki on this map. Think it just dies to some roach play.
