The game was one of the best I've ever seen, but I have to admit that I did not want the ending to end, because of blizzard being not too good at fixing "bugs".

I REALLY hope that the replay will be released though, will be favourited x 15 <3<3<3

That was a weird game, kiwi often had the better economy(because he kept sniping hatches) and stephano had the better army(for most of the game, until the toilet)

Stephano had the mothership NP'd but didn't know the hotkey for Vortex.
Nonetheless, amazing play by Kiwikaki

To kind of quote Idra on the players panel yesterday.

He doesn't understand why lesser players always go on about endurance/stamina when pro players play lots of games in a row in tournaments. Sure the tournament makes it a bit more stressful but a lot of pros play 40-60 games every single day, it really doesn't affect them that much.

I hate to read my own race complain about everything now. Right now, the maps, archon toilet. Protoss needs archon toilet to deal with that effectively at all in situations like that. Don't complain imba just because protoss players may. Be better than that.


To be honest, I'm zerg, and until the 30 odd minute mark of that game I was thinking that Zerg as a race was just pulling apart Protoss.

I wish a come back could happen without everyone crying foul.
Play the games!

he can spread broodlord like you guys said spread for fungal same thing, same shit.


Zergs applying double standard. Dudes, spread your shit up and archon toilet has less impact.



But he DID spread his units out...kiwi just threw down another vortex, if he kept a few roaches/broodlords after all that he would have just gotten crushed by kiwis army....


How are you complaining on this. It was split map. That should have been so much more one sided, but broodlord infestor has actually become one of the most cost efficient armies in the game.

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.


Enough archons to get 2-4 shots off on very clumped brood lords. You notice they only took the BLs to half health, but it was enough to finish the job.

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

You mean into the Colossi death ball?

Maybe he was referring to quickly moving one of the slowest units in the game.

The actual trick to that ending would be spreading your brood lords instead of clumping

One thing I REALLY like about Kiwi is that he's doing the exact same thing every time (opening wise).

The chance of Vortex being removed in the next patch like Khaydarin Amulet : 100%

Won't be removed.

But I think they will tweak it a bit.

Why? Archon toilets only work against Brood Lords (and battlecruisers and carriers). Its awesome, super entertaining, requires good position from both sides, and results in amazing games like that.


The difference is you pretty much NEED broods in late game zvp unlike battlecruisers and carriers that are hardly used
