I think if he didn't make those 10 drones after the overlord scouted, he would've had enough units. Though I'm not sure if he made them before or after he scouted the gatewways.


he made them after the scout

He only lost because he didn't scout the pylon. If the push was delayed enough for inori to make a new pylon stephano had enough production to defend

even with 2-3 spines he can win, and he already scout 6 additional gates, it mean at least 7 gatess

bad design. Stc finds a hole and is lucky IdrA doesn't know ..

Shit feeling.. sometimes I hate this game


...TheStC's skill level is on par with IdrA's if not better. He's actually a really good player

TheStC showed that he's no where near Idra's level as a mechanical player. He went CC first on Shakuras Plateu and cut every corner possible to macro up and still got clowned by Idra's macro mechanics.

He showed that Idra is still weak to really strong semi-allin aggression builds, as Idra always has been. TheStC was the better strategist today, nowhere near the better (or even skill) player.

lol so what your saying is the player with better mechanics is the better player in a strategy game amirite?
LOL
StC was the better strategist in a strategy game
doesnt that make him the better player? LOL

In starcraft 2, skill is mostly measured in mechanical ability and tactical split-second decisions. Strategy obviously matters, but they're two quite separate things.

cant believe no crawlers on a 7+ gate scout. I never thought i'd see steph lose to a 7+ gate allin. ~_~


If you make spine crawlers you have a much weaker army and the protoss can just lol and go kill your third.

Wonder how the timing would have worked with spines, seems like the push would have hit before they were finished building if stephano had started them right as the overlord scouted, but I'd have to recheck to be sure.

wtf are you people saying "block the ramp" for? what would he have blocked the ramp with? queens? yeah cause stimmed marauders really have a hard time getting past queens. evo chambers? yeah cause stimmed marauders have alot of trouble with evo chambers.


Totally agree, zergs should never block their ramps with queens. Why should they lose their queens, when they can lose all their drones instead?
i already posted this but it can't be stressed enough, idra's queens were all very close to dead. if he tried to block with queens then it would have bought him like 3 seconds at most, he tried to hide them in his main so they could regen up for the next fight but it didn't work

i think a spine on the high ground probably would have helped a lot in that battle but i don't know what else he could have done to fend that off after the major engagement


The choke is the only position he has against the hellions, if blocking it can't help him, then not blocking it would help him even less.
I'll call Nada.

wrong strat for the map. You fast third when the 3rd can be connected by creep or is close enough to reinforce.


When your fast 3rd is that far away, 1/3 of your reinforcements are 10x further away than the proxy pylon is to your front. The reinforcements are just inefficient, and in a close dirty fight those precious seconds count for so much


Even worse is a far third makes you account for the difficulty of holding your bases against air. He even got lucky seeing every gateway (since they were not spread), but it wasn't enough

lol @bronzies suggesting spines.

what do you suggest he should have done then? since apparently you're the smartest starcraft player ever, please enlighten us.

Just less drones.

You don't want to build spines with a far away third.
