I wonder, how should KiWi have played it?
Not balance whining or something, just wondering what he did wrong, I was thinking the colossi came too late, but is that true?
I think storm is the better option nowadays. The maps arent choke pointy enough to have collossus be really good. Surrounds destroy collossus based armies whereas storm can zone units preventing a surround (they must take damage to get surround).

Stephano and Kiwikaki against each other always produce some of the best SC2 games :D

You know what roaches do to storm? They eat it and laugh! omnomnom awawhahhah
It would be good vs the corruptors only, but they already did their job taking out the colossi :d

Hydras are worthless and should be removed from the game, right? As a toss player I am shit scared of hydras. Never understood why zergs complain about them, they rape gateway units so hard.
Kiwi never had more then 1 colossus up at a time though. Need some more to counter hydras.

I agree that the collosy were too late. Maybe engage in less open spaces. But his play was really really good.

So do marines.

To be fair, at that point in the game it hardly mattered if Stephano made hydras, roaches, or lings.

Also, that hydra burrow play was so awesome.
Yeah, that hydra burrow and unburrow to cut the retreat was plain brilliant

They are useless as long as there is a hard counter against you. There wasn't.

I love the way Stephano continues to add Zerglings and Hydralisks to his unit composition rather than just massing roaches.
It really shows that he understands how the units of Zerg complement each other.
It's small other things too. The burrowing of the Hydralisks to to save them when they were being overwhelmed, the constant use of corruption. It's those small things that really show his Warcraft 3 roots where those sorts of things were so key.
He's making a fan out of me really quickly! :D

he made the hydras cuz he had enough corrupters to kill every colossus that would pop after he resetted the colossus count just reactionary play
