the solution to mainbase FF'ed is simple as zerg

have your base creeped up by the time warp prism arrives (Easy to do. all zergs should get a extra queen against toss. they are 150 minerals, do not consume larva, and in battle they dont deal bad DPS they beat a 100 mineral zealot easily)

have 3 roaches above and below your ramp at all times. warp prism comes and starts dropping units, your main or natural to FF you kill sentrys with roaches. toss has to keep sentrys in the prism and warp in extra units. the roaches on creep will easily kill the sentrys before new units can warp in. also there is a queen up top or down below so queen+ 3 roaches to take out the units quickly

yes, i am suggesting that zergs must have a weaker army (weaker by 6 roaches, and 1 extra queen i guess since the queen can only defend) in order to garuntee this FF tactic deals no damage. its sort of the way most smart tosses should keep a few units in their base to defend against double medivac drops from terran. 1 round of warp ins cannot beat 16 marines, but a few units + a warp in round can beat 16 marines.

toss are forced to normally keep behind defense like cannons and a FF'ing sentry to protect against ling runbys. its pretty fair in my opinion.

idra left too early. He could have killed the nat with roaches... MC was still on only 2 bases, and he could have contained MC's army in his main with spines, and make and sac a couple of corruptors against the warpprism... gg, he wins
