Yeah, not getting Adrenal glands must be the zerg anthem of 2011. Let's hope it will be remembered, but will stay in our past.

dont forget the 2 hero tank drivers who sneaked out through all those chaos and sniped the 10% hatchery


No, they sniped a brand new hatchery! The 10% hatchery was the south one.


many people didn't catch this, but they also sniped a couple of infestors

Epic game. However, I question DRG's decision to push into the production instead of taking out MMA's expansions to the south and holding groud with his infestor/broolord composition. A rush of blood to his head I think.

I dont know, he was short on income(even if we ignore those 2 hero tanks) and the army he had wasn't really *that* scary, MMA kinda just fumbled the last battle by clumping his vikings up. I feel MMA would've been able to win easier by getting a bit more units and then cutting DRG off at the 4th. The terrain and slow push into the production was very well executed, had he just kept a 1-2 infestors alive it'd probably have been gg.

The problem for MMA was that he was on defensive mode and retreated all of his units back to his natural/main when he saw DRG's army push up. If DRG had decided to target the bottom expansions he would've had a lot of trouble getting those tanks & bio in place without being killed by the infestors (who had a lot of energy) & lings. Basically MMA chose the battleground and DRG fell into that. Did you see all those lings at the end forced into chokes between MMA's production buildings? That's not really what you want to happen when you're doing the infestor/broodlord push since it's so positional. You want to choose where the engagement will happen and make him come to you. DRG attacking the bottom would've forced MMA to either head out and meet it or counter.

I just think you are assuming that DRG knew how he would be able to crush the vikings. There was really no indication through the game that a FG would be able to hit even more than 1 viking what then like 10*2. So yeah, if he always could've done so much dmg with FGs guaranteed, it'd have been smarter, but he kind of needed to make something happen, since if MMA had microed his vikings aswell as he had been doing through the game, his BLs wouldn't really be that scary which would've decreased his armies power a lot. So yeah, I think it was the best possible move from DRG.

I'm still not convinced. When all of your reinforcements are zerglings, you don't want to attack into a place full of chokes. If he had engaged in a more open terrain, DRG would've taken out MMA's army. Would that have ended the game? Perhaps not, but he would've gained map control to retake his bases and lay siege to MMA's only working expansions.

Only Game 1 I think, like all the other leagues. For Games 2-7 you'll need a ticket.

I still don't get how so many zergs can forget about it. It's the first thing that comes to mind when my hive is done "oh boy, now I can upgrade to cracklings and get 3/3". O_o
