I thought Toss could play 2base vs 3base PvZ. It's funny how you can't attack someone without teching/expanding at the same time (making the attack less forceful), or it's an all-in. It's not like zerg can tech and expand while you're attacking him either. | ||

Muta's can force mistakes out of players that don't have a lot of patience though, so i think the idea was good. There wasn't really anything else he could have done. Either crawl back into the game with Muta's, or play from behind with standard roach/infestor/corruptor. I think DRG has faith in his muta control :p | ||

Mutas pop up that much faster before blink is in play and you can't get your third due to a risk of roach ling shennanigans*. Very strong 2 base pushes make a ton of sense. Ofc so much has changed since I watched a lot << How come we never credit Genius for being a former CJ proish player? Sangho used to get all sorts of hype despite never ever looking quite... well good in Sc2 I wasn't saying it was a bad idea from genius, simply that it was an all-in. People seem to be hearing things I never said. Sometimes all-ins are very good strategies. That said I don't buy the idea that 2 base all-in is the only thing a Protoss can do. Take your own third and macro up. If the zerg is going for mutas, just stay on 3base with stalkers in your base, get blink, max out, throw down lots of cannons to deny base-race then push out. Your army will be much stronger than the zerg's. | ||

I guess you meant pressure, but that is when you build probes behind it and intend to take a 3rd base. Genius didn't do that while he was attacking, so it's an all in. | ||

6 gate to pump the units for the third or put on pressure for the kill. Add Citadel for blink and +2.... Perfect time to eal with a Muta zerg? Roachling counter poke inc. | ||

Genius didn't do that while he was attacking, so it's an all in. It's black or white isn't it? There apparently is no aggression which is neither pressure nor an all-in to you. Then I can see how you classify this as an all-in. | ||
