Wow, terrible play from Zenio. He just refused to tech switch, and stayed on an inefficient army the entire game. Also, poor infestor control.

Why GG?

He had a huge, huge bank... And... I don't even... No broodlords?


Cant make units with no larva, his queens had a ton of energy so guessing he had none.

Nightend is a really underrated player, really cool and composed in defence, and his positional play is good. Zenio though, wtf? Looking far worse than he can be.

Zenio... that was the single most embarrassing game I've ever seen. If you have map control, and an enormous bank, you GO SAURON ZERG.

1. Build expos
2. Contain enemy with spine crawlers and stationary defenses
3. Continue to stream units at enemy so that he loses supply steadily while you freely replenish

What a horrible, horrible, horrible game from Zenio. JulyZerg needs to teach this kid a lesson on what to do with such an advantage. Completely threw away a won game.

I thought everyone knew that broodlords were bad on Tal Darim because of the size of the map, I mean I don't think ultras are the answer but going brood lords on TD leads to some of the most frustrating losses possible for a zerg.

Tal'Darim late game is so difficult for zerg, you want to go broodlords, but you know you'll get torn apart, so you're forced into dumb units like ultralisks. NightEnD did well to just never attack, because he knew Zenio had no hive tech options on the first set map... T_T

what the hell was that zenio? Are you trying a settle a bet with your manager than you can beat foreigners without broodlords?
You must construct additional pylons.

Does anyone know why Stephano did not try to qualify for IEM Season VI? He did not participate in any of these qualifiers (NY, Cologne, Guangzhou, Kiev and Sao Paulo).


He failed to progress enough in the Sao paulo qualifiers.
And for Kiev he was in Stage1 but did not show up - because day before he was still at Battle in Berlin so probably stuck in travelling at that time.

As a recent tweet from Ret and some hints from FXOBoss suggest, in 2012 there will be some serious challenge for the gamers (& their managers) to make a proper and working plan on which tournaments they will play due to overlaps. These being caused by some certain big ones not announcing their plans early on.

What do you mean embarassing? Grubby was out before that series anyway.


Sorry, poor choice of words. I meant both games were a beatdown. Just so you know. I know games were not important.

classic ultra to losing game transition

yeah cuz it's the ultras that made him lose that game rofl.

Kinda was. That being said I don't like ultras vs protoss, vs terran if you know how to use them they can be pretty good.

Zenio had that game won when he went mutas. Then he went ultra. Never go ultra.

can't imagine BL are that bad, because there is cliffs behind every base but natural expand, seriously, every other base.

you can just fly behind them and abuse range, no? i'm not saying he should have maxed out on BL but like 4-5 "hitsquad"

this just feels like an imaginary backhanded bitch slap to the face
