Yep, pretty cool strategy imo.


Except that SuperNova didn't even feel the need to pull back 4 medivacs full of units when Life All-inned


Yeah, but everything actually looked good up until that point. Defending 3 bases from drop/pushes using Roach Hydra Infestor while doing small harassment, then teching to Broodlord and destroying the Tank/bio before they can react.

Looks like a viable strategy, at least.


Letting your third die to drops because you don't have enough of anything to take out the army at your front door isn't really "dealing with drops". Strat is anything but viable, just a gimicky stupid thing used to throw off SuperNova. Didn't work very well.

Forcing the tanks to unsiege and comming in with mass roach/infestor in theory would work incredibly well but it was very poorly executed. Roaches vs marines without tanks and even upgrades are actually quite good. If you tossed in fungals ontop of them that would be an extremely cost effective fight for the zerg.

Also don't forget that upgraded hydras outrange MM

Same range as marauders.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

The switch into lots of broodlords only worked because supernova was completely unprepared, and those broods were the only thing life had going for him. If supernova had scouted / expected the hive/spire, he could have pulled back and gotten vikings, and then game over.


Yeah, but that's the point. You don't expect someone to go from Roach/Hydra into Infestor into drops into Broodlord. It's good at catching someone off guard, while having a gameplan so you aren't just going with the flow.

Erm... Is it just me or is Moletrap / Khaldor AS A DUO not that great..?

They seem to argue about things, a lot.


I feel moletrap tends to try to overpower his co-caster. Not deliberately, just subconsciously I guess. Kinda like how Husky never allowed HD to speak back when they were co-casting.

You should have seen when moletrap and Doa co-casted. Doa is kinda more of the give-way type so there wasn't so much friction while Khaldor is kinda more of the "no you didn't" type so there's more overt tension.

Already seen several examples where moletrap just doesn't listen to his co-caster or repeats or ignores or talks over his co-casters. We don't see that too much with other dual casters. Even when Artosis interrupts some spiel by tasteless or vice-versa, they at least acknowledge they're interrupting because of some sudden game development.

I think Moletrap is pretty good as a single caster, but he needs someone like DoA or some other passive caster to play to his strengths. I like how he tries to research before casts as well, but sometimes his facts are wrong.


I'm not sure about how these guys are outside of this, but they definitely step on each other's toes a lot and do not gel well at all. They really aren't entertaining at all which is what makes sc2 fun to watch. The casters bring a lot to watching live matches. They hardly ever make jokes either, and when tehy do they are matter of fact or just not funny at all. Can't ask tastosis to cast every game, but anytime they aren't casting it's a huge bummer... nobody comes close

Wolf (solo or in combo) is miles ahead of khaldor/moletrap. I just don't like khaldor or moletrap at all though, no matter with whom they're paired.

.....1 why are hydras aweful vs terran when they rip through gateway armies like paper


Just look to hydras like a stimed marauder :
-Around 80hp, around 10 dmg, good ias.

Can you beat marines/tank/medivacs with JUST stimed marauders ?
-No.
So even if you add roaches, hydras are still bad against terran in frontal engagements. (but i feel like it wasnt life's plan)

i think life would've won if he saved his units in the nydus and have it back up his brood lord army taking out the main of the terrans. All of terrans production would be fukt and his only army left was marines and marauders and they would not be able to beat the broodlords/roaches and hydras combo. Honestly, i like life's creativity and i encourage him to keep thinking up plays like this.

Wolf and Khaldor is great, Wolf and Moletrap isnt too bad. Khaldor alone is actually quite ok also. But Khaldor and Moletrap is abit of a clash IMO.

I agree he lost about 10 hydras 10 + roaches and some infestors in the nydus He actually had that game if he just would have made that Forward Nydus in time to re-inforce.
