Well that was bad on both sides. I get the feeling Ret was just playing around.

I can't believe Cruncher is going to lose this game.

He lost 40 stalkers against the mutas in his main while his 1 archon jittered around behind them.....

When you have that many phoenixes, you should never mess up enough to let your opponent switch back into muta. Phoenixes are meant to deter that.

Pointless was a bad word for that situation, but it's definitely way too much. It's okay to have above saturation when you are preparing to take another base, but Ret was on 90+ without expanding for a few minutes.

optimal saturation is 22 per base (2 per mineral, 3 per gas)
most pros these days don't go over that, especially zerg
just get a 4th quicker and than instantly poop out 20 additional drones

3 per mineral is fine though, if he took a fourth it would be pretty hard to hold at that time, he had no ground army. With 90 drones you have enough for spines and you have the maximum three base economy, it worked out perfectly for him.

It worked perfectly because he was playing Cruncher.

So if you have no army (and cant defend your first 3 bases), you produce even more drones who mine less efficiently? Just produce an army, take 4th, then produce the additional drones. Thats pretty easy with zerg mechanics.

On near patches, the efficiency of a 3rd drone is ~30%. On pro level that is not "fine".

Pretty ugly game. Just mass roaches and headbutt into the natural with almost no multitasking, no creep spread, no expanding, just keep mashing that R button and attack.

Jesus, every time Cruncher gets himself a huge advantage he just throws it away with terrible decision making. That hold was so brilliant! All he had to do was macro up and keep defending.
