4th still not saturated. Ret bashing his head into perhaps the perfect anti-roach army. ;_;

Ret is just too good over Cruncher.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

As a protoss player... incredibly frustrating to watch.
Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why.

Just a really poor game by both.

how is it pointless to have 90 drones on 3 bases?

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.

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".

It even out to about 20 minerals/minute for the third drone so they pay for themselves in 2.5 minutes. That's not bad, especially when he knew he would need them for spine crawlers.

I'm not going to theory craft the entire game to see what else could have happened there, but 90 drones worked out fine for him, people exaggerate how bad it is to go over 2/patch.

I know the numbers. Its ok to get 3 workers on far patches.
Zergs have to decide all the time between producing workers and army. There it was between "30% worker" and army. I clearly disagree with the decision there.

I can't believe this 14 drone 1 base baneling bust worked, I use it at the platinum level and its success rate is not great. One bunker stops this rush.

Lowely probably studied Thorzain's play and knew he likes to do that greedy 3CC build on Tal'Darim. Thorzain played foolishly, didn't even scout his opponent's position.
