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. | ||

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. | ||
