Not this crazily, and not usually offensively, but still. And if Stork had started warp prism harass like... before he lost his army he could have abused Zero's immobility to death, right? Right?
Fair enough. I'd love to see what Ace's PvZ drop play would've done against this.

Because he spent 9000 minerals on spinecrawlers and then four of his bases mined out, and then DTs killed two of his remaining three mining bases.
And he was already maxed. Supply-free units are the way to go in most end game situations (building cannons, crawlers, etc).

If you saw Ace's games from up & down last night vs bbongbbong you might reconsider this post. He made brood turtle look silly and ridiculous.

Its very very good and the only person I've ever seen try to counter it properly is HerO a lot of storm drops so that eventually the zerg does get starved out and they can't just make spinecrawlers. The other thing is its so so so strong O.O So scary. I've seen mass spines used for defense or splitting the map in half. But I haven't seen some one late game push with a mass of spines before O.o it's very possible It's happened often and I've missed it, haven't been able to catch a lot of games recent;y but def a first for me to see!
Doesn't happen often at all.

He was maxed pretty much all game . The only thing he could have done is morf overlords .

in some of the interviews, the players have mentioned how much he has helped them improve in this short amount of time iirc. probably well worth the money, but i hope that more coach stealing doesnt occur in the near future.
(talking about Coach Ryu btw)

If spines slow push ends up being standard, we have an excitement/spectating balance issue to resolve.

I dont mind atm, they need to catch up in meta games and strategy and compostion. ect stuff that comes with following the scene and experience

It won't, by any means. Drop play completely obliterates the possibility of it being effective.

I wouldn't bother worrying about this until it actually works in the GSL.

Which also makes me wonder what theWind's doing right now, with OGS disbanded and all.

Well, we can only hope that fewer spines at the front and more at the bases doesn't become the next step. I mean, I would be sad if spinecrawlers began winning games for Zerg
But until I see it work in the GSL and Code A/S Im not worried at all
