That game was as standard as possible for a failed 6 pool. However DRG took a bunch of greedy expansions that Alicia was too late in scouting. Attacking the spines with his collosus push instead of the 4th really hurt him. Also, don't forget that the Protoss player went pylon > forge > pylon > cannon > cannon > pylon > gateway. That's not exactly quick tech or standard play. | ||

He's really really good. yes but Alicia did pretty much the optimal 6 pool defense considering toss pretty much have to FFE every game... and the 6 pool gives you a low drone count and late 2nd, into 2 base investor, mutas that did not much and still the result looked inevitable It's not like that was game 1 with the multitasking ect.. could have been pretty much any pro zerg playing that game could just be the TDA factor making that game look so one-sided tho | ||

If you let Toss FFE, your third is always going to be in an awkward location, and that can be exploited by a variety of Toss timings, most predominantly being the +2 blink stalker timing off of the FFE. So you either have to deal with that, or go 2 base vs 2 base Toss, which also kind of sucks. Therefore, you 6p to reset the game and allow yourself to expand faster. The problem with Alicia's play is he never scouted the double expand, and his third was too slow. He should have killed those rocks with his army before he pushed out. But he did everything else before that perfectly. If he had scouted the 4th (his hallu phoenix died JUST before reaching it) he could have easily killed it, and it would have been 3 base vs 3 base. Another thing I would like to see in PvZ is faster templar tech against Infestors. So many Protosses wait so long, or go for robo --> colossus instead... which gives Z so much time to respond. Templars force roaches since storm/feedback destroys Ling/Infestor, then you can go robo after forcing roaches. Calm down with the imbalance whine if you don't even understand what you're watching. So true. People are far from responding perfectly. Strange if you see how long they are playing SCII. | ||

That's not exactly quick tech or standard play. Wouldn't say it failed exactly. Most P's on ladder even know how to defend this, as most Z's know that all they'll get is the pylon and forge. And that's usually the intent, to reset the game back to one base v two. You'll only really kill a P if the open nexus first. | ||

Kind of weird, right? | ||
