I honestly think a push before DRG got mutas out was the best thing Maru could've done. DRG would've just contained Maru with the mutas while getting an even more insane drone and hatch count and there would've been nothing he could've done.

I dunno, you tell me. Apparently you already spread creep there. Mysteries!

The two extra bases were after the push, dunno about the drone count. Either way Maru's semi all in did not shape up well against the build DRG was doing, simple as that.

I doesn't make sense for a terran doing a timing push to be scared of mutas coming to the front to help, quite the contrary, mutas "should" be units mainly used for harass, especially in such an early stage, they are quite weak compared to the many banelings you could make with the gas.

Not sure how it's working at the pro level, but I've found 2 rax harder to execute as Terran and easier to defend as Zerg since the Queen buff. I don't think 2 rax is the answer aside from maybe forcing from extra greedy zergs to grab gas early for slings.

You can't build a hatchery on a creep tumor, and honestly zerg is probably the hardest race to secure an island expansion

Maro got nothing to do.Cant beat Zerg on macro at the moment if he doesns make some HUGE mistake,as DRG did laste game.Thats why Maru tried 2 base MMM all in,but failed.And there is so much creep in only 10 mins...

Lol I know it was in before, but for tournament editions/ladder edition (before it was pulled) I thought they removed creep tumors. And i creep spread with overlords on potential bases, hard to do on metropolis since its not on the ladder..

Shouldn't be able to hold a 2 base push with all the upgrading he did on top of that. I am not complaining though.  . Zerg had a hard time in the past. Now it is time to let some wounds heal.
I do not think that Maru's allin was supposed to kill a zerg going for mutas.

Currently it is hard for Terran to play vs Z on certain maps. I can see banshees + raven contain still working. After 15CC.

Yeah so maybe the allin just doesn't transition at all then? What was maru trying to accomplish?

Pretty impossible to make it work when you're up against 4 queens that you can't kite and a pdd can only do so much.

Oh, my bad. DRG so cocky double expanding against that, hilarious.

I really like the marine-marauder-hellion-medivac push that maru has done every game this series, and which I do a lot myself on ladder, but I don’t like the tank transition as that push is pretty susceptible to mutas. Personally I transition into thors while expanding, which ward off mutas pretty easily with a few turrets, throw down another armory and get double upgrades on mech. 3-3 Thors are amazing late game.

Yeah Artosis, I love the 2 Engineering Bay ZvZ as well.

Bring back Steppes of War. Although I guess with steppes of war you'd have creep in your base at the 5 minute mark.

New ZvZ with mass engineering bays? What?

double engi bay in zvz? what is this strat I haven't heard of
