Still very unsafe imo to try a basetrade...

glad it worked but it wasnt as easy as it could've been for nestea.

What? You always base trade in that situation. It's when you hesitate or turn around that you lose in those situations.

You kind of have to when you go mass mutas like Nestea did


ofc, I mean before the match got underway. He's probably the most frequent muta user in ZvP.

I have a quick question. Are all the streams displaying the same games or do they stream different games?

I think it is a bad idea to attack Nestea early. He is still very strong in the early/mid game. It is his late game that is faltering.

Probably due to his mechanics lagging with his age.

I'm not dissing him. He said so himself in the past.

Silly Killer, engaging mutas with stalkers


Watching mutas makes me wonder if Elfi has it right. 3 Sgate pheonix into pool energy destroying mineral lines.


Nah he doesn't. There's no way to beat mass muta as protoss if zerg plays it correctly. I still consider it the most imbalanced thing in all of SC2.
You'll never have the money to go 3 stargate phoenix and if you do, zerg will remax on lings and counterattack and you will die. Only thing that beats it is a massive archon toilet and immediate counterattack that kills the zerg.
Mass muta expands like crazy. Hatches, spines and mutas.

Don't stone me, this ain't balance whining!

Did he say that? I just thought he had said his mechanics, even when young were never his strong suit. Even with his strategic intelligence he just wasn't fast enough to keep up in BW against other Kespa players

Nice wall by Killer. He's very welcoming to guests.

I know its not, Mutas are one of those things that snowball really really quickly. Especially against protoss since we dont have consistent reliable AA AoE

(thor splash instant damage, storm is over time and they can dodge this is what I mean)
