As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

Better lose the whole mineral line than making 2-3 Spines, eh?


If you make 2-3 spines you still lose the whole mineral line, but at least some of the hellions die.

Having roaches is pretty valuable against mech. not only do they kill hellions, but they also punish a terran who throws hellions away.

Vortix is used to being able to just made that broodlord corruptor infestor imbalanced deathball pushing and winning. when the game drags out we see how truly awful he is. 0 spines and 0 defense against hellions despite being able to see them coming from MVP's side of the map. 2k gas bank in late game..... just trash

VortiX is a strong mechanical player, but his decision making and micro really need some work. Like not having Spines to defend against BFH, or Infestors to lock the Vikings cost him the game.

Vortix's style makes him really weak to things like hellion runbys. He gets a huge infestor/bl army on fewer bases and in less time than everyone else because he doesn't make other units. This seems like it is really a delicate art (although it is also amazing). People seem to not realize this.

He had about 50 supply in Vikings and Vortix didn't capitalise on that at all.

I just don't get that at all.

once all those drones fell, he couldn't afford to switch. He had to switch as soon as that first BL attack failed.

How the hell did mvp hold that 4th? did vortix forgot to reinforce or something? there was 2-4 vikings vs corruptors and like 10 broods

Thors with splash damage + tanks to kill the broodlings from the brood lords. He also landed some sweet hunter seeker missiles.

Yeah, killing 85+ drones is always a big deal.

Works out well when you kill 60+ workers

especially when zerg goes on building up a tremendous corruptor/broodlord counter up to 5 each.

I feel like MVP didn't deserve this win...
As Artosis said, a switch into Roaches which he could've easily afforded along with Infestors would've been a GG for MVP


Didn't deserve it? Because he killed over 80 drones and made it so Vortix couldn't switch to roaches/ultras?
