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

I just don't get that at all.


it's easy to tunnel vision when you are basicly at your first big event, playing a legend like mvp

you're in a winning position and all that goes through your head is "omgomg im gna win, gogo"

Infestors are heavy on gas. Vortix was banking 2k gas.

As Artosis said, a switch into Roaches which he could've easily afforded along with Infestors would've been a GG for MVP

Yea, just cause Vortix built almost no infestors, kept bashing his head into a fortified position, while losing nearly 100 drones means MVP doesnt deserve to win.

The traditional weak point of foreigners.

That is why I do not understand why SuperNova did not play bio. I think bio would destroy Vortix. Shame Taeja is not here, I would love to see him punish brutally what Vortix is doing.

Low econ being what, 600min and 1500gas after morphing blords?


He threw away so much money into morphing useless broodlords. A tech switch would be easy.

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.


No broodlord support in general. Zero infestors in the late game and very few corruptors. He "overproduced" broodlords.

He could have tried a mass tech switch to ultralisk/ zergling as well, considering Mvp had so many vikings, but he didn't do that either.

Mvp totally deserved to win that, as Vortix didn't play out Zerg late game "correctly".

Vortix cuts Infestors to get the fast BL pushes. He has a lot of holes in his game, if the Terrans he played against yesterday exploited them, he wouldn't be here today. I think the Koreans were just not used to this style, because Korean Zergs don't rush to BLs this fast usually.

To you who say "Why no infestors", VortiX get super quick brood lords and uses mutas in the mid-game. You can't do that AND get a ton of infestors. Brood lords cost a TON of gas. It seems the basic idea is to hit terran hard in the mid-game with mutas and then hit with brood lords before terran can switch into vikings. It has worked well for him, but it gets pretty infestor-less.

Hmm, this is the first time I've watched Vortix play.. seems kinda unimpressive, he's usually better than this right? I mean I know he's against MVP, but still, I'm surprised he got this far into the tournament with this level of play, unless he's just playing bad today or something?

Ooh, he had infestors just never remade them once he lost. Didn't really have a bank either due to the constant hellion harass.
