The whole point of the 10 pool build is to make it seem as if you are going for an all-in. You force your opponent to turtle within his base and give up his natural. But since Curious knew Life was not doing an all-in, he chose to pull drones to challenge the lings.

Hum... People pull drones with 10pool on a long-distance map? I've never seen that. Why would they think you're going allin?


...you don't need to pull drones with a 10 pool to make it an all-in. Didn't you watch Game 1?

It's not that bad. It's more like trying to kill all the carrier's crew with a beebee gun.


I honestly don't understand why he goes from a greedy opening into an even greedier muta build against the obvious massive amount of roaches. He should have just placed down at least 6 crawlers when he saw all those roaches.

Let's hope Life gets it together for the ace match.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

Why does life put his pool in front of the hatchery instead of behind the minerals?

Cloud Kingdom is not Daybreak and also... Was this an allin in this specific game? So how did an allin lose against a greedy 15 hatch? Hmph.

Forget to scout with overlord.

Transition into killing massing zergling with drones.

Sounds legit.

Obviously since there was no gas taken, it was not an all-in.
