Someone who puts down an earlier pool needs to do damage to the later pool player who has a better economy or else they will be behind. It changes how each player needs to approach the game, at least the early game. Thanks! That's very helpful! Also, can someone explain how Larvae works? I'v read various articles and the wiki but I'm still confuzzled D: | ||

Yeah I think that's definitely part of it. On August 20 2012 04:06 figq wrote: This third game was great fun and so back and forth. I guess to non-zergs ZvZ may be boring, but to me it looks sometimes as the most entertaining matchup out of all six. So much action, so unpredictable. There's a lot of questionable decision-making going on in this series. Like game one: Opponent is hardcore failing in an all-in, so counter and throw away all your units instead of creating defense for an auto-win? Just really really weird stuff all around. | ||

He decided to change his strategy mid-game, and that cost him small advantages that added up to a loss. Curious is also trying to hard-counter him by opening early roach warren and threatening pressure before lair tech. | ||

ZvZ has its moments but overall I dont like spectating it that much. It was the same in BW, at least for me, and in BW I even played zerg so TT...maybe its just a personal thing (as oposed to a knowledge or "my own race" thing). | ||

Just when you think you know where the game is going, it can turn upside down in a matter of seconds. I like watching ZvZ sometimes but I enjoy SC2 much more when I can understand what happened but when I watch ZvZ I'm often left with "Uh how did he just do that?" | ||
