I don't understand why that is seen as such a bad blunder by Ret. Grubby had the entire map, and he cleared all the corners of the map pretty much so there was no way Ret had any drones there. The only drones Ret had were with his army and he had no creep at all to build any other buildings than try to build a hatch to the closest place where there is room for the hatch which was at the 3rd of Grubby at that moment of time. Maybe you could argue that he should have put down a hatch in Grubby's main below his army when he destroyed Grubby's buildings there to make space, but he had nowhere else to put them really.

90% sure that walking spores and walking spines don't actually count as buildings (you need at least an extractor or a hatchery to remain in the game). Grubby just had units walking everywhere and Ret couldn't build a hatchery right under his army to protect it.

They do count. We had the same exact situation happen between MC and Curious in GSL Code S, Curious won with Spines walking around with his army.
