I wonder if Grubby actually knew that this were the last zerg structures or if it happened by accident?

I think, he knew. He built the 2 hatches right when his hacth on the right died. He then forgot to take the Drones up the ramp and build there. Or maybe hide a hatch somewhere on the map. But overall, yes. Moving spores wouldve been better.

Not sure who to cheer for in SortOf vs Lowely. SortOf is Swedish so I guess I should root for him, but his playstyle is so boring. Lowely is a ton of fun and has impressed me a lot this tournament, so I hope he can take it! He has some good ZvZ too, except in that Stephano game where he choked.

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.

maybe build like 8 hatcheries imo, he couldnt use those drone for anything else useful


Your meant to march spore crawlers with your broodlord army in those situations. They don't lose health off creep and are scoring.

See Curious vs MC GSL this season.


can u still build them with no evo chambers? they were all killed i believe

They dont? I've always assumed that Z just spew creep under the army to prevent them from loosing health?

Well maybe but even multiple hatches die fast when Grubby came with his army. The only way for Ret to win that in my eyes was to have buildings directly below his army because Grubby really had the map covered and his army was in position also to prevent any drones from leaving. And even if Ret builds multiple buildings, Grubby is still mining. Ret has to hunt down Grubby to win that game, and he can't hunt Grubby and at the same time defend his buildings.

spores and spines, rooted or not, count as buildings. I six pool every Z vs Z I play, trust me, they are counted as buildings

Nah, they lose nothing off creep as long as they keep moving.

well the reason i said that was cause grubby's 3rd was empty, and 8 hatcheries does take quite a while to kill

If you watched the mini map grubby was spreading and looking everywhere with zealots and bits of his army to see if ret had anything anywhere. He sniped one of the hatches and once he saw that the only things ret had were the drones and that single hatch in that army, he knew he just had to kill the hatch and drones to win. Ret should have built more hatches and extractors around the army or brought spores/spines with it. Grubby knows how to base race properly and thrives under pressure/chaos. Ret doesn't.

If blizzard could somehow get lyn, moon, grubby and maybe creopholus there the interest in the WCS finals would increase 100 times.

I still remember the video where he had to climb out of a window to escape a throng of Chinese people only to be met on the outside by another legion. Awesome stuff. :D

Not to mention the police escorts he gets! :D
