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.

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


Ret couldn't spew creep - you only do that when you have a Lair and he had no Lair

Yea, I know that. I was more talking about the general case. Ah well, I got my answer. Apparently they dont loose health while moving. That's just BS :p

He had all the time in the world to build a hatch and then build crawlers to walk with his army, no way grubby's army could do anything about it.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

It would have been incredibly simple for him to have had a few spores mixed into his army...was an ENORMOUS blunder by Ret.


Well sure that would be the best solution, but as people pointed out, he had no evo chambers left for a while. Thinking 100% crystal clear isn't really easy in that situation either. Don't spores lose health offcreep anyway, which again brings the problem of Ret having to hunt down Grubby's bases with his army?

They have regen when unrooted which counteracts the health loss. You can have them live indefinitely unrooted even without creep.


Well that is interesting, I didn't even know that. I suppose in that case having multiple spores hiding under there would have forced Grubby to engage the army, or at least try some sort of suicide strike to snipe the spores.

Sad that Ret went out the way he did, but I didn't even think of the implications of having Grubby at WCS China... Blizzard will have to upgrade their venue by a few factors if he makes it in, I think

- And of course, guards armed with shovels, to clear paths for Grubby through all the chinese panties that is going to be thrown

Grubby is already qualified for the world finals, because Stephano is in the top 8 and 8th place becomes enough to qualify. Just look at the NA finals, where Scarlett and Vibe where in the top 7 and Huk qualified with a 9th place finish.

do you know if lets say an overlord is pooping creep. but then lair/hive get killed.
does the overlord continue pooping creep or does it just stop?

grubby in wcs world finals china would actually make the event that much more hype. guy is a god over there o_o

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

You mean this one?

Okay, I overexaggerated a bit. Haha. Guess my imagination wanted a throng or legion to be there. :D

But yeah, that was so awesome!
