I want Grubby to win so bad (700k twitter followers in China, WC3 history), but I also want Nerchio to win..... I'm so conflicted. At least if Grubby wins Stephy still makes it.


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!

Screw it having someone chase you down the streets is a massive victory lol.

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.


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


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?


Carries on pooping as far as i know.

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.

Someone should test this, but I wonder what would happen if this was the case and Protoss vortexed all the spores... Would they be considered to be removed from the game during the duration of the vortex?

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


The mental image of guards being ready with shovels is a quite amusing one.

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.


No 8th is not enough, 7 is enough

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


Your correct.

But it's something that you need to thinking about in advance when your using a highly immobile composition like broordlords and start to get pulled out of position.

Well if that's the case vortex everything else + blink in to kill the spores = GG i guess.
