dunno what taeja could have done. really well spread vikings still couldnt do anything to the brood lords because of the queens. infestor control was really good too.

He didn't get ghosts out, nor did he use any HSM

Needed ghosts, just a pair of ghosts with enough emp could have at least emptied the queens of energy. But especially in the first "big" battle if you have unscouted ghosts you can surprise butseks and carpet the whole infestor ball and just win right here.

Really? I have seen tons of this kind of games. Mostly happened in foreign tournaments, especially in lower rank tournament.

exactly, for this to happen in GSL is rare

there were two hugeee engagements that leenock controlled perfectly

Oh of course. By contrast Taeja just threw clumps of marines at it and fungal easily deals with clumps of marines.

Leenock's fungals were fantastic when they needed to be. Taeja's counter to that was not.

Imagine a Zerg unit called Ghostfestor, that can only remove energy from infestors. Would you make them in ZvZ, or would you make infestors?

He found the ancient manuscripts describing forgotten arts of "Zerg Micro", myth became a reality.

Terrans gotta start using ghosts again versus zerg, just that lil investment in tech will completely change the late game dynamic.

That unit composition would pretty much die to 1-2 good EMP's no? ~30-50 supply is in spellcasters (queens/infestors); completely ignoring ghosts against it feels like an overreaction to the snipe nerf.

I don't think mass ghosts is the answer, but 5-10 to land the EMP's would probably be pretty cost-effective.

If every zerg played like Leenock did (as in that style), no T would ever win TvZ anymore I don't think. He's basically unbreakable and even killing his bases doesn't bother him as he has so much energy.

He's a really great player even outside of that style though, Leenock is a beast.

Mech army with a lot of Vikings can beat that zerg army.

Last time I saw EMPs against Zerg it was Gumiho vs Hyun in IPL FC. He dropped the Ghosts and EMPed the sh*t out of the infestors. Was a pretty nice move.

Game 1
Cloud Kingdom

Taeja at 7
Leenock Leenock at 2

2:00 Taeja with a makarax at his third, and another rax at his main which he floats down, Leenock with a hatch first and pool immediately after
2:30 Leenock spots the makarax, Taeja cancels it and builds a cc
4:00 Leenock with a gas and queens
4:20 Taeja with another cc (his third)
5:30 Leenock with speed, hasn't scouted the third cc. Taeja with a factory
6:00 Leenock with a third. Taeja with a reactor on his rax to swap on his factory
7:00 Evo and Baneling nest and Lair for Leenock, as well as nother gas. Taeja with a Starport and techlab on his rax
8:30 Hellions raoming around, lots of lings from Leenock as well as an infestation pit. Spores too.
9:00 Bio upgrades from Taeja, combat shields and stim and +1 attack. Banshees out

10:30 Lots of stuff on both production tabs. Macro hatch, baneling speed, pathogen glands done. Taeja getting siege mode and more upgrades, +2/+2
12:00 Leenock attacks Taeja's third, but only gets a cancel on the building 4th cc.
12:30 Taeja flying around with a drop
13:00 68 scvs vs 68 drones
13:30 Supplies fairly even.
14:00 Taeja almost kills Leenock's 3oclock base, and kills it 30 seconds later
15:00 Taeja attacking the 4th, but beautiful fungals crush the army
16:00 Hive is done, greater spire is morphing, Taeja continuing to attack and drop

16:30 Taeja kills Leenock's 4th, uh oh. Taeja with a 4th of his own, but Leenock harasses it with lings
17:30 Leenock morphing broods, Taeja denies Leenock's 3oclock once again
18:00 Taeja with a HUGE army of marine tank medivac viking, Leenock with 6 BLs, 13ish infestors and a lot of lings
19:00 Taeja getting tons of starports, still moving arounf Leenock's side of the map. Leenock has a fourth but it's always under pressure
20:00 Taeja attacking the fourth, Leenock coming in with his BLs. Taeja stims under the BLs but fungals the marines.
21:00 Taeja's army dies but Leenock doesn't have a bank
21:30 Leenock attacking into Taeja's nat but sooooo many vikings. A Drop kills Leenock's 4th. 25 vikings crushing BLs at the center of the map, but infestors scare them away

22:00 So many upgrades for Taeja. Air armor, Seeker missile, etc
22:30 Once again Taeja on Leenock's fourth. So many vikings bring down most of the BLs, but Leenock holds. Still doesn't have a fourth though. His infestors keeping him alive, but he's down to 5.
24:00 Leenock pushing again, but no energy and no support units allow Taeja to stim and do damage to BLs.
25:30 Leenock sieging Taeja's nat, but BL infestor queen too strong, even though he has 5 bases O_o
26:00 Leenock now sieging Taeja's main, but Taeja pushes him back
27:00 Taeja mining so much more but Leenock now has a fourth, and his BL infestor army looks hard to beat at the moment
28:00 Leenock battering Taeja's fourth but Taeja pushes him back a little, but not for long
29:00 Bye bye to Taeja's fourth. He can't figure out how to kill Leenock's army, so he attack's Leenock's fourth instead.
30:00 20 infestors 5 broods and a ton of queens

30:30 Fourth is gone again for Leenock, fifth under attack
31:00 Taeja has had enough and ggs.

Weird game to be honest

Anyone better at this wanna do the next game?

pls continue, i have to go to work now and your report is good

Only doing it until someone better can take over, this is tiring me out and I'm not feeling well T_T
