Why did he try attacking that center base? Arguably that started the cascade when he needed more shit to hold his mining bases. Arguably. I don't know how you deal with all those infestors. Speed prism magic carpetting templar to feedback en masse? On October 27 2012 19:02 sitromit wrote: It's so funny, it's the same nonsense every time. Zerg has only 1 composition that can win against Protoss deathball, Zerg builds the composition. It's the most immobile army in the game, so Zerg has to basically give up defending his expos against persistent WP harass, and just build a deathball and push. Same thing Curious had to do against MC on this map, same thing Leenock had to do. But everyone says, OMG Protoss outplayed so hard still lost. LOL. Because it's so difficult to warp in units from a couple of warp prisms against the most immobile army in the game. The difference is that when toss builds up it has a lot more vulnerabilities and failscade situations. These zerg builds are resilient. | ||

No Fungal on the interceptors and then remax on corruptors. The solution is to magically get a 3-3-3 all void carrier army while choking the zerg econ so they cant remax on only corruptors while also having storm and a mothership because you cant win without storm AND a 3-3-3 max air army. | ||

If you think things like number of workers, bases, etc. are the final say in who wins a game you need to think about the game in a more fluid way. This is like in chess when a player sacrifices all of his pieces except the two or three that deliver checkmate to achieve his aggressive goal. Much like in Hero vs. Leenock recently - if you don't understand how the Zerg is winning (long game army quality attrition war) then maybe you should think about the game in a more complex manner. I for one REALLY enjoyed that game. I felt like Rain played incredibly well but it just goes to show that his main aim (winning in a long game) and his methods (harassment, not army quality) may be a lost case. I wonder when Protoss will start doing what top zergs are (turtling, making sacrifices and crafting a perfect army that one shots anything)... maybe in HOTS with Tempest? GG Protoss turtling along with Zerg? That's suicide. Only way to win is with a well-placed Vortex or if the Zerg fucks up to the millionth power. | ||

No. Rain invested everything he had into harass and small meddlings to keep DRG down so DRG knew that Rain had no money for such an expensive transition. If Rain had played passively, DRG would have (likely) been ready for carriers. | ||

DRG lost hive, spawning pool, greate spire, roach warren, infestation pit evo chamber two hatcheries and 6 infestors to 10zealot 2dt haras, before he decided to bring 4 bl to clean it up. So bad | ||

Rains Warp Prism harass when it would have been needed doing asbolutly nothing. Then he does a huge warp in and kills dead bases, means he doesn't do a lot apart from trading unit ressource for building ressources. Losing expensive units like archons and stalkers and templar left and right, trying to pick of a few spines... | ||
