Great opening from Seed but a really risky follow up that cost him the game. He basically gambled that Sniper would go heavy roach and lost because he didn't. If he goes for a standard collosus follow up that game looks a lot different.

Freaky vs CranK in GSTL, Although I don't know if CranK won. San beat Sen at GSL WC with carriers.. don't recall if Sen got BL/Infestor. Few months back MC got some carriers late game and sniped BL's, don't know if he actually won though..
Haha Sen did not get BL infestor, San made like 2 carriers and Sen overreacted badly with the corruptors and then San just went blinkstalkers and ran over him. Those were the days of roach hydra corruptor still being the standard way to play.
Seed coulda done more with the first attack if he managed to sneak up with the phoenixes, actually hit his force-fields in time, and pre-spread his stalkers to not get raped by fungal

Tasteless probably has not read up to that point.
oh shit, good point. He's still living in the 'nice' part of the story rofl
Dunno where the show's up to, that may or may not be a spoiler if you don't read the books.
Gotta agree there, that's definitely where the books get incredibly dark. Show 100% isn't there yet, only first two books. It's amazing how fucked up the GoT world gets.

That's two seasons away in the show still, at least.
Ah OK. I don't watch the show. I've heard so many people say it's great, but it hasn't captured me like the books have. The spoiler's hopefully vague enough anyway.

People can infer what they want but their opponents are not playing so great - and we're talking about basically the absolute best Zerg's in the world here: Symbol, Sniper, DRG with Life and Leenock on the way too I'm sure. Seems fine to me.
Yeah, kinda like Terrans in the old days.
It's similar but there were some serious jobber (hate to use the word, but some were very mediocre) Terrans that kept making ro8. Play level was really low back then so who knows what race was actually the best. I can tell you for sure that these Zergs are the best in the world though - and I think most anyone would agree.

haven't seen protoss whine because of just infestors midgame. It's the broodlord/infestor combo that nullifies every possible movement that people have been complaining about.
You have not been into LR threads often then
I think its more versus terrans that people don't like infestors midgame?

I also wondered why you would get blink stalkers on 3 base Maybe Seed thought sniper would go muta, because he got the spire very early. Does sniper go muta against stargate ?
Usually you do a 3 base blink stalker colossus push, but this time Seed did it with stargate units instead, but with infestors vs pure blink stalkers+ stargate units that just doesn't work.
