I honestly think Squirtle was trying to game the wine-in-front-of-me situation. He knew that Leenock knows that the Wonwonwon is the best option for the map and was probably hoping for Leenock to misread and commit to a Suppy-style spine defense while he safely took the 3rd. | ||

And no, I am not doubting Leenock's ability. It was marvelous. Just impossible to hold on such a map. This should also dispel those zerg arguments of "if infestors are taken out something else has to be put in or zerg will suck Q.Q" because clearly, they don't. You saw how your hero Leenock used mutalisks to bounce between bases and back them up with lings/roaches. The only reason anyone else claims the rest of the zerg army sucks is because infestor-bl gives such easy wins, anything else seems like a titanic effort in comparison. Nobody's arguing that infestor-broodlord is required for midgame timing attacks. It's required for lategame deathball wars. Good luck taking down a 200/200 Protoss army with mutalisks and roach drops. | ||

The final is going to be interesting, FXO was the team that prevented MVP from getting to the final last year, and Leenock was the player that completely activated DRG's slump, time to see if the boys in blue can get revenge and also grab another title. | ||

"A Zerg attack like that is super easy, and the defense by the Protoss super hard. Period." No shit I'm not gonna write an actual argument in response, because all hope is clearly lost. No, you're not going to write an argument in response because you can't think of one. Also, from my point of view (shared by many in the comments), your response is the biased one. The objective evaluation is that Abyssal City is an incredibly difficult map for PvZ. Nice try, though. | ||

Overlord drops aren't that great against blink on most maps; Abyssal is the only map in the pool in which the main is easily accessible with overlords and the blink stalker distance from the main to the 3rd is significant. | ||

"lol leenock clearly played 50x better he has to perfect macro injects multitask all over the place snipe sentries/immortals with roaches all squirtle did was spam f click". If you try hard enough you can make anything sound easy or difficult. You haven't provided an argument, merely stated an opinion, in a clearly biased way (apparently literally the only thing Leenock did all game was a-move three control groups?).

Nyduses are good for bronze league cheese and a few weird queen- or hydra-based strategies, overlord drops are excellent for timing pushes and harassment all game long. | ||

Bomber Bomber at the bottom and Lucky up top. Bomber goes for 1rax CC and Lucky a hatch first. Lucky gets an early gas while Bomber is teching up to a factory for reactored hellions, but Lucky puts down the roach warren. 10 roaches from Lucky heading towards Bomber's base along with some slow lings. Bomber is building too many addons and only has one marauder. He reacts slowly and lets the roaches onto his ramp, which block the SCVs trying to get back into the main, and Bomber is slow to repair the depot wall. It falls, and SCVs die. GG. | ||
