while game2 was very good by DRG, this game was pretty bad. His switch into infestors very late, his decision to go for the mass muta/ling/bling attack more than questionable because there was no sign for a vulnerability to that. And after that failed, he was pretty much behind. He took his 4th and 5th very late against a bomber in complete turtle mode. Well, this game showed why DRG is called slumping from time to time. Was totally off.

Yea it was pretty shocking how late his transition into infestors took after the midgame ling/bane/muta attack.

So much of that was amazing.

Bomber's amazing control and multitasking
The equally, if not more, impressive DRG defense of constant drops and still being in position vs the main army
The late game decision making by Bomber
The total amount of heart and soul both people put in.
Potential for an even more epic late game with nukes and BC's and ravens.
Bomber's amazing defense vs the midgame timings

by the way, the fact that those ravens didn't get off huge hits and instead was actually a battle to try to get the most vs DRG's spreads were so amazing to me.

Immediately after the GG DRG's supply would've dropped by about 60. Why bother waiting for that? It's like when Mvp did that to Nestea on the same map.

DRG was only ahead in supply at time of the gg, but if you watched the game as it continued on, his supply decreased fast and they both were even on supply before the obs left the game. However, DRG had no army left and was going to lose, so the gg was fine.

DRG supply advantage was meaningless. Bomber had no scv left so all his supply was army. DRG was about to lose all broods and cant rebuild all these gas-heavy units.

Was anyone else a bit confused when the mules dropped?

I looked at the supply and DRG was ahead like 30 supply. Then he ggs

Personally i think DRG should have gone ultralisk.

With no bank how?

Not saying that DRG was going to win, but he wasn't dead dead.

Also time for Sniper to kill my hopes and dreams.

If you curse him with all your might, maybe polt can win

That was insanely fun to watch. For the people harping on supply, DRG's bank was low whereas bomber's economy was strong, so it doesn't matter if you remax on lings etc., or what your supply is if all your broodlords and corruptors are going to die and your infestors died from that seeker missile. The rest of the zerg army is pretty much trash.

Well Bomber was definately well ahead economically/army composition with Infestors dead, but still GG'ing in that moment in such a huge tournament when it means you're out... dunno, just seems difficult to understand

... he had 110 supply vs 150 and about 50 of that 110 supply was vikings that where 1/2 life. Bad GG imo

Bomber sacked a lot of scvs and with his income he could quickly reinforce with a lot of marines while drg could hardly remake his gas army that quickly. It may have been a bit early for an elimination game but it wasn't bad.
