The Zerg took no harrass damage to his economy, Violet played pretty greedy to get his economy up and running. He also spread creep very aggressively giving him map vision over the central area. Once he had enough hatches and workers, he could just build attacking units. After his initial Roach push was denied, Violet always made sure to attack Polt's forces in the large open central space. On creep this was ideal conditions for a well-co-ordinated Zerg attack. None of Polt's drops did any damage at all. So Violet just powered his army up to the point where he could win the 2 decisive main battles. Effectively Violet controlled the game. Finally, a decent and levelheaded analysis. I agree with pretty much everything. I'd also say this map probably favours Zerg a bit, mainly because of the huge open area that zerglings love. | ||

He got caught unsieged, traded, but lost all his tanks and then just tried to do that concave he used against DRG like six months ago on Entombed. Did not work. Polt's instinct on BL timing was off the whole series. | ||

It's just insanely hard to do. Beastyqt vs Jonnyrecco in EGMC is what most of my games end up like when trying to incorporate ghosts late-game. | ||

Polt probably has had a lot of practice vs zerg trying to get vikings out in time to match the broodlord corruptor infestor but found it was a worthless battle because infestor is just so damn cost efficient that vikings are basically worthless. Corruptors are the issue, they should not exist in the game and brood lords should come from mutalisks. Without corruptors it'd be split vikings vs infestor and mutas, which can be outranged by thors. It becomes way more strategical. Also, blizzard please make ghosts cost 50/150 or something more gas than minerals because late game terran has too much gas. CORRUPTORS KILLING ESPORTS! Taking out corruptors entirely would probably be way too big a hit though. Zerg would have no more air counter to Colossi. I do like the idea though because corruptors are boring ass units | ||

Ok I get it, you can't make Ghosts unless its 4base+, because skipping 1 marauder to build academy will insta lose the game. Its better to instantly lose 50+ infantry to fungals and have pretty much useless, unsieged tanks attacking broodlings. | ||

EMP radius is so small you can't splash that many infestors and once the ghosts are fungled they can't use any spells. | ||
