Leenock is certainly a deserving victor.

Still, looking at the list of names at IPL 5, I never would have expected viOLet to make the Grand Finals.

Both this game and last night's Cloud Kingdom game 7 of GSL finals showed that you really need infestors more than hydras in the prolonged, scrappy situations, though I'd definitely want Hydras mixed in with a booming economy.
In Scarlett vs Life though, the one with more infestors lost to the one with fewer infestors and more hydras.


I didn't see it...was it one big deciding battle?

Additionally, viOLet wasted a ton of fungals on roaches that just burrowed back their HP.


Not sure what he's talking about. Scarlett vs Life was basically a base trade situation in which Scarlett had the advantage but Life played it better, and ultimately Life had an economy and Scarlett didn't. I don't remember any point in the game when Life had more hydras.

As an ex-GM zerg, i can tell that hydras are way more a deciding factor in zvz than infestors.

In the midgame, roach hydra > roach infestor
With proper micro and spread, ofc
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

viOLet keeps throwing away Infestors. It's really hurting him, and the fact that he has to win three games plus another two for a championship isn't going to be easy w/ that control.

He could even steal 40 cakes, and that would be horrible.

Now, Leenock is playing smart.

You have two ways to approach roach hydra infestor engages.

One is like stephano vs DRG: you engage with half of your roaches while fungaling rival roaches and the rest of your roaches join the fray after the rival roaches are fungaled to death

Other is like leenock: you fungal rival's infestors while throwing a lot of IT.

I can't quite comprehend Violet's play in this game. So many things I think he's doing horribly wrong, but it seems to work.

Leenock is such a multitentacled monster
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.
