If Zerg is teching to infestors, the Protoss should be able to push in much earlier.

Cure has been rolling for weeks.

Why dont zerg players just go muta vs sentry immortal? It seems so obvious to me. They always fail with mass roach because they just build units that are bad against it...

I would say because you don't get many mutas by the time the push gets to your 3rd and protoss can easily warp in a bunch of stalkers.

Try to engage from multiple sides causing him to burn more forcefields. Rain was smart in that he brought plenty of sentry's with him knowing map. It's really really hard to defend even if you get everything to go your way regardless. It's a tough situation. The zerg needs enough units to be worth using forcefields (you can't just ran 20 lings into the army, the toss will just a-move over it), then beyond this, sometimes the protoss knows you're trying to bait and don't fall for it.
If you want to have a decent amount of units at their end of the map when they move out, you have to stop at like 50 drones. So if you want to wait till 60ish drones, you don't have a good size army till he's on your side of the map, and you have slow roaches that are easy to segment off and kill.
Baiting forcefields and whatnot is correct, but it's a lot harder to execute it properly

NesTea is good at it, but it's somewhat of a gamble... base races and all.

A plot to make us suffer through Whiplash and SNM probably. UGH.

Muta tech is too late, this attack is clearly earlier than standard muta timing. It also doesn't make sense for zerg to go early 2-base muta tech if they don't have any info about protoss's tech. And that will be too obvious for protoss.

He lost vs Zerg here and there, but this matchup is very solid for him. My guess is they had Antiga, and didnt want to send any zerg on Ohana. While still solid it is still his worst matchup. Just because it's his worst matchup doesn't mean he's bad at it. Of course they aren't going to send a zerg on Ohana because that's suicide but it wasn't a bad decision imo on Antiga. People are learning to defend in immortal sentry push. Soulkey just didn't.
PvZ is Rain's worst matchup? Don't make me laugh :p
