I don't even want to get into balance whine, but yeah..

Although I wanted KHAN to win today, was bummed to see Rain lose that

yes infestors are good if there counter is not on the battlefield anymore (colossi or ht)

but infestors are not the answer to every composition anymore.

also you can micro out of storms (which roro opted not to do) you cant micro vs infestors

Great final game! That ninja neural of the mothership was so unexpected. And then it remained a close game.

But the last infestor nerf doesn't seem to matter. There are still so many IT's in a small space that they kill everything despite lacking upgrades.

I thought it was sad that Roro got a perfect neural parasite on the mothership, fungaled half of Rain's army, and had about as high tier of a Zerg army as you could make, and it got crushed by simple storms and stalkers. That's what's sad to me. And he didn't win with just infestors. It was infestors + 10,000 spine crawlers + toss with ZERO economy.

This is why Rain lost. Those spines were prebuilt so they didn't cost RorO anything (in the sense that they were sunk costs). Never a good idea to lose units to static defenses in low econ scenarios.

Should have expanded and defended.

that's wrong imo. you just need to focus fire with your colossi or ht to stop the chain fungle.

But incredibly easy not to clump them like that.

Rain can just camp the edge of the 4th base with a stalker or three, preventing the mining and making it less effective to use infestor energy vs him.

exactly. infestor is fine now : its a support unit with great harass power.
but against protoss deathball, mass it doesn't do any damage.

I think Roro could've just put a spine behind the mineral line and chilled his corruptors above so they could protect the drones. Not sure if that works though.

Yeah. Not sure why Rain chose to attack there. His third was up much faster. All he needed was obs/cannon at third and some army to defend from infestor run by. Then he just needs 1-2 colo to deny mining on that base from the ridge. I think maybe he thought he was behind economically.

I think he was worried that if he defended, it would give Roro enough time to put up BL's again. Remember, he has no idea how much bank Roro still had. He probably felt he had the advantage on the ground in that moment and was trying to utilize it. It would take a while for Rain's expo to come back online and even longer to push out a new mothership. As you saw, Roro still had a ton of infestors, so it wouldn't be too difficult for him to scrape together 5-6 Broodlords and go back on the attack. It's easy for us to see because we have god vision, but for him as the player, it's a much tougher call.

Absolutely, back off and defend your expand. The Zerg is using the gas for Infestors, your need Colossi also Roro didnt have the eco to go back to Broods.
