Not sure if that works though. Did he even have corruptors left though? Probably could work but with blink it would still be more efficient to snipe spinecrawlers in those positions than going in head first into the forest | ||

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 agree with this. Roro had the better econ but Rain overestimated how big that advantage was. Plus, Rain had the base up faster which would help him close the gap quickly. | ||

Yeah, and split BLs before the battle while the vortex was active and while he was killing the mothership with his corruptors.

Well still dangerous since one fungal means certain death for stalkers in that case and Rain can't replace any of his army | ||

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. After the main battle Rain saw that there are many Infestors - which means that Roro spend his gas on them not on broods + Roro was never able to take 5th base with 2 gases = low bank. Its better to try to defend your expand and build Stalker/Collosi combo then to walk down a ramp with 14 Infestors and 20 Spines and your army is 15 Stalkers and 3 Archons | ||

Although they had very few engagements before that point and things were sort of chaotic so maybe Rain wasn't sure? I don't know. I just know that the player doesn't have nearly as much info as we do. Also, rain had zero money, so it would take him quite a while to make colossi. Time in which Roro would be able to secure his expo and start making BLs again. I think he panicked when he saw all those spines rooting and got aggressive and then got owned by fungals. | ||

Infestor being "fine" is subjective and too early to tell. Majority of people still hate them . Blizz nerfed them a few times and they are probably still monitoring the situation. That aside, I find that the infestor is just a boring unit that doesn't create excitement. Who wants to watch the things the infestor do? | ||
