The point was Afrotoss had huge bank and warped in as many stalkers as he wished, so eventually all BLs were dead. So... we might want to whine a bit about the instant warp in mechanic. BL die to 3 full storms... A lot of the BLs took 2 full storms and then the stalkers killed them off. | ||

All these bad Zerg players, just letting Toss take base after base! Why are they so damn bad? Why don't they just warp in a round of Zealots to kill bases like Protoss does? | ||

The health bar thing is really aggravating. I personally like 'always on' for health bars, I understand how that can clutter the screen, but if you're going to turn them off you need a great observer (which they don't have). | ||

He was too far behind in economy to reinforce and Paralyze killed him for it. Not a full pull back obviously just back behind the watch tower to utilize the terrain since Paralyze didn't blink in right away | ||

(+ protoss can produce units instantly in a burst without delay, so there's no time to retreat or anything) His dozen or so stalkers he warped in would still die rather easily to the brood lords if they weren't all orange from eating a couple storms apiece. The storms softened them up fairly significantly: a BL has 225 health, which is a little less than 3 full storms. | ||

And accusing Action of not dodging storms, as if BLs can really "dodge" anything.Don't be ridiculous. Stalkers couldn't have killed that many broodlords without the storm, nor would the result of that battle had changed if Action also had a bank. The warp in mechanic determined the outcome of the battle. It only determined the outcome of the game because Action did not have a comparable bank. | ||

And if you want to talk about unit production, Zerg has the best remax ability as well. | ||

And his "spread" wasn't the best, two storms side by side covered most of the BL's. Not to say they weren't great storms just Action making mistakes during that engagement and not pulling back I disagree, but it is hard to determine for sure due to the slight ambiguity of the area covered by storm and the lack of healthbars. I know for certain, though, that it took closer to four storms to hit the Broodlords and I think that any wider of a spread probably would have left broodlords without cover from the support on the ground and too susceptible to stalkers. I'm not sure at what point Action could have pulled back without taking heavy losses. He had been winning the battle, but the state of the economies definitely meant that Action would be unwise to not at least try to press his advantage. | ||

Why are they so damn bad? Why don't they just warp in a round of Zealots to kill bases like Protoss does? Because, you know, zerglings are never used in the blord/infestor comp and infestors definitely don't have a free unit that can be spawned for 25 energy and can wreck a base super quickly once you spawn like ~20 of them. | ||
