These mis-rallies are slowly but surely killing Ret.


His army and rally management are really his biggest weakness. I always seem to forget about this, until i watch him semi deep in a tournament somewhere. I don't know any other top tier foreigner who manages to donate as much units as Ret, let alone make a game out of it after he does.

If he could fix that, I think he'd do much much better.

This game is bad showcase, since Ret lost 5k resources to just Phoenixes, he didn't know how to handle them, and that snowballed into greater army for YongHwa. The game is much much more interesting than WoL ZvP, it isn't just stupid 2-3 base all-in from Protoss and Infestors and Spines camping into Brood Lords from Zerg.

So what do you suggest when toss opens with phoenixes lol? It's not like zerg have much to choose.


Can't say I've seen many zergs deal with phoenix harass worse than that.

dont understand why zergs attack when the void rays are charged. just go in, force the charge, back off and attack in 20s again. the void rays will be so much weaker.

Impressive play by Yonghwa. I wonder how much stuff those phoenix killed but that was a lot.

It's not that simple when you have 3 bases. Overlords are not the only thing coming from hathes.


Just select the larva when you make your ol's and rally to a spore o-o

unless they changed the way you can select eggs in hots


When you make several ovies, at 3 hatches, it's quite possible that all of them will be spawning on different hatches, so won't help.

Forcefield, time warp make it hard. Also toss will still do damage as you run away and when voidrays attack they get a range increase when running away by like an extra range or whatever.

There is a reason zergs aren't.

You can select a single hatchery to make them from.

Hydra - hydra/swarmhost/corruptor so much stronger.


Well swarmhost won't really help against that much voids i would think, no to mention few colossus nullifies locust.

You'll be surprised. I have beaten maxed (yes maxed) colossi/templar/voidray compositions and swarmhosts played a huge role in it.

Force the charge?? It's not like it uses energy... Maybe you meant back off before charge?

Anti-timing push by Ret, not much else to it.

I don't think a roach/hydra timing at the 4th could've worked, YongHwa has then reached critical mass and Ret needs higher tech units.
