I only got to see that because of state of the game.
well mvp didn't really play any high-level zerg who's used to widow mines though at iem iirc? but yeah i suppose mid-fight it's interesting indeed!

If you use them either in or behind your army as safe retreat they are dangerous as hell if you don't pull back instantly.
Looks like Mines don't really work with early mech pushes since these pushes have no anti-air to keep Overlords from activating them before the Zerg moves in
also if you have them in the middle of your sieged up mech army, activating them with overlords will actually splash on the mech army and damage the terran player more than the zerg

Gotta love how engine actually explains stuff like overlord path/position rather then "well there is nothing to talk about, they are starting their economy. Time to talk about random stuff"

Yeah, like behind it in the open, no marines near. Also I was talking about lategame more, with really big bioballs that instantly snipe overlord shenanigans

Engine so knowledgable and passionate, showing it more than some casters and it's not even his native language.
I'm in love with him now <3

I know I'm late as fuck, but just finished watching G1 from Maru vs San, I really think San would have had that game if he went for double robo instead of one. He definitely had the economy to justify it and it would have made holding Maru's counter so easy.

Wow. Supernova basically won that off great marine micro.

i felt that was a bit more lucky being rather sloppy with his control, running his banelings in headfirst, etc

Yeah seemed more like a "fuck it, *hail mary* and lets go". But still, after the sloppy run in, the micro of supernova was great
