Lair down about 7:40, roaches moving out on map 8:30 or so (looks like 12-16 raoches)

Third starts at 9:00 for skyhigh while it's just finished for roro, widow mines and tanks in production after seeing roaches while Roro gets burrow speed (?)

Snipes queen at the third but hellions get trapped and JBS loses ~6

Double armory and 3facs down so far

1/1 for both players, Roro slightly ahead on armor, both players relatively even on attack

infestation pit done, baneling nest done

Good runby into the 3rd nets ~10 drone kills, thors in production, 2 more facs coming down

swarm hosts on the way for roro

14:00 2/2 for JBS along with ine burrow, two starports finishing, spire 1/2 done and +2 ground/+1 air/burrow/hive on the way for roro

15:10 spire starts, immediately greater spire, ling attack speed upgrade and +2 range attacks

Corruptors in production, taking bases 5 and 6

Skyhigh looking like he wants to take his fifth, setting up a nice siege line and a hellion runby scouts the fifth (top right) of roro

Broodlords done (17:45) and moving on the attack, no corruptors means vikings get a field day though, very even engage although swarm hosts do a lot of damage and broodlords with corruptors force sky to retreat (18:10)

Roro kills skyhigh's fifth, JBS heading over to roro's 5th base and 3/3 almost done, with Roro just doing +1 air weapons and air armor about to finish.

Ravens in production for JBS as well, but he's constricted to 4 bases due to the swarm hosts

21:10 fungal catches tanks and a thor off guard, forced to run from blords who head towards skyhigh's fourht. Massive number of corruptors but only 6 blords, skyhigh basetrading with tank/mine and keeping viking/raven to deal with the air army

Roro loses his third, sieged in the natural for a small amount of time and tanks catch infestors and queens exposed but fungals lock vikings+ravens before HSM's can get put on the corruptor flock

24:10 roro takes a big volley on the corruptors, skyhigh can't take down any of roro's 5th+ bases as the broodlords float in the middle and roach/sh constantly responds to attacks, down 40 supply and no replacement CC at his fourht, roro with a 6k/2k bank

26:00 JBS has essentially nothing to fight Roro's ground army except a handful of tanks and mines, roaches keep killing scv's that are long-distancing from the fourth. Roaches move in and take down siege tanks at the natural, not enough money to remake tanks and hellions so that he doesn't die. Swarmhosts now taking down skyhigh's third

MASSIVE win in the air war for skyhigh at 28:10, but 13 ultras on the way to finish the game

29:00 roro with roughly 3x the income of skyhigh, ultras on the march with the swarmhosts still alive, PDD needed just to defend the siege tanks from locust attakcs. JBS pulls a campaign and it works about as well (30:00), everything Skyhigh has is dying

GG 4-2 Samsung!

The original plan was really fast 2 fac blue flames, which is essentially cheese. When that was shut down, maybe he thought he might as well stick with mech because he had the infrastructure and upgrades?

Mech is still really strong vZ if you're going for a pre-hive timing. But, if you can't I think you need to use it as a bridge to skyterran. Just my opinion based on what I've seen ^^
