Cool game, first good long TvZ with mech I've seen in HotS. Would have liked to have seen some ling/roach attacks against the nat/main of Maru in the later stages, but otherwise it was quite good.

sad for Maru. But his fault. Should not have tried to end the game before mining out his half of the map.

that A-move into soulkey's base was disheartening

if he didn't do that all his tanks would have auto died to blinding cloud anyway.

that is the reason why you shouldnt play mech on the ladder.
if you play for fun -> go bio

if you want to win -> go bio, mech is terrible, I saw hendralisk and some kid outmaneuvering the likes of byun playing mech, mech was terrible in wol but still took some games, blinding cloud just makes it laughable for zerg.

I love these guys who claim that they like strategy games, but then we see a game sooooo strategic, where every decision was about thinking as opposed to brute force, they call it boring.

As a chess player, I thought it was super interesting

Maru could have won that had he retreated with his ravens beforehand.

Would be such a killjoy.

Not sure if soulkey won because of his great defensive engagement or because marus push was so sloppy..

So impressed with that. When Maru had that powerful mech with that scary sky army I thought he had the unbeatable army. Guess infestors aren't as useless as we thought.

Exactly, that game was fucking sick.

Hopefully both sides keep developing builds like that, because it was awesome to watch.

I found that a really entertaining game. At least it shows there's some potential for high level mech TvZ in HotS.

That's why he had plenty of Vikings, wasn't it? If the Vikings can't stop your army from being blanketed in clouds or abducted, then there's not much point in having them.
