Well technically he got ahead with hellbat drops, but won with the mech push. | ||

he's right, maru could have taken that base as a 6th and retreated before the remax came instead of staying to die. | ||

The time when you HAD to tech to BLs because the power level was high enough that you had to cheat like vs Protoss deathball. 5 tanks its a game 10-15 tanks oops hive tech baby. disregard arbitrary numbers | ||

Hehe.. Also.. OGN stream still only has like 300+ viewers even though it's on the sidebar. Guess it's not just a matter of not enough advertisement. A bit sad for them haha, but I like my Gom casts  | ||

In it's current state... Nothing. But it's interesting to see once in a while. Setting up a minefield in the front of a zergs base and then putting all your barracks rally points there is not so much more exciting either. | ||

Opter.. You know better than to Ad hominem a perfectly reasonable point. We had full vision, and saw what was happening. Maru, did not so he's likely to make mistakes we would not. Getting into a location with 180 degree concave against him with 2 high grounds from which to attack killed Maru. At the same time, Soulkey was down to double-digit minerals. If the two bases had been killed, Soulkey would have needed to all-in into a more favourable position for Maru. Whether the two bases could be killed or not is of course debatable, but so is every other what-if situation. | ||

I feel like that build is really strong if you get ahead with your initial hellbat drops. But even thought Maru didnt that time, he stayed on pretty even footing until he lost his army in his big push. Felt like he kinda over made vikings, that supply would have been much more useful in more ravens/tanks. He needed to deal with those swarm host, their cost/damage ratio was HUGE in that game. So efficient. Lets go Flash!!! | ||
