Soulkey built all his reinforcement Hydras from his main, natural, and rocks third at the same time. If he had built them at another base they would have died trying to rally. Subtle but brilliant | ||

You could roam the map and hunt things down or pounce on a group of unsuspecting hydras. Like Artosis pointed out, Soulkey fungaled the hellbats and just shot them down with hydras. Assuming he does the same to the BFH they are equally worthless at dealing damage in a fight. What the hellbats do is tank damage while siege tanks deal damage. When playing mech I like to make a pack of BFH to defend ling runbys and harass bases. Packs of hydras aren't commonly found alone, and if there is an infestor with them you can't deal any damage to them. | ||

I think he just got caught up in the moment and lost his levelheadedness and decided to try and go for the win :/ | ||

I thought for sure that Maru was going to win that engagement -- it appeared as though Soulkey survived purely based on hitting exactly the blinding clouds on the tanks and fungals on the ravens/vikings that he needed to let the hydras pick off the air. It's one of those engagements that is so rare that even pros can mess it up; I think normally that would be a terran win based on the DPS and hit points of that army. If there was one more seeker missile, or a few less hydras, or perhaps even if that last viper didn't get that last blinding cloud off, this game may have gone the other way. | ||

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 think that Z concave you mentioned was the biggest problem. I think terrain and choke points make mech really strong. Maybe he should have pushed sideways into the third or so. | ||

Bio is about trying to force mistakes from your opponent, where as to win with mech you need to be super airtight and not make any mistakes yourself. Bio you can throw armies away and it means nothing, mech is all about being strong as hell. I'll take your word for it. Hopefully the two max armies will end up being somewhat similar in strength. To me it seems that once T gets that army, they have to screw up quite severely to lose it, but you obviously have much more experience with it. Scans, sensor-towers etc seem borderline broken to me in the late-late game. | ||
