Even with 5 spines, there's always an angle.

You're overestimating korean terrans a bit...they don't have 500 apm...

So did Stephano. Did you see that engagement before he got ultras? Worst attack ever. Saved the 3rd. He got way more out of that engagement (with slow banes) than I was expecting him to. For a guy that is known for his flanks it was terrible. Both made big mistakes tho. Thorzains bio army were so low on health.

Not all the korean terrans pull feats like that off, but there are certainly some who do. Gumiho and Innovation come to mind

Can't he get in there pretty easily with boost? Or is he saving it to get out if need be? Confused why one queen out there deflected that second medivac
|
lol... 4 roaches shooting at a hellbat as he just moseys around the mineral line killin' drones

thorzain is up in supply, even on bases, AHEAD on upgrades.

Gumiho and Innovation come to mind Pretty much this. MMA could do it at his prime time too(that is long time gone sadly).
And come on, like every top Korean is saving the Medivacs, ThorZain lost like 5 in the mid game without doing ANY damage, except for getting 4th base to the half hp. Korean Terrans try to drop, if they see Mutas, they boost their way out, ThorZain use the boost to come to the hatchery, and then his Medivac gets instant killed by 10 Mutas...

thorzain started off with really high hpm but somehow he slows down now, needs to improve on it
|
This is the part where Thorzain looks like he's winning.

Thorzain getting air attack already :o

Gumiho and Innovation come to mind i remember an mlg that had stats about apm (about a year ago?)
drg was first, stephano close behind this, all i can remember but the website is probably still available

How fast is he on a scale from Sjow to merz?

Stephano had to invest so much in early game defense vs the hellbats that it put Thorzain pretty far ahead even if he didn't kill too many drones.

goddamnit Thorzain don't just stand around waiting for the Ultras to pop...

4 queens, 6 spores, early roaches, slow droning, hellbat drops still killed tons of stuff and denied even more mining time
