You have to commend Snute for inventing such a fantastic build, but Alicia was too solid defensively and map control-wise.

Botching the push prevented Snute from building a proper army composition. He was stuck with mass SH and a few infestors after that.

Nydus was cute, but in the end it lost him 800 gas. And he never got what he needed to deal with Alicia's comp.

Snute's composition was more built for the mid-game rather than the late-game. If Snute had incorporated Ultras or Brood Lords, he would have done better against Alicia's composition. Snute had the bank to sustain a Hive army too, so I don't see why he wouldn't tech out of SH + Infestor.

UCK I can see it on his face. When you play well but still lose. I wonder how that's going to affect his psyche... and his strategy on the next map. Hopefully the qtpie zerg can make something happen (also, Alicia is playing MithrilToss, hard to break)

Alicia was pretty all in there, it didn't look like he was transitioning and basically his only chance to win was if Snute fucked up his SH micro, exactly what he did.

I still would like to see a protoss going for an end-game composition vs swarm hosts.

OK I'm ready for a 15 minute analysis

There is only big amounts of downtime between the matches when the players are setting up just like every tournament ever but its cool to hate MLG, right?

Snute need to burrow his SH every time the couldown is finish, even if he is far from his opponent and unborrow them just after the locusts pop. Stephano talk about that during 5 or 10 min in a french stream, he said that he studied a lot, the use of Roro SH's to improve their strength. The Snute SH's sometimes wait unborrow, even if they have their locusts.

That was mostly an endgame composition by Alicia, with voidray, collosus and storm. Maybe he could have added a tempest?

One bad engage, gg. Really high-level play, super cool. Would have believed that in code S RO4

none of them are close to code S RO4 level lol
cool game though. Just feel like it takes quite a bit more skilled to control a swarmhost army compared to a Toss deathball because it is much harder for a toss to have a mess up lose all engagement compared to the zerg swarm host army.
