Illusion's playstyle is awesome. He really has tons of raw skill. If he improves his decision making against higher-tiered players he's going to be a force.

I guess the lesson is that extra hatcheries is not a good substitute for injects

And giving T a 9 min 3rd on SS isnt so hot either.

Well, her pool was just way too delayed. That's the downside of going 4 hatch before pool. The creep spread advantage is immense, but I wonder if it's actually better economically since you have to spend so much minerals on hatcheries early and you delay tech, army, and the ability to inject. It be cool to see a pro analyze it.

I don't know for sure but my guess would be:
It's worse than 3 hatch into pool because it delays injects and stuff so long, but it might be better for a player for larva earlier on if they arent as good at hitting their injects. still sounds like it would hurt you in the long run like Bagration said

I'd be really upset if Illusion lost. His mechanics are just so much better :\

his build sucked hardcore imo. go allin with 6 raxes when scouting such a late pool or get a faster 3rd.

He overcommited with the initial marine push, if he had pulled back he would have had a huge lead. Also, dropping while having your army in a forward position like that was another big mistake.

yeah, saving the 1st batch of marines would have been awesome.
