This is more than just taking a risk, either your opponent did CC first and you win or he didn't and you lose. There are also some maps where you can defend a 6-pool with CC first on the high ground by re-walling with an E-Bay but that doesn't work on Newkirk. So it's really just flipping a coin | ||

Looking on am/eu ro16 groups we may not have many zergs in season finals yeah no Zergs would make it a bit boring, but Protoss would rip through the Terrans so we get a Protoss winner most likely. | ||

What First did was absolutely incredible and its quite a shame you are too zerg biassed to see the beauty behind his subtle actions. And even if a roach hydra switch would have cleaned up the attack, First's would have reacted appropriately by warping in deffensively and then switching into immortal, archon voids and would have crushed Symbol with the follow up attack, roach, hydra is just trash at that stage of the game if the toss plays it out correctly. But since I see you are adamant to stick to your flawed point lets agree to disagree. 1.Once you get to that point in zvsp as a zerg on this map this composition symbol had is broken. Yet toss is incredibly overpowered against zerg these days. Still i think this composition, once you get to this point, you shouldnt lose as a zerg on this map. A stephano would have never ever lost to this. Not even gowser. 2.Symbol did a couple of mistakes, for example cutting drones too early, not playing more greedy and having not enough static defense. Nothing first did here was good he went for a burst that he got lucky with. And even that was bad play. Voids were spread apart from each other so symbol could pick them off. His zealots warpins were ridicolous. He got the greater spire 2x, that was all symbols fault, not firsts good play. He even lost 15 zealots in between the third and forth base doing nothing but fighting broodlords. Not even getting symbol out of position. Plain bad play by first, symbol just did very stupid mistakes. 3.Both used up all their banks, they had NO minerals and gas left. The problem was that symbol spent all his minerals AND HIS HUGE GAS BANK (he had like 4k gas much more than first)by making mutas. If he could reenforce with roaches, he can clean up this massive warpins with them very mineral and gas efficient. Both had no banks but symbol would have had a huge gas bank, he could make a shitload of infesters. And it takes a long time till first has an army to push again. In this time symbol could set up his defense again. So all in all, really bad play by first. Symbol just made a lot of mistakes that he never ever should have made. No "subtle" actions of first. Well if you think fighting with zealots against broodlords is subtle... | ||

So it's really just flipping a coin I would call it poor preparation, okay they mention there haven't been alot ov vZ from Supernova, but Reapers are just so Supernova. And the 6 pool overstayed its welcome anyway, almost no Terran risks anything anymore on the big maps, because it is so common. | ||

Stephano has the advantage of probably understanding zvp better then anyone | ||
