marauder-marine rape them really quick without ling-bling support
and besides .. ling bling do the job better .. also building spines make you have a lesser income since you lose drones for it and you have to rebuild it ..
We just saw DRG take out Innovation 2-1 with heavy spine crawler useage at his 4th and Dimaga 2-0 Flash with Spinecrawlers defending his 4th in the second game.

and wow, dimaga is so likeable. so down to earth and at ease on camera. we need more nerds like this guy.
Well, we will get them when the scene get older and isn't 80% of 16-20 years old lol.

If he would not play as ro48 challanger, i'd agree with that. We all know how good flash CAN be, but ultimatly he is good in 1 game and then plays like he never touched SC2 in the second game ( slight exageration here)
Yeah he definitely did not play as good as he can. But people should not take anything away from Dimaga's win
Dimaga sure did his research, scouted what was coming and slapped it down. Really solid play from Dimaga, if he continues like that he can go deep.
Still, if God had been there, the 2-0 would be the other way arround.

I just think its something to fall back on, and I doubt 4 drones make such a big difference
I don't know, I rather have a spinecrawler than 6 lings.

It's not "4 drones" though, it's a 400 mineral commitment and a loss of 160 minerals per minute until you replace the drones, which means you lose like 80 or so minerals even if you queue them immediately

He saw what Flash was planning, as in Hellbat drops, and then took the optimal steps to counter it. His last minute turn of that Overlord to see the Armory was crucial.
this is exactly what i said earlier, the one pixel that let him spot the armory at the last minute before the overlord died was a huge deal. so a bit of luck IMO as at the stage of the attack timing hitting, it would still be hard to get an overlord to penetrate flash's base to that point. so maybe flash could have denied more aggressively. anyway it's hard to say if he wouldn't have lost anything to flash's opener if he hadn't spotted it and got all the defensive timings perfect (which was still impressive).

When you have 92 drones, losing 4 drones to make 4 spines does not hurt at all. Also, 4 spines do just fine against those small batches of bio-mine terran sends to lure stuff.
well i didnt realize that lol .. also flash was on the disadvantage at that time .. if flash was on equal footing .. i think the situation will be different .. no doubt the spines help on tanking .. but theoretically no-spines are better in a perfect situation
