Now that i have watched the VOD of this game i still think about a solution for that unbreakable defence.

My best idea so far was to give the Mothership the stasis field spell of the bw arbiter. it would be not as random as the vortex and still can make a huge difference in the whole engagement. it would also help to see the mothership more often because nowadays no one ever uses it because its mostly useless in every situation.

Edit: ofc another solution would be a reworking/removing of the swarmhost ^^

Yup it happens once in thousands of games and of course the game is nonsense


only because people do not aim for this kind of composition. Firecake showed us, vs daisy then vs mana that he can get this composition on akilon no matter what. When you watch the begining of this game you see mana was like a lightyear ahead, but he still lost.

Anyway, watching Firecake vs Bling and the first game vs mana, you can't deny firecake has an awesome ZvP

Not to be offending or anything but that's almost like he has a single point about economy in this game being hard cap'd by amount of bases (granted mineral saturation does indeed working like almost-hard-cap line) and draws his rather correct conclusions from there. IMO, more bases with same amount of workers is not reliable only because it A. you actually can't defend it most of time if it is too far away. B. See A. While providing only benefit of A. more gas income (cool, if i am muta abusing zerg) B. longer time to mine out (now, that's important).
EDIT:
Decided to watch the Vod. Pre-game:
I love this aggressive style from FireCake.

Who's Firecake?

He's one of the top french player (basically: Tod/Dayshi/firecake/marinelord). He's in wcs challenger since the first season, and even go to first league this season. He's also well known by the EU Grandmaster to be one of the biggest badmanner, in competition with Naniwa. (And I think he really could win)
His ZvP style is very agressive, unless he goes for that kind of build. On akilon waste he's just a beast in ZvP, grats to this... fucking boring strat.
But, as Pengwin said: Like he played, he couldn't lose. So, it's not a bad decision.

Anyone could beat Naniwa in bm if they wanted to. People want naniwa to be some kind of like BM-god, but that is not the reality at all

Hm... Naniwa's still one of the biggest BM in SC2 history, you know^

It was the perfect game for showing how this game has non-sense. No way to come back vs a weaker player, no way to finish the game. The player who attacks lose the game. 3 hours of boring show, which is kinda paradoxical for a game. 3 years after the release of the game. How sad.

>implying Firecake's weaker than Mana. Statistiques prove you're wrong.

Sniper would totally win a game 7 against a massive fan favorite, exactly how this went down. fuckin' Sniper.

No. Just no. Naniwa just gets more flak for bm, because he is better known, but in reality not shaking someones hand or probe-rushing someone is not that big of a deal, if you compare it to Orb, HEADHUNTER and other guys, I am not allowed to name here.

And saying he won't play a tournament final if a streamer is in 'cause it lagged 1 time at the beggining of a game, isn't BM ?
Seriously, in the SC2 pro history, noone ever was as BM as Naniwa.

Too far here, but Naniwa is pretty BM and has been his whole esports career, back to WC3. But not the most BM in "SC2 Pro history"

A bit. Nothing serious though. I mean Stephano did´nt play tournament finals in the past, just because he was tired and did´nt want to.

But did Naniwa suggest, that David Kim gets raped with a steel pipe?
Did Naniwa repeatedly use racial slurs on ladder with no apperent reason?
Did Naniwa combine an amout of flaming, stream-cheating and map-hacking of a magnitude, that his name alone is ban-worthy on TL?

The answer is no. If you think Naniwa is the most bm player in SC2 history, you are just simply wrong.

Actually the rap lyrics were:
