so yeah, zerg can't win in end game TvZ : symbol has been multitasking crazy but no, at the end he's loosing

Yup, Symbol was the only one attacking multiple places at the same time. Jjakji wasn't constantly dropping all over the place at all.

i'm not complaining about balance, but spreading single medivac drops in late game on huge maps like that isn't exactly gosu level play, it's neither difficult nor expensive for terran whereas zerg has a much harder time managing a hive tech army and defending without letting mules take the game over exactly as happened here

not imba, just a fact about how macro tvz tends to play out because of each race's respective strengths/weaknesses

Jjakji even managing to secure as many bases as he did for any length of time, particularly on a map like that, is extremely impressive play in and of itself. Either that, or evidence of shortcomings in Symbol's own. Anything over 4 really shouldn't be possible against a Zerg who's on his game.

In any case, both players played extremely well but Jjakji's super clutch engagement against the brood lord army was what enabled him to get into a winning position.



As much as people would like to blame that game on mules and marines, that game was symbols to lose in the end. Every masteful move he made that led up to a diverse army with broodlords, expansions all over his side of the map, and nydus canals at each end of the map, he threw away by not properly defending his expansions, not properly denying Jjakji's (yes he would stop them initially, but J would just move right back and drop mules), and throwing his army away in that awful engagement in which he lost all his brood lords. That might've even been the turning point right there.

Also, burrowed lings to block expos>all


I think his main error was going for broods. Even though it seems reasonable since Jjakji had no vikings, broods are too big an investment for what they return (mainly mine sweeping and breaking siege positions). You lose mobility and Frost is so open that it's easy to flank the deathball.

Should've stuck with ling/bane/ultra and got more infestors imo along with burrowed lings. The burden is definitely harder on the Zerg in that situation though so it's understandable.

Maybe with TaeJa going Polt style we will get games as epic as when the two TSL players meet.

Actually it was a Klazart joke. He said it during the cast of Julyzerg winning the Golden Mouse over Best in BW.
