Stardust just get's stuck inbetween trying to basetrade and trying to defend... that wasn't very good decision making or reading his opponent in this series. Sloppy play by Stardust and it's just getting way too predictable at this point what he's going to do.

Awesome decision making from Scarlett realizing that she wasn't in the best shape she could have been earlier on and great switch and keeping this information away from Stardust was great!!!! Good play, should be enough for the win now

Mutas are by far the best unit currently in this game.

Feels like the platinum league in WoL when sc2 was ~1 year old, muta ling was really big there.
Not to insult, its just reminding me the time I began to attack zergs really early because they made muta ling without making the lings to def XP

Mass mutalisks means no ground units. And the Protoss can't really defend with his slow army. => trade base

I think Stardust must use the same style he used against Nerchio or mutalisks are going to 3-0ed him. :d

Very well played by Scarlett. That hydra feign worked wonders.

This is one of the reasons why Naniwa/sOs like to play with 3stargates and why it has rotated back into the metagame again recently even though it stopped for a while with Dear on top of things. I think stargate play is suppppppppper important vs these muta switches because as we saw, without phoenixs ready to go, goodluck.

I imagine Stardust must be quite pissed... getting into a base race vs muta-zerg was always one of the most frustrating ways to lose for me oO

Yeah, for everyone really, Terran or Protoss

It must feel quite good from the Zerg side though.

it was rather unexpected that Stardust went to mainbase instead attack 3rd and 4th base.
Generally cannon, bunker and Spines have a too long buildtime (except early game).

I like the base trades when it's uncommon and when the player who decides to base trade takes a huge risk. When it's 90% than he's going to win, it's way less exciting.
