I doubt a lot of people noticed but it was really good. I noticed, it was pretty legit. Pig played that late game phenomenally, all this hate is so unwaranted. He chose a style that suited him and the map and played it very effectively - knew what his opponents weakness was and what he had to do to exploit that for a win. Crank didn't split his air army well at all, that cost him the game, or the void rays could have definitely won with better control. Again this game he is setting himself up for a great late game position with good defensive play early. Too many zergs try to be stingey on their defenses, but Pig knows if he sets up well his late game army control will win for him. | ||

If you go queen and investor and toss has some ground units you die. That means you have to have ground units and static D. When toss reaches late game death ball roaches will melt like nothing and all of your investors/queens will die after that. Without SH zerg can still make static D and cam behind it but has no chance to denie toss expansions. | ||

People are just hating because that was a boring game. Also Crank needs more HT | ||
