I think every Protoss can have sick Phoenix micro nowadays, just such gosu range.

Also the stream is basically unwatchable for me. I'm on low and it still has to buffer every so often. This is ridiculous. I have 65 mbps down (at a "slow" time, I usually have 75-80) and 30 up. Twitch needs to get their act together...

Damn, I thought for sure Zest was dead when that Hydra attack went trough, I can't believe he held.

Well Leenock being at 0/0/0 upgrades surely helps out...

The observer at Leenocks natural ramp is the hero of the game, Zest can prepare perfectly and wont be caught off guard. Really helped him a lot holding this attacks

Along with every Mothership Core ever created in PvT - But surely he will make a nice candidate.

Well, Leenock could have won this if he were fighting the killbots.

Haha, true that. Reminds me of the MC vs Ret game on Metropolis, where MC sneaks a probe into Ret's main, the probe places a proxy pylon that initiates the start of an attack that sees Ret lose his entire main, the probe then casually gets out of the main, trough the natural and returns to MC's base completely safe.
