as a zerg player, i can see why this might make some protoss players upset lol. good job by starbuck hanging in there though, especially since welmu had a pretty big lead after the mid game

Carriers were a huge mistake, he doesn't even have enough minerals to replace the lost interceptors... tepests would be way better choice.. not sure what was Welmu thinking

just sit on a mothership with army underneath and wait for referee to call a rematch an hour later

What a stupid game. Welmu played much better imo. Starbuck didn't even use the active base-sniping SH style. It was just 100% turtle and defend on equal bases to the Toss. Seems very silly to me.
