You almost make me want to offrace some Zerg and transition my droping skill into burrow play, almost

Yeah, 10 roaches can be a LOT of roaches in an engagement during those stages, I never actually realized how expensive of an investment the burrow play can be. That would explain why I die a lot when I research burrow/tunneling claws but kick ass once I get it out... a good move is to pull their army back with harass (before burrow finishes so they don't see the upgrade on your roaches) to delay the push, it's really really good on horizontal spawn frost for example where you can poke the third and try to pull them all the way toward the bridge, then send burrow squads into their bases while the army is out of position

Violet is still on no gas. I can't see him holding this off.
|
She cancelled the baneling nest! Casters unfortunately didn't see that.
|
Scarlett is taking some nice advantages.

Violet is killing himself.

Scarlett is so far ahead....

Roaches with no speed off creep will take horrendous losses trying to cross the map, and the muta player will have spines and lings to surround. You really need speed and either infestors or hydras. Yeah, and you have some time to do it tho. It is not like Scarlett instantly popped hive - great spire - broodlords. He was too passive after he saw the mutas like "i am just gonna do mah thing" imho. Likely he expected a standard roach transition, in which case it made sense to turtle until his key upgrades finished. The broodlords caught him completely off guard.

What is more efficient for taking an island, nydus or overlord drop?

scarlett's out for blood here

He also had no vision or map control after the Mutas. He wouldn't have expected Broodlords, and Zerg players are generally practiced enough that "Oh, Mutas, A-move whole army" doesn't actually work in normal circumstances.
