SK managed to clean up all Zests pylons. Zest falls back and then comes back harder with more pylons. By then SK had burrow (No robo for Zest) but skipped lings. Zest just overran him with too many stalkers and zealots despite the burrow. | ||

Soulkey overextended for no reason at all, and lost majority of his army because of Time Warp and Force Fields, while Zest was just snowballing with his Blink Stalkers even though he basically lost the game since his first few attacks didn't do much. | ||

I'm rather ignorant when it comes to ZvP but I don't understand either where all those "throw!" claims come from. Soulkey never had more than 40 drones, so even with the gold it's not enough to be significantly ahead against 2-bases Protoss. | ||

Isnt staying back even more risky b/c of ramp FFs and then blink into the 3rd? | ||

Well, he traded a lot better when he was on creep and when he did let Zest to attack him instead of other way around. He also attacked like 5-10 seconds before Burrow had finished, and he could've traded a lot better with Burrow. I don't know, it was just a bunch of bad decisions from Soulkey in the last few minutes, mass Roaches against Blink Stalkers, attack off Creep, attack without Burrow, not making any lings. | ||

Soulkey never had more than 40 drones, so even with the gold it's not enough to be significantly ahead against 2-bases Protoss. That's also important to note, Zest was ahead on workers the whole time, even with a gold that is just no sufficient income to win a battle of attrition. It's a protoss strat that works well on maps like this, set up camp outside the zerg third, keep warping in units, poke and prod until you have sufficient army size and your MSC has banked up energy. Zerg cannot drone because he has to make units non-stop as not to die. Eventually as you get enough stuff, your greater efficiency wins out. | ||

Good points. I didnt realized that he didnt wait for Burrow to finish, thats kinda weird. | ||
