This is so sad to watch. 3 base into defensive planetaries and ravens. Terrans who play like this are the biggest aids ever, forcing the zerg into turtle swarm host 3 hour game because you can't attack in to the terran. Somehow Tefel still manages to do some damage with roach hydra, really awesome play by Tefel.

This strategy is kind of boring from Lillekanin but tbh if you know Tefel's style this is a pretty smart thing to do

doing what wins is always smart but "effective" and "fucking absurd" are not mutually exclusive

it wouldn't be so unacceptable without mass repair on planetaries. im certainly not saying repair is op or should be removed, but the specific combination of early planetary + mass repair is just absurd and ruins the game in the exact same way that pylon walls at the bottom of main ramps used to

I dunno that this does nearly as well against other styles of Zerg. Many things look "fucking absurd" in certain situations.

im not sure youre following. "absurd" does not in any way connote "overpowered"

Yeah, the terran can always force the game into a turtle game if he wants to since he doesn't need more than 3 bases to build enough mech slowly to not die with walls etc and then take a 4th... I can't believe how some people manage to play/practise that style without going insane.

i actually beat this exact style on ladder with pure roach/hydra the other day but the terran was kind enough to literally build no army units before ravens and try a bunch of ill advised hidden bases instead of doing it correctly. and he was nowhere near as skilled as lillekanin. still took me 30 minutes to win just because i needed to wait for enough DPS to beat mass repair and then run around to all his fucking bases

he was at least mannered though lol

Just doing that style is bad mannered in itself imo. If I knew that someone would play such a style at the start of the game I'd probably just leave and play 4 games instead of wasting my time sitting trying to kill a terran who has just decided to never attack.
