After thinking about it the draw was probably smart. With the phoenix involved Life would've been so hard pressed to keep the drone alive. On the other hand no way could the one void ray kill all those spores. Oh well coulda been worse

that drone has more HP too

cause you just pick it up in a overlord like medivac protecting a thor

but now you are doing that with a drone

Doing all that micro and with the void ray shooting the overlord/drone and Life not being able to see the high ground if his overlord died

While all that is happening you actually don't mine any minerals

He could build spores alongside tech buildings. Like I said, it would take an extremely looooooooooooooooooong time.

He could still mine at his hatchery protected by spores... Just watch the void ray and move drone away asap if void moves in. He gets to 50 minerals and he wins.

how would he watch them though? He had no way to view high ground and void rays can reach that mineral line from the high ground safe from spores. He would have had to long distance mine because First wouldn't let him get a single mineral trip from that hatch, and if First found the drone long distance mining (still had a phoenix) First would have killed it


I thought there was an overlord there, maybe I just imagined it. Well guess he didn't because then he could have just surrounded one mineral patch by spores and place the overlord on top of them for vision and win. My bad.

There was an OL, remember he loaded the drones to reposition outside of the spore sim city.

I would say with careful control, First could win because shield regens faster than zerg buildings, but then again First lost zeolots to drones

No way he could mine that much that he could both tech AND build more spores

Yeah but if the OL was close enough to see the high ground wouldn't it basically be close enough to die to a phoenix + VR?

Uhm okay so what stops him from putting spores at a mineral patch and overlord on top and mine with one drone then?

The only way to settle the debate is to get the replay, and resume from replay.

I agree with you =P. Honestly I just think Life didn't want to bother wasting all that time.

It would require First derping a lot. Technically possible but realistically not worth it. Draw is just a much better option.
