He played beautifully up until the decision to go for mass muta.

Yes that's how you deal with mech, but when Gumiho is in your base it's pretty hard to remax on SH/Viper. ^^

Obviously a big mistake to let him get there.

When in the base like that, I'm not sure what's the best. Maybe ultras and just attack all at once. Or mass muta. It's a dicey situation for sure.

In any other matchup/compositions soO would have just been able to keep attacking to take the win after getting such a huge advantage, denying the third while getting his 5th up. Not commenting on his choice to go for more mutas after that, but it's just boring that you have to play vs 4 base mech and can't really attack in to them, no matter if mech is actually good or not.

Hm sometimes I get the same feeling in TvP. You drop main while denying third, get your third up and get a big army. Then you get stormed once and just die to the 2 base push.

For sure it happens more often to me than to the pros (because my ghost control is non-existant), but it's not that uncommon among pros either.

And yeah, it's bad game design. The "3 base=max eco" (maybe 4 for gas intensive strategies like mech or mass muta) is so terrible. Would be my #1 change for LotV for sure.

Seeing his play of late, plus being a fanboy anyway makes me sad in how little CJ used him in PL

Who's looking good this qualifier? Seen the bracket and looking at scores it seemed Rain really teared it up, soO likewise
