Haha that was sick, trying to save that nexus was very greedy from Parting. Wp Hydra.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

it's fucking boring

PartinG is extremely good, but he plays like a cunt and watching him play should make every Protoss feel guilty.


I feel nothing but swelling pride when PartinG plays.

We would have learnt something indeed, because I don't think you can hold the Nexus at all in that scenario. You probably should just make a wall at the ramp and expand again with a roughly equal position.

Protoss can reinforce right in your base, there's no such thing as a defender's advantage in ZvP, so why do this?


of course there is a defenders advantage in ZvP, but gold bases have a lot less of those advantages because they should be harder to hold. Lack of ramps, more open space, etc


What is that defender's advantage exactly? Protoss almost has a smaller reinforcement distance than zerg, so I find that hard to believe.

You might want to check out CatZ's stream



I'm inclined to say that CatZ faces much worse opponents on the ladder than those guys. I'm talking tournament games.


when I say defenders advantage I mean stuff like ramps, chokes/open areas. Distance is part of it, and sure, warp in does negate that to some degree but you still often have to run up a ramp, or pass through places where OL:s can spot your advance


Since when do ramps and chokes help Zerg in ZvP? Open areas maybe, but Protoss has a way to negate that as well.


In ZvP there's just no defender's advantage that you can rely on. So a strategy that relies on you having it is stupid against Protoss imho. With that gold base you're putting yourself out there soo much, that any capable Protoss should be able to abuse it.


I gave example of general things that I mean when I say defenders advantage. And ramps do help Zerg, Roach concaves, queen or spine fire down from it and no vision up it for toss in some situations.

I think it's actually the one thing in sc2 that can be considered really imbalanced. Hydra is just way worse than Parting.
