Wow. What a sick unexpected build, Maru caught Life off-guard. Completely controlled the map and managed the big zerg counterattacks well. Got really hectic there for a bit.

looking really bad for KT now :/

Ex Zerg learning Terran. A bold move.

Not so much, there were already quite a number of viking that can buy enough time to get thors.

Mutas kill the production and then trade with the army tho.

Curious seems to do well in Z vs Mech. I think there is still hope for the MU.

he won against Bravo.... and by being so far ahead that he can remax his army multiple times on tech switches


Yes, that is exactly how you play versus mech, even pre-patch.
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 9 cans of ravioli, but I did and I'm ashamed of myself. The first can doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating.

Combined Mech upgrades means that Vikings are 3-3 before your BLs and Corruptors are even 2-2 or something. I don't think that BL switch would be ideal in any situation.

Muta switch would have been great but he didn't have the money for like 50 mut-muts.

Yeah, if somehow Life managed to get 3k/3k for Mutas, it might. That works only against players that let you do whatever the hell you want as Zerg.

Maru mechs a decent amount (even vs protoss).

Once the Terran gets such a big mass of tanks on the ground to deal with ultras and fortify their bases with walls and planetaries sticking to ultra/ling doesn't really cut it either

Roach drop all-ins in the mid-game are might actually be safer than going out on a limb and trying for late-game, at least right now.

I think putting out Flash in this game gives KT the best chance to win. Sue me.

Hilarious comments, really. For once we have a real mech TvZ game instead of the SH vs Raven crap, and this ensues. No comment

Eh, he goes mech sometimes.
Maru vs EffOrt, Maru vs HyuN, Maru vs herO - all mech, right?

Obviously the SH change favors terran since it's the zergs that has to change it up. Imo we haven't seen enough games yet to say what needs to change. Best solution is imo to fix the economy, but that's not going to happen anytime soon

edit: also Life could've scouted it was mech earlier. He played like vs bio until quite late.

Less Ultras and more lings (+flank) i think
Maru didn't have many hellbats near the end

Or Muta+Corruptor ball since there were no Thors either


And his lings did not have adrenal glands (according to Wolf)

Yeah I want to see more of that roach drop into nydus reinforcement build .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

No one will ever be happy. If its not terrans then its protoss if its not protoss its zerg. Its what an asymmertrical game is.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

With SHs practically gone, wouldn't dividing mech ground and air upgrades make sense again?
Since it would make air switches much more difficult for terran if their air is only 0/0

It was great to watch, but terran might be favored playing it, no?
