Curious picked off two full medivacs and this allowed him to get 4th and deny T 4th... T couldn't move out because of mutas. But Z messed up and lost too many mutas. Allowed T to get 4th and move out... Almost killing 5th (and 4th?) but not being able to. Still T was a tiny bit ahead in supply, but behind in income... And then ultras happened and 2 minuts later the game was over and Z won? I don't play TvZ or ZvT. I haven't watched more than maybe 20-30 games of it in LotV. Not while paying attention anyway. All I feel like is Z would never have won a game that played out like this in Hots. Am I way off or what? in tvz it's either kill him before ultras or die | ||

Not the -cleanest- set I've ever seen, but definitely enjoyable. | ||

Might as well prevent Z from dictating the engagements so you can take them. Sure you won't immediately have the ability to win on open ground, but you can fly around and rip them apart. | ||

If the game is even, or its some kind of scrappy game with lower economy than normal (like this one was), ultras fully upgraded means game over (even like 4~5 ultras) cause T doesn't have the economy to switch to ghosts | ||

He could've transitioned, but he decided to go more into libs and thors instead. I definitely agree that ultras are /hard/ to beat, but they're not impossible. He also could've gone full into the counterattack style, but instead he tried to pick a fight head-on which is exactly how you get trashed by ultras when your composition sucks. I have no clue if ultras are OP, but if they are that game doesn't show it. | ||
