He killed Zest's immos quite quick and that did the trick. | ||

Also Zest microed and macroed like shit. | ||

Like what the casters said, by going with DT tech, Zest was behind in Immortal count compared to MC. I think MC's superior immortal count won him the game despite the upgrade disadvantage. | ||

Are we really back to the "win 1 fight by better positioning" era of colossus wars, or is there more behind it? MC gambled by getting a faster forge and skipping Blink in the early game for more immortals and a really quick Charge, allowed him to barely hold Zest's push along with good micro. Blink stalkers suck ass in high supply immortal/archon/chargelot fights. After that he had to push because if Zest gets 3/1 vs MC's 2/0 and faster fourth you can easily get overwhelmed by zealots and archons even if you have more immortals. MC's window was really, really small because overcharge can sort of make up for an immortal deficit, but he had perfect execution in the final fight. edit: i think the DT drop was ok, especially because MC couldn't get anything done with his oracle/adept opening, so they were on perfecly even economies before that. 5/6 probes, forcing cannons and a ton of mining time lost of two DTs is not bad. | ||

MC had slightly better army composition and he hit a moment when he had more army (Zest had 10 workers more). So two small advantages already. He also maneuvered his army better, attacking separated chunks of Zest''s army while maintaining the concave. And he hit the timing just before Zest's upgrades and base advantage gained him anything. I'd say it was some refined play, not 1 better fight. | ||

Also he had more army overall while Zest had more workers. Zest also invested in a 4th nexus and plus 3 attack which didn't came into effect for him. MC managed to defend the warpprism from Zest right before the attack as well, but we only saw this on the minimap. That was another 10 supply Zest lost. It was a timing MC had to hit, 2 minutes later Zest would've been too far ahead. | ||

OK, well then, well done from MC. Not the most entertaining course of a game, but shows he has his game knowledge together. | ||
