There's two in the next group but that requires Trap to win a PvZ or Patience to be playing well, neither of which are given. Prince has to beat some pretty strong people to get through. I feel like the chances of both Trap and Patience making it through group F are much better than Prince's chances here. But hey looks like Prince is pulling a Firefly. | ||

Not necessarily because T is weak at home and the defence for mines is just vision and reacting. The build itself isn't that great but is terran doesn't see it coming, you can steal wins with it. But it doesn't auto-beat any build. | ||

Why isn't muta ling standard in ZvZ Because if you get behind on mutas it's basically impossible to win, so whoever is behind usually transitions to hydras. Since Fungalling a flock of mutas doesn't stun like in WoL/HotS them you can't bank on that to make things even either. | ||

The downside to it and the reason it's not the de facto build is that you're getting melee upgrades so it doesn't transition as nicely into your lategame lurker armies. | ||

Did she just forget speed? Her speed was super delayed so maybe, but that set up with speed looks super suspicious so I thought she was purposely delaying it to fake a 2 base opening. A fake 2 base opening with actual 3 hatch economy doesn't sound half bad but there were better locations for that so it also sort of seemed like a plan-b idk.. I kinda wish she made a lair or something when Armani's scout came in, cos obviously that's super weird, but it would explain the weirdness to Armani and probably would'n't have triggered him to then go scout with the ling. | ||

Your impressions about the strength of the build order doesn't trump Protoss' persistent lack of success in the match-up. If it's actually broken we'd see it more. | ||

It's not literally unbeatable but despite how long the build has been around it seems like Zergs just can't deal with it consistently. Some try nydus, some try mutas, most try ravagers, some try lings/queens, and there doesn't seem to be any strategy that beats it with any real consistency. It reminds me of immortal/sentry in 2012 where it's just so hard to hold even if you are aware its coming. If you do any build EVERY game people will just blind counter it, not that I have any idea what a blind counter would be. | ||

I'm not sure anyone tries to defend cannon rushes into shield battery pushes with mutas.. And I'd argue that zergs do deal with it rather consistently. Some of the gateway and void ray oriented follow-ups (as opposed to the traditional immortal approach) are flavor of the month currently, but no doubt zerg will find a way to deal with it as usual. | ||

The more gateway based ones aren't a dealbreaker in that scenario but it doesn't just insta win like if you manage to squeeze out mutas vs the pure immortal ones. | ||

Scarlett couldn't do that due to no spawning pool so she was forced to go ravager. She had already invested in the roach warren and didn't have money for more than one spine before the pool died. Vs Ragnarok? That wasnt a robo battery rush and he won that game. | ||

Happy for Scarlett! I knew her ZvZ was better than the first set, though the mutas just steamrolled in the 2nd game of the rematch and I had to do a double take Prince - wow, that cannon rush in the first game had my Terran heart pumping like mad, fun hold by Maru though, and the fact that Prince cannon rushed again was pretty fun (though I generally don't really like cheese...in real life and in SC2) | ||

I'm far less prone to complain about cheesy play in preparation heavy formats. If your preparation leads you to the conclusion that you should cheese to give you the best chances to advance and exploit your opponents' weaknesses, I'm totally okay with that. And as for Prince, he went for really fun and unorthodox strategies, so I enjoyed his run too ! | ||
