Fullest Zest. I mean, 1k gas bank for toss at this point seems like a standard prelude to warping 8-12 DTs and killing terran. | ||

You're not meant to meet your opponent mid-map. But from what I can tell they're late on the upgrades so they have more units faster. | ||

It was a pretty odd build from Creator. | ||

What a way to lose the series. | ||

I mean, it took much longer for Zergs to realize Banes are usable vs Protoss (minus some experiments in 2011...) edit: On September 02 2020 19:31 Elentos wrote: Yeah late warpgate into robo seems weird. I can see it if you want to do some sort of 2base immortal/warp prism thing. Soultrain back in the day was the same for example. | ||

Yep, if he just delayed starting it (to try and trick dark) then I could understand it but he actually cancelled and restarted it.... just sad to see. | ||

Total screwup on his end, it wasn't intended. | ||

It took longer for it to take off than I expected tbh. I guess Protoss for the longest time just had better options so it wasn't necessary. | ||

At least they require preparation in the form of speed-drop-overlords and then also a bigger investment, plus a bit more micro. The really big problem is the roll-bys, which is almost pay X money to achieve Y damage. (with X and Y being constants) | ||

But maps are so big and the economy so huge that i'm pretty sure Zerg could make banelings work even without forcefield killers. Losing 10 banes out of 70 to bait all the protoss forcefields oughta work  | ||
