Great game, but pretty scary for Serral now that he lost Pillars of Gold

Don't worry bane+ling eats everything anyways so long as you have the resources for it. And they're like the most mobile compo too

Considering those mine hits it appears it requires some technique as well. Also don't a-move into marauders, trust me

Both Serral tanking so many mine hits and Maru losing all those SCVs to shift-click ling runbys are probably down somewhat to ping. These two are usually more on point with map awareness than anyone else

I would assume it was Serral's map pick and therefore Maru's server choice.

Yeah, his game plan was basically to set up his economy and then throw stuff at Maru until he starved. I think he ended up throwing too many units away to deny the 5th which left him unable to stop the planetary at the 6th.

What's the concensus on this map? Better for Maru or Serral? Looks better for zerg to me.

Wow Rock solid Maru. That was the most amazing Terran defense against Zerg LBM I have ever seen considering Serral could expand kinda uncontested.

Amazing game from both! Where are the hype killing non believers now?

I meant more the mines in the middle-ish left. It got like 3 free hits because no observer.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Played tower defense against lingbane until Serral ran out of money on his side of the map.

Maru was also able to eventually secure split map bases too.

Let see if Serral keeps refusing to play hydras/lurkers instead of LBM into Ultralose. He must have a good reason, maybe the possibility of backstabbing production with mutas, but against Maru's cost-effectiveness it may not cut it.

Really efficient over time with mines & bio.

Game was really good. Was worried about Maru early on.

Maru defended really well, held on to his bases pass 25mins with +22k resources efffiency and Serral ran out of money after throwing everything at Maru

I saw a a dozen of mine hits that in some circumstances could be considered game ending as well. Just huge efficiency from Maru overall.
I was laughing so hard when one of the casters was praising Serral for his amazing efficiency lol

There isn't a server that makes it equal, it's always worse for one of them. But yes nobody has good ping cross server.
