The series would have been over long ago if ByuN attacked in game 3 instead of pulling his whole army back to not kill any mutas
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Time for serral to learn to play lurkers no? Dont have to deal with the mines while byun cant play with a low eco as you need to use pretty mich all your energy on scans instead of just 25% when olaying against ling bane ultra

I mean, ping doesn't matter, when you see your mutas don't one shot the first mine, I can understand you think you made a micro mistake and go for the 2nd one. But when they don't one shot the 2nd one either, you back off, plain and simple.
That's not mentioning going for the 4th mine...
I do agree it didn't cost him the game however

This didn't last long

I still think he has great army control.
He has won so many battles this game.

He had some good engagements, but he also had some bad ones. If he micro'd properly he wins this game earlier, and also probably takes game 3 and the series 3-0.

In that big fight he should have won with enough supply left over that Serral GGs straight away.


Thing is if he’d micro everything perfectly high chance he wouldn’t have macroed that well and build the right units and generate those multifront attacks and build defense (which many terrans forget) and set up mine fields etc etc. You sacrifice somewhere to be better in other areas and its the final result that counts

But at least he used them well


It's quite frustrating to see, I think it's solar who did the same against Maru.
Why on earth top level zergs build mutas against mine/ghost ?


Because muta’s get value pretty much everytime. They can force an entire terran army back when you want to buy time, or force a terran to be completely all in after killing 15+ scv’s. Ghosts are mostly there for the ultra’s while top lvl zergs can dodge mines just fine with a overseer

Yes in midgame this is the case. But in super lategame when it's all about efficiency they don't really do anything
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Yes, but it still gives it a bit of value. You see this in CS sometimes when someone steps and is out of rhythm and goes for another time, you are still out of it. He should have backed off.

that felt a lot like fatigue to be honest... the game was not just long it was long and action packed, so i guess Byun’s endurance was quite stronger here. Maybe not, im only assuming

It's not like he wan't controlling his units in order to macro or do something else. He was micro'ing them, just not as well as he should be able to.

What unit you suggest Zerg build in that situation?

The only way is if he went lurker way earlier, ultras are garbage so are brood lord's.

It's better to have garbage units than useless ones.
And as Lambo suggested, Broodlord was probably the best way to get semi efficient trade.
Or just having more bane.

The mutas were literally the only unit doing anything, because Byun just didn't build turrets on the 2 bases he had to hold, brood lords are simply too garbage but maybe it was a better choice, regardless it was a loss anyway once Byun took that bottom left bases, just too much econ for Serral to ever keep up.

ByuN is making big strides in his quest for Katowice already and it's the first of several tournaments still remaining.
