It was not appropriate to continue those ling attack in the second wave of aggression. 3. Those baneling in the third wave was way too ambitious and actually wasteful. Mid-game: 1. MOST important: XiGua did not extend his creep. The creep did not even reach the central area of the map. 2. He went for ling/baneling/muta attack outside creep = suicide. 3. He possessed those amount of mutas, but just did not fly those mutas to Heart's bases. Most of time, he just put his mutas outside his own bases to........ defend....... (what? you hold the huge advantage, why do you need to defend) Let me address some of these: Early: 1. He killed all the SCVs anyways. Heart was down to 7 workers to 50 or something completely ridiculous. 2. He definitely should have continued the aggression. Everyone including probably Heart was sure he was dead. Somehow he held on and "stabilized" although he was still in a really bad situation. 3. Not sure exactly what you are talking about but I do agree that some of the banelings were wasteful. Still, I think it was more Heart getting a little lucky and executing perfectly rather than XiGua playing poorly. Mid: 1. Sure his creep was so-so but he was on 3 bases to 1 with 50 more workers then he was on 5 bases to 2... 2. He went for an attack outside of creep but he was still 50 supply ahead. He thought he still had the win and he should have. 3. True, he didn't harass with the mutas much and instead chose big engagements and baneling run-by's. They just didn't work out due to Heart's defense and godlike micro. XiGua didn't play perfectly but overall Heart was just incredibly impressive! | ||
