Well, just an idea, I didn't try it yet. I really like the hallucinated archons. I wonder if he did it only for the meatshields or if it actually made it harder for the zerg to get up a proper surround, which would reduce the damage even more. But imo he overdid it a bit, sometimes he should have saved a few more storms. But I definately think it is a good thing to do if you have too many templars to effectively use all those storms. You can also cast hallucination, morph the temps without enegry into archons and then attack, as the hallucinations will last long enough. Just like in million man march. Zergs would really have a good use for ensnare in this case (easier to place well than plague and also kills all hallucinations). | ||

When you hotkey army to late digits, you attack with them using Patrol, not Attack command. Early digits are closer to S, so that's why people use it for hatches. I thought that this is the standard setup for zerg  | ||

That's unlike anybody else's hotkeys and it seems interesting. it's because he uses two hands to macro  saw him doing it at a lan. and he uses patrol instead of attack move. | ||

I use that hotkey setup. 1-4 for hatches and 5-9 units and 0 defiler/scourge It's useful to macro as zerg -> 1sZ2sZ3sZ4sZ... zergs just need to make a lot of lings to win the game. | ||

protoss can win without ever attacking because of zerg's obsession with spending all their money on units that get sacrificed onto turtled up bases | ||

can someone explain why G5 used hallusion on the archons? It seems like such a HUGE waste of energy. He could have used 2 storms with the amount of energy he had... just doesnt seem very smart to me. IF the hallucinations did any damage, then off course it would be a viable option but psyonic storm seems like a better option. He could have ended the game if he engaged the army and casted all those storms. | ||
