[Translation] Effort's Extractor Mistake
During today's ACE match between SKTelecom T1 and CJ Entus, Effort brought a drone along with a large amount of zerglings (about three control groups) to break Fantasy's wall. However, the zerg's extractor does not actually create a gap in the wall.
Effort's mistake did not only result in the loss of a drone, but falsely led him to create zerglings for the wall break. The loss of such a large number of zerglings and larva set back Effort's economy, leading to Fantasy's win.
It should also be noted that when Fantasy built the refinary on the geyser, the wall opened up for zerglings (as can be seen in the second attack).

I think he made the extractor so less SCVs could repair the supply depot.

Umm.... I know your title reads spoiler, but doesn't even seeing the name "Effort's Mistake" kind of spoil it...?

Effort had two games today, besides, a mistake doesn't necessarily imply the outcome of the game.

I have to watch the VOD to make sure, but if I recall it, he could only use 2 SCVs and then the supply was destroyed.

Nah, that was during the second assault, where his own marines were blocking access to the center depot, so only one SCV could repair it.

Renamed the thread just in case.

oh... so sorry then, lol
I just had the impression when I watched the game.
damn, if he thought he could use it to make a gap he screwed even harder...

It's annoying how weird some of the buildings collision boxes are.
|
Ah well Fantasy's gay vulture drop rush --> valk build got figured out. Only a matter of time until this stupid bio -> mech shit does too right? RIIIIIGHT?
Actually I wasn't watching the game too closely, fantasy faked a bio opening then came out with a timing push right? Some1 correct me if I'm being an idiot cause the game was on at 2 AM over here lol

I know for a fact that gas is completely sealed everywhere UNTIL Assimilator/Refinary/Extractor is built on it. Effort was trying to abuse this fact, and there was a way for lings to get through. Unfortunately, good defense from Fantasy, as he saw what was going on.
|
If you read, it says it doesn't apply for extractors.
|
yeah, guess koreans dont know this, since the commentators were shouting GAS GAS GAS before the extractor was built and for pretty much no reason.
but the scv was there to block too, so idk.
|
Someone posted this earlier but I don't know if anyone saw it. Someone should go test this out!

Oh wait nvm, this is a different wall... he should have had the depot on the bottom iirc. So I guess it was true that the extractor did NOTHING. Wow, poor effort.

I don't know why the article writer at wfbrood put their logos on the pictures, but if you follow the link at the end of the article, it eventually traces back to Liquidpedia.
That said, this article is interesting, and the gap is between the right side of the extractor and the left side of the supply depot.

Perhaps fantasy knew that building the rax right at that spot could open up a hole, hence the depot above the gas. My two cents.
