What is this Replay?? Is it a joke game?? I hope they're not playing seriously, because if they are these guys are complete scrubs, especially brown. Is it replay corruption or does he have 6000 minerals and 3000 vespene gas during the middle of the game? He could have easily ended the game near the beginning when red expanded to 12 o'clock by making adrenalings+ultralisks+defilers to kill off the cannons/high templars/reaver. Yet he gets devourers?? These are either noobs playing or they are joking around.

Are you kidding? This is easily one of the best replays I've seen in a... can't even really remember, it's very good and I'm surprised no one praised it yet. Well, I won't get into the specifics and spoil everything, but there's a lot of back-and-forth going on. The toss was playing so well, he had me rooting for him even though I'm a zerg player.

I was somehow disappointed, Larva[HyO] didn't really know how to drop, or didn't care enough. Apart from that, his macro was really good, the game was decent (not among the best if you ask but hey).
game.no he couldnt have gone further in the game without devourers. silence

Really impressive game by both sides. I love Zerg for not freaking out when Toss slowly tried to take charge with his gayness, and even then it was very very close. <3 Twisted.

Oh, and the Ursadon died. Boo.

Did it? Damn I must watch it again. I only saw it go around in circles half of the replay.

I really enjoyed watching the replay from minute 15. Nice spell usage like twisted said. But I dunno why nobady attacked earlier. I mean protoss doesen't need 20 cannons, before he can make reaver drop. and why not make some zealots? or some more shuttles with more reavers. I simply don't understand why he focuses on ONLY building the "mass destruction" units of protoss. Still very fun to watch though. thx titty twisted...

I really hope you're joking. Did anyone take notice the only thing the protoss had was photon cannons and templars as his defense? Yet the Zerg has way too many minerals to count and decides to build all the zerg units possible that are vulnerable to storm. He builds literally every unit EXCEPT ultralisks which is the only unit that is not vulnerable to psionic storms. No ultralisk den either. Get defilers+ultralisks with his SIX thousand minerals, kill off all land expansions then the protoss is screwed. also take notice his carapace is at level 0 by the end of the game.

also please explain what he needed devourers for. so he can go head to head with the 20* corsairs? or maybe to take down the 4 carriers which he didn't do?

Yeah game.no because we all know ultralisks just kick ass vs carriers

Great job making an ass of yourself/wasting 2 posts

bleh! I think that zerg could've won had he attacked main immediately after the drop... but he waited for toss to finish his disruptive web... >_<
to game.no:
No, if zergs make ultra, P can simply kills them with carriers, because not even defilers's swarm can cover the massive ultras :> beside the fact that protoss's corsair can simply kill all zerg's overlords, leaving him screwed.

No, you clearly do not understand at all. All he had was cannons and templars and 1 reaver as grounds units for defense, correct? He had one expansion at 12:00 o'clock. The hydralisks couldn't make it up the slope because they were range and melee doesn't work for them, correct?? SO, you need to simply put dark swarm, send a few ultralisks and zerglings to kill off the cannons and templars, and leave the rest to the hydralisks. I mean he had six THOUSAND minerals and thee THOUSAND gas. honestly, what aren't you getting? You're acting as if he wasn't making hydralisks ALL game and, by making ultralisks instead of mutalisks, he would have 0 hydralisks rather than the 50 hydralisks he had. That would leave the protoss stranded at 10'o clock with all the minerals depleted and maybe 4 carriers. 4 carriers < 30 hydralisks. BUT, 30 hydralisks < Carriers+cannons+ 6 high templars.

Shut the fuck up. It's so fucking gay when people say that; it usually means that are no more than 15 years old because no one older would care.

I sense a strange smell around ... like something burning ... oh yeah somebody is flaming again .

scourges are a pain, Zerg got full 3 armor upgrade making them very resistant to corsair bashing and it did work.

But id ont know somehow this is another zerg win that looks like an archon more and you did nothing... very strange indeed

So this is the new trend for protoss ? corsair into carrier + all F** support available ?
HT/DA/DT

maybe he should have used more Dwebs (PPPP) ?

Fuck you asshole. Wow I really care what a 13 year old has to say on the intraweb!1one Ignorant prick kids roaming around the internet. I didn't want to drop down immaturity of your barbarian level, but what has to be done, has to be done. Probably expect something of low intelligence from you yet again, such as "it usually means --> that <-- are no more than 15 years old..." nice one man, goddamn idiot. -_-

Yeah, holorin, zerg definitely could have played it better. Just hoping he was fooling around.

game.no you're dead wrong
building ultralisks against someone with mass carriers/sairs is the dumbest thing you can do because you NEED all the gas you can get.

I was originally going to post saying that "it's not fucking great spell usage when there are no queens" but he did throw an ensnare or maybe even two 45 minutes in

although that was also way too late but he had such an advantage that it didnt really matter I guess.

apart from that zerg played pretty well. and if you disregard mass guardian, ultra would have been the dumbest thing he could have done. and why on earth did you tell him to "stop resorting to swearing" when he posted "good job making an ass out of yourself" ? if "ass" is a swearword then erm.. okay good luck in life.

having money in the bank when you're fighting against sair carrier reaver templar is perfectly normal and perfectly acceptable. your flawed understanding of starcraft makes you unable to realize this, which is common on the semi-decent level of play where you know that you are supposed to spend all your money but where you do not understand brood war.

so please refrain from posting replay criticism again, at least if it is related to the skill of the players. actually you should just stop downloading our replays if you don't like them and don't bother voicing your opinion.

mass carriers? watch the replay again, buddy. FOUR carriers. That's all he had. mass corsairs, maybe. but FOUR carriers count them , FOUR carriers one two three, FOUR. I don't know if you really believe taking two times the upgrade time to build devourers against air-to-air mass corsairs was a good idea, but ultralisks have extremely strong carapace armor. The zerg had around 24 or more hydralisks. Plenty of hydralisks to take out four carriers. Throw in a few defilers and the game should've been over quickly. Ultralisks would have clearly been the wiser choice than devourers against the cannons and high templars.

Cannons, archons, high templars with storms, dark archons, corsairs with dweb, carriers, and you just want him to wisely charge his main with the most expensive zerg unit, which wasn't even upgraded?
