Point of Emphasis: I envy this zerg. His style of play is really solid but he remembers to do what I always forget (and get lazy about frankly).. that is make defenses. Seems basic.. but it really does a lot for a zerg's game. This game shows why that is SO important. When a protoss is successfully harrassing your economy to shambles your only chance is to get more bang for your buck out of some solid defenses.. Dimaga does that. Beyond that this is a great game worth watching.

Really like his style of play. Nice to see a new face winning Ukraine and shaking things up. Strelok? White-rA? Nope, this year it was DIMAGA!

frustrating game... dreivan should have attacked those 4 sunkens instead of try to push with 4 reavers.. he was at limit and dimagas units was out of position...

Imbalance!

Nah, just kidding. He is using the potential of the race to the fullest. Lurk/sunk/spore gaywalls, plague, mass drops - he did it all in a game where Dreiven's pressure was simply perfect.

Yea it's pretty gay....

But oftentimes midgame its very difficult to engage protoss in open battle.

How are building sunkens, any different to the mass cannon of the protoss expansions? Stop complaining!

Actually I was whining about that guy rather than sunkens. Everytime I play Dimaga I know the game is gonna last at least 30 minutes and that he won't attack no matter what, even if he will wait 50 minutes. It's just very frustrating, trust me :[

Seems to me if he turtles a lot on maps like this you should just make sure that he doesn't expand that much. Dreiven had the advantage in army power for a lot of time in the game so just don't let Dimaga expand that much and he could've taken the win quite easily imo. Dimaga taking 10 natural could be avoided imo.

I thought dreiven had the game with all his great storms =/ Those were some great ultralisk flank attacks from the Z player

OMFG MY HERO.

I used to play ZvP alot like this on lotem, but in the days before wgtour/wsl/pgt/iccup if you lost all your friends that played P, you had nobody good to play with.

So I stopped.

I think in a sense ZvP should look like this. If you don't get an advantage when you are three base vs 2 base toss, and the game is even. He will be able to get his fourth base. This solves the problem of worrying about it.

Also tosses shuttle harrassment was..... well fucking sick. I love this guys P so much and I hate p's.
