Point of Emphasis: Down to the wire game.. love that style. Protoss is intelligent and prepares for the end game by making each expansion an expensive endeavor for the zerg. Both offensively and defensively. This is a nice reminder to the P players out there: Always bring a templar at an expansion. Simple technique like that can make a protoss expansion a real annoyance. Additionally, calm throughout the game goes expansion heavy which backho then reacts by going army heavy.. this is the proper counter. Do not wait for a certain tech or try and match them for expansions.. it is gogo time.

Great game, though I have to say:
+ Show Spoiler +
Backho was very much in charge after a certain point, but that's not to say Calm did'nt have a shot. More harrass and more agressive use of cracklings in flanks would really have swayed things for him.

And lol at base defenses, holy shit those were some massive clumps of sunkens and cannons!

Late game with the reavers and all on maps like this I think guardians would make for a nice addition to the zergs' army.

at 33 minutes backho hides two reavers behind a tree when the guardians are targeting them and the guardians miss 20 shots in a row, lol

i liked how calm's strategy seemed to be "fuck you i do what i want"

BackHo got 3-3 grades really quickly then sat there on 2k gas maxed out not getting shields for half an hour. Plagued zealots were losing 1v1 against cracklings. Archons were being torn down in seconds. What's wrong with that guy?

back and forth until the reaver drop/storm drop hurt the zerg economy too much, it's gg from there
