+ Show Spoiler + I kind of worry Larva will drop early in the ASL to some ZvZ sniper. Hope he will get his other matchups up to date as well. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + HOLY SHIT, LARVA IS INHUMAN. Even though I knew he was going to win, I was still gripped by the suspense due to the intensity | ||

Just theorycrafting, but what about playing larva style (nydus farbase) but once you get that big bank going, making like 2 spores at each base? clearly sci vessels disrupted his play a ton from the delifers.. I'm not saying make spores over units but I feel like that game would be way more comfortable for Larva if he could stop the sci vessels getting in close range of that 1 oclock natural.. Kinda reminding myself of the old SC2 2012 style of like mass spine/spores because its free supply (minus the drone).. Lame play? Sure, but it would make a difference IMO. | ||

You answered Your own question Sir Spore is not free , It's drone +75 mins for creep + 50 mins for spore.Losing a drone = losing mining time. 2x spore = 10 lings (plus mining time+100 minerals for drones) where spores are pretty useless vs drops and vessels...I mean in best case scenario You're gonna kill 1 vessel before Terran irradiates all what he wants to ? Terran can always d-matrix one vessel to take dmg.I havent seen the video yet so I dont know the exact situation but that's my opinion . Eraser ? Burrow is much more efficient imo oh and PS: It's called sunken in SC:R/BW , not spine Edit : oh well , I've missunderstood Your sentence.In terms of supply it is free | ||

Most zergs get a spore at their nat and their fourth (third's nat) so if terran's vessels are plagued he won't be able to irradiate rallied units. If his vessels aren't plagued it wouldn't matter if you had 2 spores or not because they would just irradiate your units and move away after so one is enough. If you're talking about making a spore in your main for stuff like vessel self-irradiate(eraser trick) its kind of a waste to be honest. The times where zergs usually get erased is when they're already behind so they won't have the luxury to just make 2 spores at each main. Burrow would be a better choice against it. | ||

Burrow is much more efficient imo oh and PS: It's called sunken in SC:R/BW , not spine Edit : oh well , I've missunderstood Your sentence.In terms of supply it is free I meant when the game gets to that point where zergs are floating ~1000+ minerals, and getting near the 175+ supply range. Making and using a drone or two for spores are worth it IMO at that stage, but obviously not earlygame. I was mentioning spines in relation to the SC2 style that was popular back then.. obviously its sunken in BW, but the only time you see sunkens is to defend the MM timing usually. I've seen some zergs do what I'm saying; ironically a recent SC2 player like Ret (yes I know he has a bw history) I've seen build his expos with 3-4 sunkens and spores - which defends against drop harass and vessels pretty decently, at least buying time for reinforcements. I just think its a safer way that zergs could maintain lategame bases for minimal cost (minerals/drone usage, but not supply which is the main issue lategame) - whatever i'm not a zerg player anymore so I won't explore it but maybe someone will. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + starting at around 9:20 video time: its hard to imagine Larva could come back from that. Last and Larva both have 2 bases and then Last drops m&m to Larvas main to kill ton of drones (I count about 12-15). I was expecting him to gg straight up. I think Larva has forgot how to lose ZvT. What a beast! | ||

Who is the other person playing on his stream, why are they tag-teaming with the other person sleeping in the background, and where are they streaming from? A basement? | ||

Not sure what they are doing though, taking turns practicing for ASL quals? Ah yes, I recognize him now. Thanks for the info. | ||
