Part 1 is private and only viewable on your page.

TLO didnt harras at all, the only agression he took was expanding and never hurting the terran with it, he used all his income to defend constantly. And as for the Marauders vs Ultralisks, yes in a straight matchup the marauders win but the fungal growth played a big part aswell as the ling surround.

@Fiishylol Trying to figure out whats going wrong and seems like theres more people having the same problem on the videos they upload. I changed it to public 10 times already and it shows as public but then when i click on the video it says its private. If youtube doesnt fix it i'll have to upload it again

[xHydrax]

Getting ready for the incoming bash and debate, let me just set my thought process while i was shoutcasting so you all can rip it apart:

MMM balls (specially marauder heavy) are effective agaisnt small numbers of Ultralisks if stimmed and properly microed so they dont get surrounded. On this match situation the Ultras were even backed up by roaches and infestors.

Fire away tell me what you think.

@Barbadian2k8

For zerg, extra hatcheries can always be used to increase your unit production. You don't want your worker count to supply block you and you can always move the drones from a mined-out location to one of the new bases. After 2 expos, esp. if one's high-yield, I wouldn't build drones to saturate a fourth mineral field. Terrans can always recycle their CCs but toss and zerg have to make excess expos before they need them to save time later.

@xHydrax

It seems like the DPS of MMM is high enough it can counter any other unit mix. Whenever there's a contest of "who can destroy the base the fastest" MMM will win.

Ultralisks, so soft and squishy...

so unfair. :(

[Giriath1]

I'm thinking TLO should have transitioned into a few Brood Lords or used baneling drops to get rid of the tanks and/or soften up the MMM ball to be cleaned up by his roaches and infestors.

[JPhish]

@xHydrax i'm thinking that ultralisks are too weak

What the...this vid is not html5 anymore...guess iPad users can't watch it now..sigh

@linenlines Well tlo just loves infestor play no matter what. Think its his way to force creativity and cuteness into a race that just doesn't support it too well. I love my zerg though, For the Swarm!

But baneling nest so late! I know drewbie wasn't bioheavy until late but come on, its always a good idea zvt

[standupguygt]

@standupguygt This was why drewbie did the hellion drop on the main. At best he could get some crazy worker harass, at the worst he could split tlo's army(what happened).

and early expanding early is preparing for the long game, not short game. Idk if you just said that wrong by mistake. You also didn't mention that he was transitioning from mech to bio or the attacks that took out tlo's 4th and production buildings (which is why you couldn't find the infestation pit, it was being rebuilt.

[standupguygt]

You're getting much better at commentating but I think you would benefit from watching the gsl. Artosis has a good grasp on the game while tasteless does pretty well on watching the minimap and focusing on where the most important action is.

Run through the replay before doing the commentary and make sure you at least attempt to find a reason that players do what they do. A big issue was the drops. Extra mobility and splitting tlo's army won the match for drewbie.

[thoeezheeah]

i think late game zerg is either ultra or bl. if what you've chosen doesn't work for whatever reason, be prepared to lose and most likely be rolled
