science vessel FTW i was rooting for savior but damn i’ve never seen that many irradiates in a single games. Savior is obviously a god especially compared to me but i think he shouldn’t have been so aggressive for as long as he was regardless of how awesome his micro on the mutalisks were he knew terran was gonna go for the big push pretty soon so maybe making a spawning pool before hatchery would’ve been better since he was so aggressive early on.

EDIT2: What happened to boxer i was hoping he would return with some new 1337 play to rape everyone:sad:
Unless you absolutely rape SCVs with your ling harass, you are way behind if you go pool before hatch. Maybe if you kill a few SCVs and keep your lings alive, you might be able to expand to make up for it… but if they hold off the rush without taking much damage, and if they kill your lings… then you not only have fewer lings to hold off the MnM push, but you also have that much less in the way of minerals to put up sunkens or get lair/mutas. Just an overall crappy way to open if the Terran player is ready for it and defends it.
ALSO with only 1 hatch, you only have 3 larva at most at any given moment. You need larva to get drones to mine/get gas or get buildings, you need larva to produce your lings, etc. etc.
Whereas 12hatch 11pool at least means you have two hatches’ worth of larva to work with, which means you aren’t gimped if/when your initial ling harass dies. Also means you’re a bit better set to take your expo. Just a better build, since it’s very rare that your early ling attack will win right off the bat (unless you 5pool or they got too greedy expanding early and you have close positions)
^^It looked like his scv’s at least half of them were done for in the first 3 minutes but i didn’t realize how hard it is to macro when u overextend the way savior did, and i thought he had enough zergs left alive coupled with what he was making to go for the rush had he was doing a pretty good harass job. Your right but IMO didn’t look like flash had any idea wtf was going on with the initial rush but rather he just adapted really well while still keeping his scv’s in it.
edit: oh shit much stormed the shit outta dong and microed his goons really well GG much is 3-0:rock:
oh noes OSL curse I guess Jaedong is finished ;(
lawlz wtf is up with Jaedong playing super overconfident lately, dude needs to chill out with the quick hives and super-eco/low-unit builds and bring back the crazy lair-tech Jaedong.
-edit-
LOL Jaedong vs. Flash in Ro8 for MSL, OSL, and GSI??? DESTINY MATCH
a bit sad that Boxer waited for a match that doesn’t matter to pull that out, but even if I was Boxer I wouldn’t want to face the Tornado Terran with that much money on him
what would have been even more awesome is if Nada was like “everybody else is proxying Boxer let me do that also” and then it was proxy 2fac vs proxy 2fac
and I suppose nobody wants to go 3-0 but then again everybody would rather advance
really surprised to not see a single dropship from Boxer, and not a single proxy till that game… wtf bizarroooooooo Starcraft
anyhow I really want Hwasin to come out of group C, and then I guess stork? I don’t care too much for free and Iris may be the other CJ Terran but he’s not exactly looking like an OSL runner-up these days.
