I whizzed through the first half minute at increased speed before remembering I was meant to watch that! It looked like you just didn't power drones at a certain point (above 100 supply, I think it was) when you had some other bases, he didn't either but I think you may have both had three bases at that point, either that or 3 to his 2, but basically you really wanted to be getting more at that stage. After that, you still had a similarly sized army then basically won it until you had no overlords left and his dark templar were cutting your hydras apart and following that, you just never quite had enough and couldn't deal with the combination of having to worry about maintaining detection and dodging storms while dealing with the fast zealots. Minor note - you didn't really use the adrenal glands or +1 mêlée until you had the small amount of ultras later...which you also didn't really use, so +2 missile first would have worked better. I'm too tired now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he just macro-managed a little better after the first big fight at around 105 vs 112 or so supply. If he cheated other than auto-splitting, it must have either had a small effect, or I just didn't notice him gain a ton of resources all of a sudden (I'd guess some time after that battle if so). I didn't think so though. I just thought perhaps someone should actually talk about the game, you know? ;D | ||

- Expand more. - Bring more overlords with your army. When retreating with hydras, focus down sairs on the way. - Scourge(s) kills flying units. Corsairs fly. Make more scourge with your army and spread them properly. - Lurkers. Always make lurkers. With the position outside his bridge you could've set up a strong contain which again allows you to 1) expand to more bases safely 2) attack his third/fourth and thereby force him to rush out and try to break the contain. It truly sucks to be forced into a big lurker/hydra-contain without the correct composition. - When holding outside his bridge you're giving away a good position by allowing him to sneak out his army and get a good concave. You can keep your units back with a wider spread to make storms less effective, but leave some hydras in front - they will both spot when the toss tries to move out and allow you to snipe HTs trying to storm and observers. - Send some lings to the expoes it is likely he would expand to next. If you realise a third or fourth is already up when you're still on three bases you're in for a world of trouble as they get saturated unless you can punish it fast. | ||
