Well, that game between Destiny and Mana has definately shown how broken mass muta is in PvZ. There is like a magic number of mutas... as soon as you reach that number as zerg you can´t lose if you dont mess up your muta control completely.
Fortunately, Blizzard has already seen this problem and is trying to change the Protoss Phoenix.... and in long-term there will be the Tempest in HotS

I can't believe that Agh pissed that game against ThorZain away.
|
So Naniwa scouted double scv going out for Thorzain and his base very early and he goes nexus first anyway? I don't know what to think.

Well, Thorzain moved an SCV out to his nat, so I think he'd tricked Naniwa into thinking he was actually going CC first.

Naniwa saw both scvs going out of Thorzain's base very early to proxy 2 raxes, Thorzain's scv low count and scouted his expansion aswell. Thorzain sent an scv to his natural to make sure there was no pylon being built. It was just a terrible game from Naniwa, and I'm surprised Thorzain still did the proxy barracks even though it was scouted. That game was just so terrible.

Ah, I only came in when Thorzain's SCV was in the nat so I didn't realize that.

I don't care how behind you get from losing the 3rd, that attack had a 0% chance of working.

Truth of the matter is Morrow is a progamer and he knows exactly how to limit his opponent's options while strengthening his own. By spending his gas on an infestor/BL army and using cheap units to deny expansions he forced Sase to get aggressive with his army, leaving himself open to more counterpressure when his army was in the middle of the map. And since Sase was behind the entire game he couldn't afford the cutesy little harass you're suggesting. Blink stalkers are not cheap. Exactly bro. SaSe didn't wall off his third properly and Morrow abused this fact to his advantage. If he had walled off with proper defenses then there would have been only one location SaSe would have had to place his army to defend all three of his bases. Three base toss is generally sufficient to amass a powerful deathball army to counter infestor/bl. No weak-ass roach/ling runbys, broodlords get flushed, and SaSe shows why he is Quantic's true ace. You use 'if' a lot. Morrow outplayed SaSe. That's really all there was to it. I'm suggesting that had there been adequate defense for the 3rd, SaSe would have been heavily favored to win. Morrow's ZvP didn't seem particularly impressive.
A disappointing game.

I don't think Sase was gonna win that without a mothership. Too many brood lords, simply not an approachable army. I don't think he even had a stargate yet
