Biggest bluff of the century is Scarlet pretending she has a hidden corrupter by saying "if i cant kill the planetarys we will draw"

[@NetoZ92]

I think this is correct. She mined the gas as well at the very end, might be to make Maru believe she had mined JUST enough for 1 corruptor.

but Maru could still have forced a draw by hugging the planetary with Viking rather than doing a kamikaze on broodlords.

[@darkestaxe3415]

Yes he can float his buildings... but queens can shoot up. Also, floating buildings doesn't count if your army is dead, as the tournament still considers it a victory/loss if the buildings can't land safely. The only real question left was whether Scarlet's army would still be stronger after destroying the planetary. A corrupter would be nice but not necessary, a ghost has a limited amount of energy for cloaking and that many queens can transfuse while waiting for it to decloak.

[@TheGunderian]

He should have floated to 8 compass headings all but one building, then taken a nap Let the Zerg feel victorious by killing 6 floaters, then swoop and kill the units that can shoot up... then return to his nap

[@Ketroc]

The problem with mass nuking late game is that nukes are almost always cost inefficient as they cost 100gas but average killing close to 0gas per nuke. They provide great tempo, but late game often is about attrition not tempo.

[@VortexMagus]

In all fairness, before he started dropping a billion nukes, Scarlett had control of 70% of the map, three times his bank, and twice his income, and was about to take over the last mining base. He took that last mining base for himself, broke most of her map control, and ate up a huge portion of her bank and income. I think it was pretty good play even if each individual nuke didn't always get perfect value.

[@Lappmogel]

After the map was mined out he could've thrown down some mules to repair his medevacs/vikings instead of burning through all those resources to build new ones at around 20 minutes. He could've probably sniped scarlets air units, backed up into his static defenses, repair and repeat and win through attrition. He also has a lot of commands so just throwing down mules as meat shields in front of his army would have been fun to see. Instead he just burned through resources like crazy the whole game, dropping nukes on 10 buildings etc. Cool game though

So I am playing Terran, my worst race, just so I could nuke lines. I won, amazingly. Never beat him again. But this battle reminds me of that, I must have used 15 nukes that game, and pretty much only marine, medic, vulture (to spider mine my entrances). Then we played Evolves, god I loved Evolves, I was so freaking good at that. And footmen frenzy and marine arena.

[@turatimauro98]

To be fair that ending crushed my feelings, he could have sacrificed some ghosts to emp the queens and avoud transfuse. Those overlords were too many, you can't kill them if they sit over queens. If the overlords go out the ghosts can slowly snipe from two miles, and those lings will eventually end and ghosts walk away without any possibility to be killed since snipe has range and you can walk off detection. But everyone would have made that mistake, 1 hour game against one of the better zergs of the planet is heavy mental pressure even for Maru

[@volocornee]

Can anyone explain why Scarlett didn't go all-in at 35 minutes mark? She had 20k minerals, 6k gas and 200 supply limit. Trade all units, max out with roach-hydra-zergling instantly from all bases, push again, repeat.

[@Rath_9]

Why is scarlet so scared with a bank like that? When the nukes started she could have easily fully remaxed and quickly which is what Zerg is known for. Sure it would be a bad trade but if she hit hard enough her quick counter attack may have been enough to win her the game rather than slowly bleeding to death for an hour

[@Caipi2070]

I remember a game, Snute vs Byun on Catalyst (?), where Snute tried exactly this, before the terran had a big bank up. He remaxed and just barely was able to win the game. So I think this is very risky, and only works, when the terran has not a bank up.

[@Rath_9]

Caipi2070 I agree it’s still extremely risky however the alternative ends up being a big trade anyways only you have less resources, Maru had more static defense and more resources.
