12:20 he was supply blocked until 10 seconds before the push.

And he had no hydras in production before that supply block.

He would do it if day had more than 24h. He works tirelesly on Starcraft for 20 years and 3 channels, fullstream and a Family!

[@Picaroon9]

ZeloT was at 74/75 whne BishOp killed the overlord, but ZeloT didn't have one in queue, so he was going to be supply blocked no matter what, though he could sacrifice a muta or two to free up supply if the Overlord hadn't died. The Overlord finished at 10:19, but he didn't start lurkers until 10:38. The Lurker build time is 25 seconds, so theoretically the Lurkers could have been done at 10:44, but BishOp hit the natural at 10:38, so it wouldn't have mattered if ZeloT had started lurkers as soon as he was able. It is crazy that a single overlord dying at 9:50 into the game is why ZeloT lost.

[@cvasirocket1401]

He had the resources to morph some creep colonies and not wait for ovie. Just secure the tech(lurkers)I tech'd into by morphing some lurkers . All the while zerg had the info terran push coming, unless mutas did not secure victory/ considerable advantage before.

[@THAC0MANIC]

@@cvasirocket1401 that sacrifices resource gathering which furthur slows lurkers as you wont have the same number of lurkers coz you have less resources

[@JTygerAU]

He was supply blocked from 10:08 to 10:20. It is a “mistake” but the error was forced by the MM pressure. He had to micro the mutas or they were going to get slaughtered / potentially another supply block. Possible that he could have optimized and popped the lurkers on time, but the T here made it as difficult as possible to do that. He clearly knew the window was closing and played the line that would give him the best (only) chance to win.

[@TheRealLittleBIGhead]

He clearly focused too much on the micro, as he didn't start morphing them for almost 20 seconds after the supply block ended, but the marines still would've gotten there about 5 seconds too soon anyway. If he'd somehow accounted for this (and started them on time), maybe he could've sacked the expansion and morphed them up the ramp, then it would've been interesting to see where the game went from there. Just goes to show how thin margins are at the top level, like Arto said.

[@nexus3756]

[@PotatoMcWhiskey]

I love bio heavy terran styles, its always been my favourite to watch, alongside zealot+archon for protoss

[@CounterCraftz]

Obviously bishop could have guaranteed win if he went cc first and defended 6 lings with 1 rine + 5 scv, but he only won because zelot made mistakes of not getting lurker at optimal micro time.

[@Agagdhshh]

😂

[@kurobass]

I would say not losing that overlord gives Zerg an 80% win rate

[@seankrolyk5814]

also crazy that it takes 30 seconds for 2 lurkers to morph back to back when the first one takes 25

[@dangerfield6855]

Thank god you went over that finishing blow. I was getting chills when you were watching the second squad coming up against the mutas.

[@buneuocheng678]

I am surprised Bishop didn’t use the Wraith strategy for this game to encounter with the Zerg player. What a strong 8 barracks built in the game and a strong defense. Overall, a victory had been looking forward. Nice game!

[@StudioMod]

If he just stayed aggressive and didn't let them push out, it would have enabled him to push against the expansion's workers and then he COULD have kept up with the marines with mutas. You don't need AS MANY mutas to stop MM, and he was already ontop with Lurkers. Great game, though. Excellent micro and macro here.

[@FlymanMS]

Zelot learned how not to dive onto turrets and to be very annoying. Also he was probably like: “THE LURKERS DIDN’T MAKE!!!”

Holy crap this game was so sick! The extreme marine production gave more map presence which allowed for additional overlord snipe. Then lurkers couldn’t make because of the supply block! Outrageous domino effect in action. Bishop redefining the meaning of 8 rax with this one

[@chadjenkins4876]

That overlord was everything. Crazy

[@wowlightshadow]

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

11:03 kills an overlord, supply block (in game it was 09:52) An overloard was already in progress 11:08 the first hydra hatches (in game it was 10:01) but the rally is forward 11:10 lurker upgrade finishes ( in game 10:06) overlord hatches 69/75 (in game 10:19) but hydras are in the middle of the map 12:00 moves hydras inside the natural, but do not start morphing, and at this point it's already ten seconds late for the lurkers to be ready and burrowed before the marines hit (10:24) mutas go against the second group of marines (in game 10:25) and lose track of the first group of marines. marrines hit the base at (10:39 in game) Way too many actions in 30 seconds for the Z player to keep up and the pressure broke his multitasking and focus on getting the lurkers ready

I really liked watching this game! It's always nice to see Terran infantry getting the spotlight for once. I know in SC2 bio is used much more, so it's even cooler to see a rarer move like this.

[@probe420]

Felt like zelot didn't see the last 3 raxs, expecially the last 2. So in his mind he may still believe it was 5-6 rax, which may be why it felt like he was caught off guard with that last group of marines (not in his base but attacking his mutas)

[@zhivkotzonev4979]

[@Stranzua]

Soulkey is making Zerg look so OP that Terran and Protoss are going to have to throw more builds like this into the mix.

[@SoapSoapCrayon]

Artosis suggesting to "rush lurker" at 6:30. You can't really rush lurkers in this situation, you're already so far behind economically to get mutas out so that you can put some pressure on and get a third "safely", rushing lurkers here means the Terran can just build up and army and push you on any timing they want. Whether that be siege tank or some form of marine upgrade. You either need to get some damage out with mutas or delay while you shore up your economy. Yes the zerg is on 3 base, but at the time RT suggests it, he has 22 drones. If your mutas get defended you'll need multiple creep colonies and you'll be down to the teens for drones.

For reference, there was a game between Stinger and Ret i think in TSL2, which got quite a lot of attention when it was played. Stinger went 7rax M&M. Muta control was not what it is today, so Ret rushed to lurkers but Stinger hit before he could entrench himself.

[@Yamulo]

I feel like moves like this from bishop just really plays into the strengths of zealot.

[@CorrectHorseBatteryStaple472]

Seems like Zelot didn't realize how all-in he was and thought he'd be able to pull back the mutas to defend on top of the sunken? Kinda seems like he moved his mutas into the second MM group without expecting it to even be there. Maybe depends on whether he was able to tell by the number of marines streaming down the ramp how many barracks Bishop was actually on

i honestly think scbw is the best competitive game ever made, sc2 is also good and probably the second best rts to watch but still not close to the greatness of bw idk if it will ever be surpassed honestly

[@kerviuskuroshiba5120]

@@dj_koen1265 Indeed! I stopped watching SC2 long ago, but still respect it. I do not know how to explain, but imo SC2 tends to get too drawn out since the game offers many tools for the player to come back from being punished from mistakes in strategy. In Brood War, the player has to be VERY experienced and flexible to adapt to an aging gaming AI to come back. I am sure there's a lot more to talk about SC2 vs BW but this will go on for ages LOL. P.S. Do NOT get me started w/ SC2 Zerg Creep tumors. One of the most BROKEN things in Starcraft IMO. Right up next to Dark Swarm 🤣🤣🤣 P.S.S. Another example of skill in BW is when BishOp used that SCV block to that ling aggression. RT stated that most other players would not do that in order to econ 100% optimized. But then they increased the chance of GG if something goes wrong in the micro def of said lings. I give more respect to players that are flexible to adapting to situations so quick to survive and do not care about build optimizations. FLASH is a perfect example. Or that recent game "Phodin?" where the Terran kicked in the front door of Action while making Mutas and Action GG'd. This game is SO OPtimized to the point of making choices down to ONE Worker and 7 seconds. MAN I LOVE BW! LOL

[@pallytime2156]

Yead, diddo to all the comments. His supply block lasted tell 10:20 and Bishop was on his door at 10:38. Welcome to SC1BW... gg's noob. Our Hero Zerg Player needed to go lose some Mutta to make room for Lurkers. I would be curious to know at what point he realized it was GIGA Rax... if ever... but I don't think he ever scouted the 8 Rax. What I find SUPER interesting about Bishops decision Making is that he SAW he was Critically low on Rines and Rines were Targeted over SCV... and that = ++Rax and All IN. If Zealot had spread out his damage more evenly between Rines and workers... Bishop would have more Rines sure... but the ++Rax Option wouldn't be there. I WONDER if tippy top level zergs think like that. Because going after the Rines HARD is almost a "Win More" move. The idea being kill rines until they so low number Terrain dies or just can never leave there base. But if they go ++Rax Instead... and Zerg doesn't realize and swap to targeting SCV's... Terrian won't die... and they will leave there base. Conversely... if zerg had Hammered the Rines tell they low... then swiped at the SCV's a bit... Terrian would have a have a move-out timing but it should be rather weak with nothing behind it. Also I can't spell Terrian... send help. TLDR = When they on 4 Rax... then Attacking SCV's FIRST then Rines Rines Rines is likely the play. But at some point you should swing on the SCV's again rather then go after rines... specifically when the ++Rax;s are done. Yes I know most terrians go Tech there... for Vessal. Honestly Zergs are so good now Vessels arn't doing it. Need Valks or ++Rax.

Spoiler for game: It might seem odd to read this, but I think Bishop had this game even assuming Zelot could and did make the lurkers at 10:08. Zelot would have had 3 lurkers, and even according to Arty, 2 lurkers are bustable with just MM, so all three would have needed to defend the natural, leaving the 3rd and 4th wide open, and the mutas were not taking any engagement with how bruised they were.
