Bunny's MASSIVE THOR PUSH - Starcraft 2: Solar vs. Bunny

[@damienpoblete]

Very kind of Solar to always give Bunny time to rebuild his army before re-engaging a retreating force.

[@nemou4985]

yeah he lost his possibility to push his advantage, very good engagements but too timid later

[@GotEmAll1337]

If that was NOT intention then Solar is an idiot for letting him rebuild for like 5 minutes while he had a 70 supply advantage.

[@derpsalot6853]

i think solar also maybe could have won it at the end there if he just used neurals/fungals and retreated

[@floofy5529]

@@derpsalot6853 He definitely had a fighting chance but he needed to give it his all after just doing that for the entire game. Probably too much for him and since the game didn't matter to him he just quit.

[@bassbeardiful]

If I were Bunny I would be honored that Solar respected my GSL threat enough to go all out with me in a game he didn't need to win to proceed. What a sportsman.

[@cagdas_demir_albayrak]

Damn, what a match. they literally exhausted the whole map's resources and fought to the last. Kudos to the both players for such an epic match.

there're still few hundreds of minerals left, that's literally not literally exhausting the whole map

[@joshuapaul8580]

Was a great game to watch, but I'm kind of surprised Solar gg'd when he did. He was barely down in supply and had a ton of infestors still. Would have been close either way

[@Khaim.m]

He had no drones left and Bunny was mining.

[@moileung]

Well only four workers left, and bunny has mules, but yeah if i wear bunny i should have made a raven for free energy and if im solar i would have made a couple of swarm hosts.. who has more free units win. Also didnt why solar.moved his burrowed infestor for the winfestor moment aka serral...this game is nuts...

[@SHIBBYiPANDA]

Yeah, considering neural was already on the board. If he could neural the thors that’d be niiice.

maybe he was just being nice, since he didn’t need to win this game to proceed anyways.

[@JauntyCreates]

It all started with that miracle grenade on the Queen to snipe the first tumour and you didn't show it?!?! 😜

Solar probably still had the win with the remaining infestors, but either didn't see how close it was or gave a gentlemen gg

Трындец, вот это качели. Отличный матч по драматургии!

I wonder if Solar just gg out of courtesy since he didn’t have to win to proceed? It looked to me like he had a good shot at winning in the end.

I quite upset at Solar not pushing his advantage and allowing Bunny to rebuild twice. I get Terran would be better on defensive and he needed energy, but twice he more way more army.

[@vukyLoL]

Such a nice game

[@Michaelkayslay]

Best game I've ever seen

[@chuiboy377]

Not worth trying to chain fungal to kill units. This isn't WoL, it takes 5 fungals over 15 seconds to kill a hellbat. Solar needed to be more efficient in the end (more queens to transfuse BLs, and the broodling trick).

@@jonasbollesser6592 well, He could have pulled workers and its still cheaper to repair them then having to replace them I guess

He had no gas left, and you need both minerals and gas (resources) to repair. Repairs aren't free.

[@tigera6]

Also, Thor outrange Viking when fighting air unit, making its so much better for them against BLord.

[@ashitaka8633]

What a great game. Both players played amazing.

[@ihabiano]

I'm not a pro... but wouldn't few vikings have made things easier for Bunny?!

[@azurblueknights]

The issue is that Corruptors shit on Vikings when combined with Fungal. Vikings have a very bad habit of clumping together no matter how well you micro them, which makes them prime targets for Fungal. Using Thors to counter the Brood Lords (with Hellbats to tank some Broodlings) was generally the right call, especially since Thors have bonus damage against Massive tagged targets (which is a tag Brood Lord has) so long as the Thor has their 250mm Punisher Cannons anti-air mode active.

[@ihabiano]

@@azurblueknights wow!

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

Probably a couple would have been very nice. As was pointed out, corrupters plus fungal destroy vikings, but just having that non blinded anti brood lord would have been significant.

[@nemou4985]

@@azurblueknights Hum, Thor normal AA doesn't have damage against massive just vs Light. The ability does, tho.

[@azurblueknights]

@@nemou4985 This is why I specifically mentioned the 250 Punisher Cannons. It's not an ability, it's just a different weapon mode just like a seige tank or liberator. It doesn't see major use seeing as about the only thing it's useful against is Brood Lords; most Protoss air power has even longer attack ranges than the Thor does.

[@badfoody]

Solar would have won if he pushed through. I doubt Bunny could have regrouped fast enough

To be honest Solar had that. He could have waited for infestor's energy and neural the thors, rekt the hellions and other remaining units and force a tie game.

EMP is pretty instant so no. Also, warp prism has a long pick up range. What you are supposed to do as zerg is to split your infestors so that they can't all get EMP'd at once.

It is very strong but so is infestor broodlord viper. There are tons of potential damage for both unit comps and also a lot of skilled required to play both. Doesn't need patch, TvZ continues to be one of the most fun matchups in the game

[@mauro_weee]

Actually I just saw a game of Dark, he made 30broods and did the brooding trick where he spawns lots of then attacking a creep tumor and sends in. That's the only way of beating it. But still for everyone else who isn't Serral, Reynor and Dark at the moment ZvT is just stupid. This game is a clear example where solar where making all the right moves to transition into the late game without too large of a gap in the resources lost, and still lost, even tho he controlled the entire early to mid game. So it really feels at the moment that it's not enough to be "ahead" in ZvT you gotta be shitting on the terrains face to be consider ahead

[@Pzychosis]

@SilverStar50 bro, one fight he literally blanketed the entire Thor army in blinding cloud while BLs were attacking AND he neureled two thors, and he STILL LOST that fight. Mech ghost is INSANELY broken
