Today's NEW strategy (clickbait explanation): Full info under "read more" to avoid spoilers, but this style reminded me of the American Hero Neeb when he was dominating Zerg with his aggressive opener into macro Protoss vs Zerg! MaNa's One Two Punch - working title: Void Ray scouting denial into a very quick 3 base Chargelot timing with +1 (helps a ton against Ling/Roach). Followed up with 2+ Robo Immortal to counter the inevitable Roaches while aggressively expanding. Still has options to go Phoenix or Storm (or maybe Collosi) if Zerg ends up heading for Mutas or Hydra instead. I don't think it will work everytime, but obviously is super strong against Zergs who are almost trained to be dealing with Blink or Archon timings instead of the quick chargelots. Reynor gets bamboozled by MaNa's "greed" without realizing he's building an attack behind it! Thanks for watching, make sure to smash the like button and we will feed Jimmy sometime next week!

Reynor kinda threw those two games, especially the last one where the last fight he lost his 13 clumped together Lurkers that were all alone without any protection. And another big fight earlier when he tried to end the game and 50 lings got static fielded, plus fighting through a narrow point into a concave. Oh well shit happens I guess

Tryna avoid spoilers with this comment, so ill be a bit vague. Not to detract from the winner of game 3, who played excellently, but I think a lot of that win at the end was more the other player snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. A couple of micro errors led to the loss of the most vital chunk of the army, not using a buffer for the long ranged units, not making proper use of the spellcasters. In all fairness, there was a lot of shit going on, so he had reason to be distracted, trying to micro across effectively 4 bases simultaneously. So props to the attacker for excellent splitting of units to hit multiple locations and chase down scattered army elements. Also excellent decision making, recognizing that he was in a position to win after catching that big chunk, and knowing he didn't really have the luxury of backing off. It was a gamble to press the attack, since if his opponent pulled it together the game would immediately end, but he clearly knew it was do-or-die at that point.

@@coololi07 he isn't experimenting. He just isnt good. He won because of imba mid game bane spam that pinned protoss to 3-4 bases while zerg could easily take 5-6. His late game play is atrocious and that is why he cries that toss is imba all the time. He isn't close to serral level. and he still plays zerg which is the strongest race by far even with all the zerfs.
