Pretty sure Rogue was aiming for this build from Dark. But that wasnt just pure blind risk, he can also mine from that hatch. He started to build spines as soon as he see creep from dark hatch

[@TheSanco26]

But wasn't Rogues base positioned wrong then? Or does it just look of? Plus, he brought the drones for the spinecrawlers before he even saw the creep. For pure mining more drones would have made more sense then i think. But yea you are right. He clearly knew.

[@blazethefaith]

@@TheSanco26 It was positioned off so it wouldn't be in vision, The mining is more of a bonus than the purpose of it, but it also allows him to play it out. He was banking on Dark taking the gold first. If Dark takes that base first, then it put's Rogue ahead. If Dark takes his natural first, then I think the less efficient mining might even out with the gold patches. Not enough to replace a fully mining natural, but perhaps enough enough to be comparable to getting a quick 3rd. I think the only way Dark would come out on top with that opening from Rogue is if he spotted the hatch before putting his down so he could counter with a more aggressive opener, or if he took Rogue's gold base.

[@TheSanco26]

@@blazethefaith Makes sense. What an awesome game.

[@3laserbeam3]

@@TheSanco26 If Dark turns out to not be there, he could cancel the spines and just mine instead. If Dark is there he ends up with faster spines.

[@fortunadodesperado]

I think that Rogue possibly didn't know Dark was going for that gold base. He knew that if he could get a hatch up with two spines at his opponents gold base, it would be worth it no matter what. And he definitely made money on it.

@@eelcohoogendoorn8044 There's no moral victor, it's a game and he lost. If Rogue didn't have such a massive economy advantage and his victory wasn't riding on containing Dark, he wouldn't be making such agressive trades. Dark was "winning" the battles but because he lost the larger-scale strategy so early on, he needed to do more than just trade efficiently, he needed to wipe out Rogue's army by some miracle and then kill the instant remax as well, and then establish some economy.

3:49 The first time I've ever seen a Transfusion used on a Baneling.

[@AFlameofVengance]

Right at 0:23 Rogue can see the creep on the other side of the gold. He knows that Dark already has a hatch completed before him, but he doesn't know anything else, so he immediately starts up two spines on the backside of his hatch in a safe area because he doesn't know if Dark has preemptively started up spines. He knows if Dark is looking, then Dark will know he has a hatch there because of his creep. It wasn't a blind outplay, it was a calculated play to try and win the contested gold from what he could see at the moment.

[@ivanlagrossemoule]

Yeah the zerglings were there to scout and see how much Dark had invested already.

Has to be one of the best games ever. Reminds me of darkest dungeon quote. " Great is the blade that cuts on it's own." Dark stood no chance, the more he struggled the more he bled out and eventually he fell under his own consumption.

[@true_xander]

[@artyomarty391]

I'll explain why Rogue did such a play. He built the spines without scouting because he knew that regardless whether Dark will make a hatch on the other side, he will need defenses whether or not he scouted would be irrelevent

[@troygarrison1755]

The thing is it was still a massive risk because he wasted an expansion. Sure he could mine, but not effectively nor would he have had gases. After that he invested into defense which could mean his main and natural would have been exposed. This only worked because Dark was greedy. If Dark played standard then Rogue would have been way way way behind.

Did rogue see the gold hatch or did he blind counter dark?

[@jeroenstolp9889]

It was a hedge play. Him making the hatchery there could have 2 purposes. If Dark has a hatch there, you make spines and "blind counter". If he doesn't, you just start mining there yourself and you have an advantage that way. It works either way. But he made the spine crawlers once he saw the creep from Dark's hatch.

[@Sound_Tech]

@@jeroenstolp9889 Agreed, the spines were definitely a response to the hatch creep

[@simeonpolet1307]

@@Sound_Tech why would he have brought 2 drones if not to make spines?

@@simeonpolet1307 If he didn't need spines, then they are transfers to get mining earlier. As mentioned, it's a hedged bet.

@@simeonpolet1307 Those 2 drones can start mining if Dark didn't have a hatch right there. It's simple. Gold base vs a player without it is giving a lot of advantages in roach play.

[@lmeza1983]

Noobs: Zerg OP (never play as Zerg) Reality: you have never in a trillion years felt the pain and anxiety that SC really is until you have a ZvZ that makes it to the late game with constant engagements where every single unit matters, just like that bane transfuse here. Being that said I hate playing as Zerg since I always feel in disadvantage, prefer to stick to Terran and Protoss but firmly believe Terran is way too good for their cost in the early and mid game. In other words they are OP that's why is the most played race.

[@Necroneer]

This was a weird Z v Z

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

Maybe rogue shouldnot play agressive after he killed the hatchery..

[@Valkires1]

One thing that always confuses me when it's a roach Is ravenger game It's why the other person doesn't build mutas. I'm not a pro but it just seems like a glaring solution that people rarely take.

[@a9302c]

If your opponent is already heavy on roaches, mutas can't kill them fast enough before you can amass enough mutas because each roach is far cheaper and hardier than each muta, so your opponent can simply bypass and catch your bases directly. Plus, with just a few mutas early on, they can easily be countered with a few spores and queens. Players usually have to wait till they amass a large enough bank to make a mass rapid transition to mutas to try to catch their opponent offguard.

[@AltoStratusX1]

I'm not expert but a spire is 200/200 and takes 70 seconds to build. A roach is 19 seconds and 75/25. The vespine is like 8 roaches and time involved is like 3 roaches and thats before the mutas can even be built. At 100/100 for 24 seconds those mutalisks are going to be expensive in addition to lengthy building time to add to your army in significant enough numbers to damage the roaches in combat. Theres gonna be a distinct window while you tech where you are going going be at a roach disadvantage in the fight even if a handful of mutas get out in time they won't donslenough damage to really change the outcome. The damage output from the mutas won't be enough and you'll lose the ground battle without being able to kill the roach ravager ball before it takes objectives. In addition if the enemy falls back to his queens he now knows your comp, has presumably won a battle/taken an objective putting you back and now can take his lead and run it out into his own tech countering your mutas. If you do win the battle again you cannot push your advantage with mutas if he has his queens and/or spores so IMO its really not a great strategy IF your opponent is on the ball. If he doesn't scout it or take advantage and plays too passive yea definitely but I wouldn't suggest playing around the opponent making lots of mistakes. Again I haven't played tons since WoL lol so I could be wrong.

[@Maleficarum999]

Answer is pretty simple, roach/ravager is gas heavy composition while Mutas are gas heavy too, you simply can't possibly have enough gas to make mass Mutas.

[@gabapc]

Basically its correct to say that roaches are a counter to muta play. Like you could say that drones are a counter to phoenix
