Kimmo's Notes: This run in particular was a mighty struggle for me to solve. Without the enhancements of P2, Swarm Hosts are nearly not as good especially without the quality I covet the most - faster locust spawn.
When looking at other runs, I knew what had to work: Ravagers. But it wasn't working out. And the enemy A.I is extremely inconsistent on this map. Part of my strategy involves planning around how enemies are going to move. But if they move nearly every single time, it won't work. I've had several runs stall which included a number of heartbreaking ends.
After I became discouraged, I vented to my friend Catsicle. He got curious after hearing my frustrations and decided to try this out for himself. He managed to get a success in a couple of tries with Abathur P1 and he showed me how in the replay and his advice. He also gave me a lot of encouragement as well.
I picked up on a strategy to delay my expansion in favor of more early-game units since expanding fast doesn't allow you your army right away. This allowed me to be more aggressive on the map and put nests at the spawn points to heavily enemies that spawn before I engage them.
After watching Catsicle's replay, this run was my very first time trying it. Thank you so much, Cat. You saved me from pulling more hair out over this.
