StarCraft 2: CRAZY ZERG CHEESES! (Bly vs Neeb)

An awesome best-of-3 series between Bly and Neeb in StarCraft 2. In this Zerg versus Protoss we see Bly going for a variety of Zerg cheese and Zerg rushes, constantly trying to end the game by getting units on his opponent's side of the map as fast as possible. Especially the final game of this series is an amazing match, as it ends with a base race where both players are trying to destroy the opponent's structures.

This has got to be one of the most gut wrenching games I have ever seen. Both players lost because of a quarter of a second's difference.

[@NateofDrake]

Well technically not 'both'.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

@@NateofDrake Nah, he's sort of right, they both lost at least one match by a tiny margin but to be fair, neeb was a full 1.8 seconds coming!

Incredible matches! I really respect Bly's method. You can see how this works well as a 3 game strategy to force you opponent to play in a way you can anticipate and counter. I was really rooting for him, but Neeb did very well to survive this.

[@Vintagegaston]

This just reminds me of an April fools video you should do. Where you don’t say either player’s name or units. You just go “oh oh OH” “He did it” “oh boy” etc. for like a short game, just no helpful commentary

[@jackknoerdel3318]

Lowko: oh would you look at that zerglings in the main and the natural

[@figuemiraisinremi6036]

actually Neeb got himself 208 minerals, enough to build 2 extractors or 2 pilons while attacking the zerg base that Bly would have built at the end so I think the situation was better than just a draw or loss situation for him. This was obviously a really good game to watch ! Thx lowko

[@Galahad54]

Bly could have dropped 10 extractors and a hatch, then cancel and run, rinse and repeat. Might lose, but Neeb had no Nexus and under 400 minerals. Plus, Bly could have gone all Florencio 4 corners (well, 3 corners) and just one dropper lord for endgame can do wonders.

[@beggedele]

ohh Bly... how I wish you would have put down the hatchery!! I wanted to see this game even more drawn out!!!

Did not you noticed how once scouted, it is game?

[@Kkylon]

So this last match was impressive. I think Bly got frazzled by his last hatch being scouted. He had a lot of protoss structures to kill and Neeb managed to stress Bly's multitasking. Also the "dirty cheeser" shouldn't win!! ;) I was a little disappointed that Bly sidnt go for a macro game that whole series.

[@daethalion1725]

Wow, Lowko cast a series without commenting on the Samwise portrait?

[@Purrfect_Werecat]

If bly had gotten a hatch out he could have just regrown his entire army since protoss had no way to get a nexus back, though, right? He could have focused entirelyon defending his last hatchery and getting something out to overwhelm the few remaining archons, which couldnt afford to just huddle by their shield batteries. Really unfortunate for zerg in that final match.

[@kianlong8777]

So close to 400k

[@frey3448]

I dont think Neeb wouldve had to leave any units at home. He had enough buildings that it would take too long for the mutas to kill them all, and his army wouldve had plenty of time to hunt down all the hatcheries, especially with splitting off a zealot here and there to cover more ground. I think Neeb had already won by the time Bly went mutas tbh.

[@flyingtentacle7631]

Yea, plus he had some probes ready to plop down a few more buildings on the other side of the map. He wasn't planning on defending at all.

[@davidkim5462]

[@slimbeatz4125]

심영 lots of youtubers move to LA it’s a legitimate question tho yes I’m pretty sure he is in the netherlands

[@jollygator9080]

I think that even if bly put down a hatchery the toss army would out dps the mutas, so the hatchs would still fall if bly tried to defend

[@Galahad54]

Correct. Neeb had to stay out on the map, else Bly would mine.

[@fuzzybojangles1141]

I miss the days of early mother ship cores

[@super1hero1234]

[@Josh-99]

I'm surprised that we don't see this proxy hatchery strategy being used against Protoss more often. It's not like there's much that Protoss can do about it -- they can't pump out quick, cheap Marines or Zerglings to try to destroy it; all of their units come out too slowly in the early game. Roaches and Ravagers soak a ton of damage from Stalkers and run all over Zealots; it takes too long to build up to Immortals when under pressure, and even then the Protoss has to be spot-on with their micro to keep from losing them. Let's be honest: the VAST majority of Protoss players, myself included, would have lost the second game to a Zerg with a tenth of the skills of Bly. I can't Prism-juggle Immortals like that, and I sure as heck can't orbwalk my Stalkers anywhere near as well. I definitely would have tried to kill that Hatchery too early and I wouldn't not have had the bandwidth to send a Prism across the map to make some Zealots to end the game. My best bet would have been to pop down a reactionary Forge and cannon rush the Nexus. ...Which is why so many Protoss cannon rush. It's the only strategy they have to pressure in the early game, and it has the side-effect of allowing you to build defensive static structures at home if necessary. Interestingly enough, if Florencio has been playing against Bly in these games there is a SOLID chance that his ultra-cheesy, 200IQ cannon rush strategies may have allowed him to come away with super-clean wins, just because Protoss cheese is generally stronger than Zerg cheese.

[@Galahad54]

Bly is stronger than Beastyqt, who convincingly beat Florencio in a match - something like 35-2. Until you see what a top player can do against imprecise play, it looks really good. The game changes dramatically over 6000.

[@seanclements6206]

Probably can’t afford it because he’s not making drones. He wouldn’t be spending his money on larvae as efficiently I assume. My assumption.

[@Josh-99]

They are SUPER expensive, and they don't contribute to the pressure. That's the problem with this strategy: everything needs to go into Roaches and Ravagers or your opponent's Stalkers and Immortals will quickly overwhelm you.

[@GameDogLeader21]

@@Josh-99 so lings are better then queens?

[@Galahad54]

@@GameDogLeader21 Lings for map control. Queens are great on the D, and some great cheese at lower leagues proxy (forward spines and creep as example).
