“Wtf. Protoss op.” While floating 5k resources

[@donhartfield]

My rush failed, so instead of spending 5K resources on Mutas and an army to rush his rebuild, he just sits and does absolutely nothing while Protoss is losing his mind trying to power-out units and buildings with the Nexus.

How could he let the toss rebuild while toss had no army just need to check all expo and don’t let him expend

[@tylerjohnson4830]

13:39 Out of the 160 or so apm he's got right now, at least the 120 had gotten to the Spine Crawlers I died lmao

[@nekrosis4431]

That protoss has potential. Everything he did, he did it badly and he did it slow, but he DID do THE RIGHT things. He did the bare minimum of micro with his expensive units. He built workers, he defended fine, he attacked fine, he tried to counter the opponent. If he plays more, he'll climb the ladder real fast.

[@gunkanjima3408]

Yes, he’ll climb his way out of dirt league and into wood league

[@JinFreeks]

@7:20 - Lowko: "I think it's time to uproot all the Spines at once, plant them next to the nexus, attack with the Roaches and transfuse with the Queen." Ilion: "So, how do you uproot more than one Spine at a time? How do you avoid them getting shot one by one while they move forward individually? Also, he has Cannons so my Roaches will get shot at! And what in the name of Jebus is a trans fuse? Sounds like a Terran upgrade. Silly Lowko, I'm playing Zerg. You see, your plant would never work!"

[@hitlord]

Man, what a universal reaction to that "protos op" from Illion, jesus. I legit cried from laughter. And these kinds of games are why you cast Silver from time to time.

[@aaronbrucker966]

i really wish lowko harstem and the rest would do more coverage of matches like this on the lower levels. Watching the pros go at it is fun and all, but watching low level matchs are a riot, and far more entertaining, along with being alot more informative as you can actually see what bad plays look like, where as in the pro matches, if you see a bad play, its still a great play compared to what a lot of the lower levels do.

[@MartyLeonXIIIGaming]

You're an extremely amazing caster man, I mean to make this silver game that entertaining. I'm gonna submit my own, I would love to see you cast my game lol

[@Noaxsette]

It was a lot better than it should because I read the comments where the zerg said "protoss op" so I knew the tables would turn one way or another hahaha

[@tarrker]

I have a replay that I wish I'd saved. Did a ling rush that got thwarted by early siege tanks. Ten minutes later I won through sheer determination and because my opponent refused to build a single air unit. LoL :)

"protos [sic] op" made me laugh so hard, professional comedians pale in comparison.

[@Damaged7]

There isn't a problem you can't solve with some photon cannons. If the going gets tough, put them in a crescent moon and you're golden.

[@Cowclops]

Easy to armchair quarterback a silver game as a plat but I still like to frame stuff like this as "even if I was bad at splitting my attention, even if i was bad at micro, even if I didn't know when to expand..." all the zerg had to do was start cranking out 4 queens and piles of hydras and then a-moved. Seems like his biggest issue was NOT a-moving because he'd walk past stuff without shooting at it while also taking damage, like giving away half your hitpoints for free while doing no damage. I guess the silver lining is it would be pretty easy for him to improve his play - spend your money, and know when to a-move (which is very close to always when it comes to zerg, especially at this level).

[@user-281]

[@travisb2842]

"Protos OP". That got me.

[@a_lexine]

honestly? that protoss wasn't half bad. sure he got absolutely ruined initially, but instead of panicking and giving up, he took his probes, went ahead and rebuilt in an unexpected spot, defended like a champ, didn't wait for the protoss death ball to build up but instead did genuinely good smaller attacks which in the end won him the game, he knows what upgrades are, he micro'd a bit, and he was constantly producing, or at least trying to, and he didn't even get cocky once he got a lot of void rays but instead was fully prepared to go carriers and tempests if his void rays were pushed back, he had the confidence that the void rays will clean up, sure, *_but he had a backup plan._* good going, tricks.

[@tdl1315]

Love how the zerg player made a fuck ton of spore crawlers in its oponent's main even tho there was no starport or air protoss units

[@shanelandry9814]

Protoss discovered void rays and now sits in platinum with every other protoss player.

As a Platinum Zerg player who likes to 12 pool, I find it harder to rush a Protoss who builds close to their Nexus because the probes are more easily able to defend the pylon.
