[@BlyOnFire]

We both did ton of mistakes, but this kind of game challenge ur adaptation on a fly while u have no time to think, non of us played game like that but i hope there gonna be more games like that on tournaments bcz it's rly fun to watch(even tho i played it)

[@vir042]

Its always easy to see the mistakes after but having the ingenuity to create this situation is what requires real skill and intelligence so I thank you for a great game. Easily one of the best games this year. To bad you cant win extra money for crowd excitement like in mma. Knockout of the night bonus! Fight of the night bonus! Cheese of the night bonus! Lets all hope for more creative stuff in the future! SC2 is in a real good state right now with lots of exciting new strategies (other than the immortal). Feels like a moment in meta where creative play really can pay off some times.

[@Wrathinside]

Tbh it felt quite weird. A ZERG that has access to an entire map... and who hasn't secured any source of extra income or researched anything besides tier 1... or whatever it's called - units? I mean... he fought a phoenixes, DTs, prisms and whatnot with... queens, lings and spines. That's it. It's both the most heroic use of the cheap units and also the dumbest. Because somehow a single base could out-develop and outbuild a person, who had map control for over half of the game. He could even just prism down one probe and start expanding, fully knowing that Bly would have no answer to that. He made the choice of only using the existing units...

[@rainman4905]

@@Wrathinside with what money? youre talking about looking back at the game and changing a decision. in the heat of the moment where you could die at any second, trying to get an expo up would mean not enough money to defend and you lose. it was a weird game in an amazing and wonderful way. games like this dont happen often at the pro level, words dont do this justice

Must be very exciting in its own way despite not understanding some things :) the casters do a decent job of explaining although some don't cater to 'new player' knowledge enough I think. SC is almost like a language I bet it seems crazy complicated to new players sometimes.

[@deadlymixx]

Lmao same.

[@Whitecroc]

The Zerg player did an all-in rush, to the point of hamstringing their own economy, and the Protoss player only *just* managed to hang on by clever use of defensive mechanics. At the end of the game, both players were completely starved for resources because neither had access to an expansion (the white semicircles on the minimap) that they could afford to use because every single unit of mineral went to military units.

[@justinsnider9772]

Me either not a clue, but it was entertaining none the less.

Thanks SC2HL for bringing this. Didn't watch SC2 for a long time, but your highlights brought back the attention. That play of Neeb, tricking the base race was genius. Maybe a 1 out of 1000 or even 10k games. GG to both and the casters.

[@clementpontier3828]

I remember when I started playing SCII, there was this small tournament called the GameCreds cup. Prize for winning it was 100 bucks, yet every big player would be there every week. Bly won it once and was an absolute noname at the time. He crushed Dimaga, one of the best zerg players at the time, in ZvZ, 3/0. 3 cheese strats. The balls it took to pull that off made me support the guy instantly... I'm not surprised he took part in the greatest SC match ever after witnessing that :')

You know what would’ve been great, if Neeb elavatored his probes at the end to nine mins from outside then elevator them back in to make more units

Kyle Calindas I was thinking that too

[@marcinkrocki8114]

It would be a lot of effort and attention into very little minerals

[@KCal25]

Marcin Krocki but he can mine and Bly can’t, at that point I’m pretty sure it’d be worth it

[@danlorett2184]

@@KCal25 Disagree. All Neeb had to do at that point was not lose the warp prism and not epically screw up the micro while doing damage to Bly's spines/queens and it was over. Neeb wouldn't want to risk losing an Archon because his Warp Prism was out of position just so he could make maybe 2 units in a couple minutes. Amazing game - honestly about 90% of pro players would have dipped after the Nexus at the natural went down but Neeb made several sick plays (killing the natural/drones, Prism, DTs and finally trapping the queens with shields) that allowed him to claw it back.

[@davidandersson7642]

I tend to use a lot of strategies like Bly which often result in scrappy base trades. I've found if you're going to follow up with a natural, you might as well pick a different base. If Bly expanded at 6 oclock instead of going for his natural, he wins.

Warp prism in the right hands is one of the best units in sc2, and this game proves me right.

Allows the toss player to bring damaged units to the back of the army. If he losses the warp prism, there could be a chance that queen heal + spines and a good surround will win vs neebs' army.

[@greatbrandini3967]

Zerg definitely should've set up another base or two while Protoss was cornered.

[@wicketman2339]

Bly never got over 160 minerals, was using everything just to keep Neeb pinned.

[@danlorett2184]

The problem is that Zerg needs to be at least +1 base vs Protoss early, and past midgame more like +2 bases to win. Bly never had Neeb far enough behind that he could just stop pressuring to build eco - if he had tried to switch he likely would have just ended up getting counterattacked after Neeb cleans up his unsupported all in or he would have just ended up basically on even (at best) economical terms with a Protoss - that's never a winning scenario for Zerg. He was also behind in tech which is a huge problem for ZvP - you really need those tech units like infestors/corruptors/ravagers to deal with post CC units from Protoss.

ive actually seen that a few times in pro games, it was awesome

[@Rath_9]

I thought the same thing just secure your ramp with units long distance mine even if it’s with two probs and an archon, Zerg can never afford to split his army. If he over splits his buildings are done and if he undersplits a surprise archon in the prism wins the game. Would have taken a while but really it was a slightly safer battle of attrition that he could afford to play

[@someguyonyt9270]

That's taxing on APM though, since he's in the defensive.
