Really great games, but the third was fantastic. That's some of the nost fun in SC2 for me. It's not fun when you're completely overwhelmed and lose after one bad engagement. But the games where you ALMOST lose many times over, but manage to claw your way back and eventually win is PEAK fun, in SC2. :) Another fantastic video, my dude!

@niklosupinfoАй бұрын
Hello @uThermal. Great video as usual ! Here is a little SC2 quiz and facts. - Roaches with tunneling claws change skin (you taught me that one) - A colossus can be shoot by vikings and corrupters, so, it is a "flying unit". Considering that, can you parasetic bomb it ? - If you neural an overlord, do you get the supply from it ? - Considering a PF has a range of 6 (7 with high sec), how is it possible for a sieged siege tank (7 range) to shoot at SCVs reparing the PF (so those SCVs are at a range of 7+1 = 8). (and yes beleive me it happens and Blizzard never ever corrected that "bug". That all for today !

Second game, if you get more spines at the choke points, swarm the lings so the roaches can't fight the spines without just getting pecked to death I think is the answer. Also proxies? if you know you're just getting all in'd might as well try something cheeky
@IcariumGamingАй бұрын
That second game was mostly lost by taking the third base in that location. It allowed a choke, which decimated your army at the end. Destroy the rocks at the fourth, you normally avoid this base because of all the entrances but the wide open area benefits zergling swarms. And yes, more spines.

roaches hard counter zerglings because they have 1 armor, tanky, ranged and can stack up into a ball.

So one thing i would absolutely recommend is upgrading your units. You played a 21 minute game with only 1/1 no adrenal lings. Focusing on only 1 attacking unit and barely upgrading them. I know the armor upgrades dont help a ton against blue flame, but its still worth it to get the upgrades. Just my humble opinion.

In the second game, would it have been possible to ignore the roaches and do a base trade? I'm thinking +2atk on the lings and then when he starts his second push you run around his army. Seems he did not build as much structures as you, so with the right timing the lings would get to his base faster, and fewer structures to kill? (I'm a complete noob, so might be a stupid idea.)

I don't agree actually. If the opponent has lost but is floating buildings or doing something else to draw out their defeat, then sure. But in this case, the game genuinely wasn't lost for opponent: they were correct to hang in there. The question of this series is whether you can win with ling+infestor, not just if you can gain a large advantage.

I think the second game may have went better if you had kept pushing after killing the 3rd, either fighting those reinforcement roaches or run past and kill the mineral line in the main.

20:35, when you noticed the first loss, banneling nest, and spine crawlers, also if you have lots of rss, a macor hatch un seeedd so yo ucan tranverse your drones across to another minign spot, can give you time, enough to make an army, Dark does this alot, since most huamns will not chase the drones as z and focus thehatchery and other things ,epecialyl if there was nevera direct engagemetn nad your drones go ot hte empty 4rth whic his really simpyl a back up third, and larvaproducer, and banneling nest if built when you were worried would allow you to set up a banneling bomb on the roaches. Since lings are fast you can move the roach ball to thedesired location, and most peopel don't build overseers, this requires burrow and bannelign nest... the simplist solution would of been 5 crawlers on the ramp side wher ethe push was coming but he could of moved else where, heance defence not always effective, your queens were not effective doing the ling wrap arounds, missing about 400 points of damage, which would been a fewroches damaged, Queens helping allow you to pick off red roaches easier, as thelongs take hte melee target. You were not in a winning spot or losing spot, but there is a methodlogy that we shoudl awlays take account. Some Zerg players, build cheap builds that areffective... Get 50-60 drones.. then hold the Roach key... and never stop producing.. The first encounter was greatm and the hatch loss, but not quite enough damage, typically to snow ball against zerg if you break their ball and rally points tothe point you push in and z trickles in, at a less effective rate.. Lings would be more effective taking out smaller clusters of roach as it nullies the ball range attack as melee is one v one, verse.. 10 extra roaches attacking and not being attacked..., another interesting thing is deballing units is super effective and its not discussed or used, but burrowing your units nad unburrowing them uneath an army during a surround is really effective, as it pushes out hte units and makes more surface area for your melee units, weakening the benefits of range ballings/clustering.. meh.
