probably because beating byun in the late game means matching his micro, and really the only person who can do that is serral. If you let byun get to 200 supply, he'll happily turn 150 of that into bio just to split it against you

The map is underwater-themed. So the Ravager is technically floating to the surface. It's intentional. Check the queen at 32:11 and the pieces of the destroyed hatchery.

[@kennytennyson4485]

33:56 ByuN starting Armor before Attack is usually a mistake of him hitting Armor first when upgrading and not having enough for Attack. He considers this a mistake and makes it quite a lot for the past 2 years actually.

[@MrCreed145]

Surprised Scarlett didn't immediately start a bane nest at 3:20 I've said it before and ill say it again, there is no way having a couple zoning spores even three or four at the edges of main and natural are not worth it. Everyone always loses to the medivac jumping units up and down cliff but they keep not building any spores or enough spores to actually hard stop medivacs. She started to catch on though in that second game. The amount of games I watch Byun win by medivacs hitting the main, back to third, into main, back to third etc. is becoming impractical.

[@jonsolo32]

Shopify Rebellion is my favorite team.

[@Erati243]

I am no pro, I am not even a good player! However... I don't understand why ALL zerg will consistently run their entire army towards a marine medivac army lose 10 army supply than turn and run away losing another 10 army supply all the while knowing they have to engage and than 7 seconds later re engage with no new additions and down 20 supply they coulda just continued the initial contact with...

[@vanyel_etc8695]

because you'd rather be down 20 supply and zone out until your good units/upgrades come online than lose 100 supply right before 2/2 is done. Strategy is a balancing act between the decision to act and the decision to wait. Scarlett was incredibly close to losing late into game 2 when she begun her transition into ultras, her goal wasn't to beat the army with hers (because she would never win that fight), her goal was to wait til the ultras came out. Despite her being down 40 supply at 37:00 , she had bought herself enough time by zoning out byun as he chewed on her armies (instead of her bases), and once the ultras were out they evened the playing field dramatically. He is actually still up 30 supply while himself running away because a bio ball just doesn't win. The ultras ate the micro, they ate the widow mines, and they ate the marines. But NONE of that would have been possible if scarlett tried to go toe-to-toe against byun's marines. She sacrificed 50+ supply over that minute to transition into ultras, and those ultras proceeded to win the game.

[@vanyel_etc8695]

to add to this, if you pay attention at 37:30, byun scans for a fifth base TWICE. He was CONVINCED that scarlett would be broke, and she pretty much was, but because she spent so long zoning out on her one mining base instead of taking a proper fight, she had enough for the transition. the foresight from scarlett to trust her ultras while also not risking an expansion getting shut down (which byun 100% would have done if he saw one) meant that she only had to fight on one front, which, to be honest, is incredible. Props to scarlett, and ggs to both players.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

It's important to remember that THAT fight isn't the only thing that's happening. the macro-machine is still grinding away in the background. Upgrades are finishing, tech is coming online, new and better units are being built, and the more time you buy for yourself, the more time those things have to finish. You COULD commit your entire army, like you say, and maybe you might even kill his army. But if you don't, even if he lives with like 8 marines and 2 medivacs, you lose the game, because you have nothing left. Instead, you could take out half of his army, lose half of your army, make him unable to commit to a full on attack, wait for reinforcements, and then quickly replace the units you lost while you have time. People retreat in SC2 for the exact same reason real life armies retreat from battles; because they're not 100% CERTAIN they're going to win. And if you aren't, why waste the resources committing your full strength?

[@DavidGuild]

Thanks Jimmy for cutting out the boring minutes at the beginning.

[@NPCNo-xm2li]

Byun is just like the shark guy saying "hand", but instead of hand he says "marine".

[@coooolibri]

i dont understand xD playing for a long time, but recent years i went back to wc3 a little bit. one of my most fav strats to do proxy hatch, 3-4 ravager, roaches, speedlings. but i always know vs terran i have to go in around 5:30, if i go later there is just too many siege tanks out. really trying to see why the go was delayed by that much. normally she should know its already over at that point.

[@Jagonath]

I don't know. You clearly know more than I do but the thing that surprised me was the lack of AA for Scarlett. Even a couple of mutalisks seemed like they'd be magic against some of those medivacs hanging around, but maybe they're too expensive to make?

@@MrGeorgeFlorcus not here to flame, but maybe have a research for moving and fighting like the cyclone? so many units counter the tank anyway when not sieged.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Saying that there are a lot of units that counter un-sieged tanks is similar to saying that there are a lot of units that counter un-stimmed Marines. And unlike siege mode, you actually have to research stim packs. You are saying that a unit which is being used in un-optimal circumstances, for which it is not designed, doesn't generally perform well, and you are correct. That is a design choice, and it is a well balanced one at that. You are suggesting a strict buff to an already very strong unit to make it better in situations it doesn't need to be good in. You can't just unilaterally make a key unit in only 1 race strictly better and not significantly revise the other 2 races in response to compensate for the balance change. Terran Marine-tank pushes in the early and mid-game are already extremely powerful, they're capable of deciding games if done correctly. Giving tanks the ability to shoot while on retreat would dramatically increase the momentum and staying power of these already oppressive and powerful pushes. It might not matter THAT much in TvZ, since Zerg units are very fast, and light, and mostly the things that threaten retreating tanks are Zerglings, who probably don't care that much if the tank can auto-attack or not, but a retreating auto-attack with bonus damage to armored units would be down-right OPPRESSIVE to chasing blink-Stalkers, and Protoss ground in general. And that's only with consideration to Terran bio builds that have tanks in them. Consider the strength of Terran Mech builds with your suggestion, with as many as 8, 10, or even 12 tanks in an army. Way too strong. Protoss would functionally cease to exist as a race without significant compensation.

@Nathaniel DePue on the contrary usually you win by throwing away units with an economy lead to deny their economic growth or damage it. Do if you kept your units alive and you traded well enough to get their units over and over but then you die anyways because he has +1/1 or 2/2 and the whole time you can barely afford to match his army and trade properly. I've had game on Terran I lose when I lost 14k resources and they lost 40k+ because I can't expand fast enough (not enough apm too slow) but I check my units at the end and they are all fucking Chad's just popping the fuck off until 1 miss click into banes or too many units and mine just can't match them anymore
