    I'll bet all the pros get super frustrated, having to spend their 300 APM on like four drones apiece in the start.

      The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources.
      Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit
      The scanning range is also very wide.
      Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump
      LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP.
      On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively
      Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function
      In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall
      The zerg is still garbage
      INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always non Deleted!!!!WTH!
      Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete
      The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone
      Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe
      Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units
      No race is more expensive than the Zerg
      One last thing on my mind.
      Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack
      Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack
      Zerg have no such units
      Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly
      nonono, please delete the zerg
      SC2 only requires Terran and Protoss
      Blizzard Always just trash balance thank you so much!

    Nice cast, and this was an awesome tournament put on by Wardi and Harstem. I like to think it was partly inspired by my comment suggesting a pro-level 0.25x or 0.5x speed tournament, sped up and cast at normal speed, to approximate Alphastar-level APM :) Also 22:07 this is a great map for broodlords and in part because of how easy the mid-map base at 22:07 is to siege from the air

    Nice. Lots of muta play. I love it. Also the zerg being controlled by a hive mind is very appropriate to lore.
    Though, I feel such mode would work best on bigger maps specifically made for it. This was great, but with that level of control there was no space for anything except positional warfare. That amount of missile turret, lol.

    Imagine 8 pro players vs 1 APM unleashed A.I in a 1v1... Doomsday Match.

    It would be sick If You could get somehow team comms mixed in from time to time. I'm not sure tho If they even have time to talk, this game is so fast paced.

    So this is basically a ~ 70% simulation of Maru vs. Serral when both of them are not available?

    Only watched the first 4 min as I have seen this game already, but does lowko not know this series is from Harstems Arcon tourny? I would at least expect a mention and a link to the full tourny on Harstems page...
