    Moral of the game, play every race like Zerg. Be mobile, expand like crazy, use T1 units to flank and keep your op guessing, don't just make pure mass carrier/tempest/ht.

      "play every race like zerg"
      That is just pure stupidity.
      Reynor played greedy in this game because of the free 3rd base. You can't do that in other maps.
      Serral made a lot of mistakes here like overextending lurkers and nydus. He also wasted a lot of hyras, roaches and swarm hosts.
      Serral made a lot of tech switch having less workers.
      Reynor did play very well but the strategy won't work in any other maps.
      Also, Serral win this match 3-1

    I think something that's perhaps missed is Reynor's econ was better than Serral's for most of the game. He probed up like a zerg did which allowed him to be quite aggressive after the nydus attacks were pacified. Which meant his bank was ahead of Zerg's which isn't common.

      Its true one of the biggest advantages of protoss is their unit production, if they mass chrono gateways or stargates they can produce a full fresh army almost instantly and teleport it almost anywhere on the map at the same time. They requires very greedy play tho with many bases.

      The flank on the gold base was honestly just peak star craft. Its what protoss's have failed to do for so long honestly. Not nearly enough multi-pronged attacking. Always just a death ball that gets 360 degree surrounded by zerg and becomes a Dead ball

      Ye, but that’s the issue exactly. Come supreme lategame, PvZ is skytoss deathball vs whatever the Zerg chooses. And 9 out of 10 times, the result is, that P starts losing the attrition war to rebuilding interceptors and abducted units, loses patience, commits to an engagement they should not have commited to (but didn’t really have much choice anyway), gets rightfully obliterated and taps out…

    controversial statement:
    Terran splash damage sometimes has friendly firer (siege tanks, mines) and sometimes doesn't (thor, liberator air attack). Protoss splash damage sometimes has friendly fire (storm, disruptor) and sometimes doesn't (colossus, archon).
    Zerg banelings, lurkers, fungal don't have splash damage. Does ravager count? It's not really splash damage.
    Either way zerg op because they never have to deal with friendly fire. You can destroy your own mineral line with siege tanks as a terran, but you can burrow endless lurkers in a mineral line and they never hit each other, same with banelings etc.
    Zerg needs friendly fire.

    • @eternaldakrusha9198
      @eternaldakrusha9198 6 місяців тому +5

      If Zerg needed friendly fire, the devs would've done it. The reason they don't is because if you have 20 banelings rolling at marines and one blows up cause a marine shoots it, you lose your entire baneling count and that's just plain stupid. Lurkers would also kill your entire army immediately cause zerglings have less hp than zealots, stalkers, marines, marauders, or anything else really, so all of Zerg's splash, maybe with the exception of fungal, which would still kill all your zerglings, would make the race unplayable. Have you ever actually played Zerg?

      friendly fire would make banelings unusable lol... I'm terran but zerg doesnt need friendly fire, especially considering the massing quality of their units. Lurkers doing friendly fire would obliterate all the zergs other ground forces. Most zerg units charge INTO the other army, marrines/stalkers, etc. kite back from a fight, allowting tanks/distruptors/collo to cover fire.
