    I'm so impressed and so entertained at the same time :) I love all the little details, like blocking the probes in the choke in the mineral line with the first reaper, getting two shots off, then killing the damaged probe while running away; or knowing exactly which units are going to die and which engagements are profitable, or reading the path of the observer. It must be scary for these guys to play against you. I also really like hearing the considerations that go into your builds. And the most important part: it's so clear that you're having a lot of fun :D

      Armor upgrade alone cuts worker DPS by 40% and for zerglings as well, marines lose 33% dps and zealots lose 25%, it's expensive but if the enemy is going to pull the boys it makes them basically useless.

  • @Sorenzo

    I think it makes sense to build spines. He figures you are gonna keep your troops near the PF to protect it and to keep them safe, so he builds spines to deter you from attacking just whenever you want to. Gives him more time (more APM) to do other stuff because you can't just poke in with a few hellions every five seconds, and gives him a bit more time to get in position if a full push does come from you.
    Edit: Well I was assuming he wasn't just gonna try to break it head-on. I thought he was buying time for mass mutas or some other air or siege strategy.

If you run into problems with the PF2GM, you should maybe as challenge go ghosts with PF or marauder ? You should make a composition depending on the race of your opponent, ghosts against Zerg and maybe raven against Protoss, together with the PF ? Thank you for making these amazing videos, very fun to watch and learn from :)

    2nd game review. First I thought you were going to walk away from planetary, thinking about it. PF is bait, lines up zergs in a line for a good hellion in line shot. Forces Zerg into panic mode, leaving hatchery to go into main as the kill move, timing excellent. Finishing queens doesn’t allow heal or injects. Hellions come out faster than Zerg lol. Only meta I would add is move PF next to hatchery because your too busy continually attacking into main. Bring up more scvs or make more. That’s if Zerg countered properly.
