    If anybody is wondering: The Video the opponent in the first match posted is a song by Adam Sandler "Steve Polychronopolous". He posted the link to the video in chat. (A quick search on YT will find you the song).
    For whatever reason he posted the song, I cannot fathom.

    Really happy about the longer episodes, I haven't complained because I'm qutie happy that you put out videos so consistantly but the longer videos are great and it does feel bad when we've gotten used to longer episodes and new ones drop that are only 25 minutes

    One type of proxy hatch I've seen PiG do, that I think you've over looked. You take a queen and a drone to the other side of the map. You proxy the Hatchery. Cancel it, then throw down a creep tumor right away into the limited amount of creep the hatchery spawned. It's a little expensive, but you'll have forward creep that can and will break the opponents brain.

    • @IcariumGaming
      @IcariumGaming Рік тому +22

      I wouldn't consider that a proxy hatchery though. I think it breaks the spirit of the challenge too much.

    • @jeremieyelle3307

    • @LordKelvinX2086
      @LordKelvinX2086 Рік тому +7

      That would be an interesting concept for a new series: Aggressive Creep to GM. Pool and Overlord Speed into fast Lair, morph a couple Drop Overlords, then just pick up Queens and fly all over the map dropping Creep Tumors. Bonus would be that if it goes into the late game, you can effectively build Nydus anywhere you want.

    Pair Build sounded like an interesting challenge: every building you build, must be built in pairs, meaning the second must be started before the first ends. You build a second expansion nexus, you better get a third expansion too. Pylons will be dropped twice. Two cyber cores? Optional cap on units.

    An idea for a ZvZ build: Instead of making a proxy hatchery, use the opponent's hachery creep to put the spines there. That would save 300 mats which could be translated into 2-3 additional spines?
    So basically you'll use your enemies base as your proxy hatch to make the spine rush.. Maybe it's a bit out of the scope of Proxy Hatch but something I'd like to see you try :),
    you could perhaps wait for the enemy zerg to finish his 2nd hatchery, and wait with 4-5 well timed drones to be able to instantly build the spines.

    I saw that last game live from MightyKiwi's channel, he was fairly nervous that the game would draw out and you might have a chance at catching up in the macro game (we all knew it was you) though at his level in the ladder, most of his games are against people at similar levels.
    It was the first time I've seen a pro face off against someone I knew and was watching live, which I thought was cool, cause I don't usually watch people on twitch.
    A bit of a sidenote, but I managed to beat him a couple days earlier, with my main race. It was by far the highest level opponent I've ever beaten (or faced off against in that matter) in a long drawn out macro game, in my worst matchup (PvZ).
    We were familiar with each other since I played in an Aus offline tournament which he watched and it was quite the honor to face off against him (and then beat him to! +66 points :o)
