    Rogue is really the shining star of Zerg. Dark's chaotic gameplay and fierce timing attacks are a wonder to see, and Serral's indefatigable macro behind insane micro wins him games at the top end, but Rogue is really showing how more typical Zerg can compete with Terran in the late game.

  • @LucianDevine

  • @Chauzuvoy
    @Chauzuvoy Місяць тому +18

    I feel like mutas as a way to force a response in that situation was kind of brilliant actually. That was enough mutas that had he not responded with thors/ghosts/freedom it may have gone poorly, which werent well-equipped to deal with the swarm hosts and lings following up. If Byun had tried to respond less drastically (or if Rogue had better drained his money so he couldn't) the mutas end it.

      Going through all of that can still take a heavy toll
      Constant vision and free nydus', let alone taking up so much apm, that's already heavily worth it - and if they give up trying to stop the changelings then they become even stronger
      Contaminte is hardly worth it, I mean they can put up a handful of missile turrets and it immediately becomes too costly to do it

      As a tech switch esque move though. You force a trade of supply and then fly through the base one time and you shut down all production for 30 seconds. Rogue can then rebuild while his opponent cannot. ​@PJOZeus

So clearly there isn't that much good starcraft going on when the overlap is so consistent. It ends up with me being able to watch content for say, Monday to Wednesday, and then the rest of the week your channel and lowko will be repeats of what I already saw. Since I prefer your sarcasm to his singing, I've just had to give up on his channel and check in on it on Sundays in case there's anything you haven't already cast -- typically not. I'd love twice the starcraft though.
