    Mech is cool, but it wasn't mech that won that game. Catz was down to three workers. The game was already over at that point. His death throes just lasted for a while

    Mass neural is so finnicky, ran into it on the ladder the other day.

    first engagement he grabbed 3/4 colossi, which let the last colossu+stalker fire focus down the infestors quick. At this points I discovered neuralled colossi are removed from ctrl groups, which was annoying.

    Next enagagement he had enough infestors to just neural every colossi, and enough banelings/zerglings to deny my stalkers acess to them, at which point even feedback/storm didn't save me.

    I was massively behind in econ in the final engagement though, thanks to banelings in my mineral lines. But it really seems unless you can neural everything neural isn't really worth it, since infestors are easy to snipe.

    Fizban, lowering it to 720p solved the lag on nasl for me, guess they have issues with streaming or something. Considering I'm streaming the ipl at the same time at 1080p without issues it's probably not on my end in this case.

    Yes, but it only worked for a couple minutes.


    Actually lowering it to 480 works but really isn't an option...I pay for this :(

    Can they move after casting it, or by forcing the other side to retreat?

    They're not that bad.

    I don't think Catz took it seriously after he held off the first wave, while SeleCT basically doubled down and went all-in with it.

    edit: [strike]They can do both. If the range becomes greater than 14, NP is canceled.[/strike] This is incorrect. The infestor cannot move while the NP is sticking in another unit.

    sounds so obvious when you say it like that variable.

    I blame it being 4 am and watching both ipl and nasl at the same time for my confusion... although nasl stream is refusing to load now <<.

    I just tested this on the unit test map. The infestor cannot move while NP is out, but it can move the neuraled unit however it wants. The original owner of the neuraled unit cannot use it. I'm going to edit my initial comment about that. Sorry guys, I remembered wrong.

    Arranged 2v2s are fun.

    Incontrol just went to colossus heavy. I don't know if he was scouting, but with that amount of vikings and marauders, he probably should have had a few (and by "a few" I mean "a lot of") immortals in there. Then again, the ghosts...

    In conclusion, I hate terran forever.

    Pretty sure stim bio beats chargelots, especially when they are ahead on upgrades. Immortals wouldn't have been bad I suppose, but ghosts knock their shields down pretty easily. Templar might have helped too but that is a huge tech switch and was too late.

    Get butt hurt if you want Duld but I am not saying protoss had no options. Just that incontrol had no options at that point in the game.

    Ahaha this late game Minigun v Axslav PvP is just refreshing. I hope they drag it out to carriers but unlikely.

    Please watch the IPL series, Minigun vs Axslav. So entertaining.

    Ack. You're Protoss. You should never be behind on upgrades. And Marauders are terrible against Chargelots. Zealots are insanely good against Marauder-heavy compositions, and Templars are good against everything. Kiting is good, but charge prevents the Marauders from taking 0 damage. And it takes so damn long to kill Zealots with Marauders that they'll have to stim multiple times, dealing 20 damage per stim to every marauder.

    Here's what went down
    Minigun 4 warp gates while axslav does 3 WG + Robo
    Initial conflict ends with Minigun ahead with 27 probes vs 17~18ish for axslav
    Minigun goes for colossus tech while axslav decides to chance it and get a faster expo
    axslav gets a faster scout with his earlier obs and decides to double stargate to counter
    Minigun scouts? the double stargate and goes mass void rays
    Axslav catches up with his faster expo and better phoenix harass and air attack upgrade, crushes Minigun's push
    With the surplus of phoenixes left with, Minigun was exposed to harass which sealed the game for Axslav

    I think that Minigun just made a poor tech choice and should have just went for stalkers instead of voidrays =\
