    2. Tactical nukes

      I am glad and surprised he explains how certain units and strategies work.
      It's quite a contrast when he makes commentary of non professional players. Then he mocks them brutally and mercilessly :D As if he presumed they must know everything and that they should have at least 200 apm.

    Fun fact: the AA missile doesn’t just remove armour, it actually inflicts a -3 armour modifier on the enemy, meaning the enemy could have no armour upgrades and their units will still take 3 additional points of damage per hit.

    Maru: Building 2 planetary fortress for defense and missile turrets around base. Late game it is, we’re not going anywhere.
    Zest: I see you Maru, *24* gateways coming up!
    Maru: Well too bad...I got *COMMEND CENTER CITY* planted!
    Zest: *Quadruple* warp prism suicide squad.
    Maru: That square is trash. Welcome to my missile torrent forests!
    Zest: TRIPLED tempest production NOW!
    Maru: I scan...I SCAN EVERYTHING!
    Maru: *MORE* missile turrets! *PUT IT EVERYWHERE!*

    Maru: I KEEP SCANNING MORRRRREEEE.
    (This goes on for awhile)
    Maru: I WILL OVER NUKE YOUR BASE TO DUST.
    Zest: ZEALOTS GO GET HIS BASE, AND KILL THOSE TURRETS.
    Maru: I’m running out of minerals.
    Zest: I’m running out of gas.
    Maru: I still have mining going.
    Zest: I GET IN YOUR BASE AND KILL YOUR PRODUCTION.
    Maru: *I NUKE MY OWN BASE*
    Zest: Ha you missed, now your main base is GONE.
    Maru: All buildings evacuate! We need to rebuild around our missile turrets forest.
    Zest: I have no bank, but I have strong army.
    Maru: I have weaker army, but I still have mining.
    Zest: I try to kill some base.

  • @brianp235
    @brianp235 3 года назад

    Lowko I think I figured out a simple formula for time to recoup losses from pulling drones to gold minerals.
    Gold minerals mine for 7 instead of 5 which is 40% faster. So to make up the minerals lost from being pulled they'd have to mine for 40% x 2.5 = 100%
    Workers mine at an average rate of about 1 mineral per second I believe, if your base is in the right spot
    So if workers lost 10 seconds of mining they'd make it back up after 10 seconds x 2.5 = 25 seconds.
    So it makes sense to pull the workers in most cases, they make it back pretty quickly.

    Zest really should have had expanded. He took his 5th at 9:40 yet he was only on 6 bases at the 16min mark. I’m sure he could be ahead economy wise and be able to replenish his army and finally kill the Terran with reinforcements
