This is my first BM'ing opponent in Ranked, and my most aggressive BM'ing opponent to date. Some of the things this guy said, just wow.
Fortunately, mouthing off at me like this doesn't affect me since Vector, like most BMers, is a keyboard warrior who actually has trouble backing up his big talk.
This was a fun match no doubt, and as you all know I've had issues with the aggression of Zerg vs Zerg and the Baneling wars, so I've been experimenting with fast teching to Roaches instead and defending with more Queens and Spine Crawlers until my transition is done. It worked before and I decided to give it a whirl on Vector here, who also just so happens to be a Platinum Zerg!
While the game itself was intense, after watching the Replay it became apparent to me that my opponent actually isn't that good at all: sloppy Baneling use, lack of adaptation to the situation, and most importantly at all, not a _single_ Drone kill.
That's right, even though Vector got into my Mineral lines a few times, he failed to kill a single Drone all match. Not. A. Single. One.
Instead he just kept pumping out Zerglings with some Banelings over and over and over and over again, despite the fact that it wasn't working.
Seriously, how'd he get into Platinum League? And for more hilarity, watch past the stats screens for when he messages me post-game to make excuses. Too. Funny.
