JooktoJung vs CoCa

Game 3 was the simple result of Coca skipping banelings. Baneling nest + 4 banelings = 200/150, and he just spent it on roaches instead. The cost is that he would have automatically lost to a ling all-in...

Which is why his read is so brilliant. People talk about how great SimCity with a baneling nest and a spine crawler is, but if you were planning on doing an all-in you would never show the baneling nest that way. That plus a spine crawler is a pretty obvious signal to your opponent: you're safe, bro, cancel that nest. Coca does, gets a big advantage, and then just presses it with a little timing attack. It's a thing of beauty. And I like to see it, because ZvZ openings have gotten so stagnant since everybody gave up baneling all-ins
