broodling!

Today’s ASL 10 games were excellent. Every game was exciting. There were cool and unusual events, such as turrets placed solely for deception, and 3-base zerg versus 3-base zerg. Recommended.

Meanwhile, to fill the time as I make my second attempt to upgrade Steamhammer to BWAPI 4.4.0, here is another unusual game. The pictures show a queen killing an ultralisk with broodling, something I mentioned by name in the latest change list. See the queen’s energy level and the ultralisk remains. The game is weak on both sides, but as I forecast, Steamhammer was more ready than its opponent for the rare situation.

the queen is ready

scratch one ultralisk

The game was played over a week ago. If Crona is already updated to fix some of the mistakes here, that’s no surprise. Steamhammer has a related improvement.

SH see proxy 2gate and expands on another location. Idea is okay, but first you have to place imidiately sunken/creep colony near workers.. Defense first. Also its alright to place hatch inside main and with sunken to prevent contain on ramp.
2nd game imidiately after this one, SH goes pool and hatch inside main. That's blind assumption opponent will go same build order. Map is no longer same 2 player map. SH was pretty much all in. You can't really comeback going for spores and hydras. Not enough drones, not enough army. Should have been all in zerglings.
