Probably one of the best ZvP's I've had in a while

Hey, I just played one of the best ZvP's I've had in a while. It includes doomdrops, motherships, vortexes, recalls, base trades, etc. And it's not "macro for 45 minutes and army trade".
My ranking is high diamond (about 2600 points) and his is the same. We both have the potential to get into masters, but he keeps hitting losing streaks and I haven't had the time to latter much lately.

C&C is welcome for both of us.

My C&C:

@ Vestras

- For the love of God learn burrow! He had like no observers! Maybe even less than that :0 That would've been so epic for the cheap cost of 100/100 (?)! That would've been so awesome to have in his base.
- At ~21:00 I'd have liked to see more expansions going on. Like - take every nearby expo even if you can't saturate them. You had money and debats was defensive.
- Epic amount of overseers. They really had a nice tea party there. BLARRGH.
- In a normal situation I'd have liked to see mass contamination. In a base raze this isn't really so important though.
- What's with your creep spread? Especially when going for so many Hydras you should know how important this is. In my games with you there were always dozens of damn tumors all around. Shoulda done this here, too.
- When he backdoor'd into your main I think it'd be useful to throw down a lot of spine crawlers at your natural to block his path. You had enough money to survive the loss of mining drones. But it'd stop the stalker push and you wouldn't have lost that lair.
- You forgot to put some ovies at the top/bottom middle of the map so you can see all the things going on. Potential drops etc.

@ debats:

- Your blink stalkers can blink. No need to WALK up two ramps and squeeze through a narrow entrance to get into your main when it's just getting ovie dropped. You can blink up ;)
- You should've harrassed more. Blink stalkers are all nice, but vs Hydras they don't do very well, even with blinking away the first row before it dies. Since Vest... ehh.. Supply (^^) didn't get mutas you could use small kill teams to run around and harrass.
- I also doubt the efficiency of mass stalkers only.. You should continue in tech. Either get the usual templar/collossi or go for something less common like void rays/carrier. But don't stay on tier 1.5 for ever. With exception of that Mothership.
- Vs so many Hydras you should def. get some Sentries. Their guardian shield will help a lot.

@ both:

- None of you particulary likes Xel Naga watchtowers, amirite? :p

The best C&C I can give to each of you is(Funny how they both have to do with the mothership):

Vestras:
Kill. the. mothership. KILL. THE. MOTHERSHIP(First time, it survived with 26hp or something. KILL IT!

debats:
I love you for that mothership.

Also, when Vestras morphed in like 20 overseers, I first thought they were brood lords. They were not. Son, I am disappoint.

Yep, I first saw how the Spire started morphing into a Greater Spire (actually it's the first time I saw the start of it. With these tentacle thingies coming out and engulfing the top o0) and then I saw a dozen Cocoons and I was like 'Wtf that sprite isn't even finished :x' for a second.

Coincidently the newest Day9 Daily is about an epic ZvP with Toss going for mass Stalker and a Mothership (he did an Archon toilet!). I'm sorry to say but XLorD and KiwiKaki are more awesome than debats and Vestras :p

Ima suggest debats to watch that D9D closely. It's basically his stragety, just more refined and overall better :3

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
