Nadav, the original post was an example of my lack of organisation I was watching Grey's Anathomy (a TV series) and I was posting a review during the commercial break. I was also replying to other posts, this one included. AND I've put the review here, instead of the appropriate thread. I've realised my mistake, when I couldn't give a rating xD
So, I've erased it, wrote "Mistake post", after 2 minutes I've ralised my game's gonna be reviewed, so I came back and changed the post again, this time to "thank you "
Very nice game which shows a nice twist because of mistakes made both sides. The game was mostly 1 sided- to the tau side. The game began with Ushenge's expected raptor harrass, and managed to pull 2 decaps and 2 dead builders. It then turned over when Zane got his TC out along with FW. Then Zane was moving forward massing his FW more and more, destroying many chaos LPs. Ushenge loses more than once and although he had larger eco, he couldn't stand the attack. Ushenge then gets his CS out with some berzekers (which imo should have came earlier- the CSM who came before teching was useless and unnecessary) and strikes back! The massive forces of tau then are forced to retreat and eventually, when Zane tries to go back to chaos base, Ushenge attacks Zanes base, which concludes in his total defeat. Although a nice fight in the end honestly
ZanE_1- Tau:
In the begging you gaming was awesome. You maybe lost some builders and got some decaps on you, but you later on repaid Ush with you great mass of FW. These guys combines with the FC were nearly unstoppable. His mistake taking another group of CSM was a great benefit for you and got some more LP's down. You had Macro problems though. You never got all the map you can get, and most of the game your eco was much lower. Eventually, it came down to a mass of zerks which I don't see a thing you could have done. The mistake was- you should have stopped the massing in a certain point, and tech up to get some armor and distruption. Eventually you're final mistake was when you ran away for his base, while he was coming after you. That led him right to you're defenseless base= GG =\
Tips for Improvement:
Keep your builders, don't let them fall so early gameץ
Work on some Macroing. It's always very important to keep your economy as high as possible.
Teching faster might take time, and valuable troops, but is more important than a squad or 2 of FW.
No major micro mistake, but getting it better would definately improve your gaming.
Keep your enemies close, but for god sakes don't put then in your base!

Ushenge|T- Chaos:
Awesome game for you. You earled early game eco, your raptor harrass was great, and eventually you won lol. I think that taking that CSM was a realy bad mistake. You had enough resources to take, and you tried to put up a fight against the increasing mass of FW. I think a simple CC attachment could be enough. Get you CL, raptors and some nades at them and their GG. Instead, you threw away all these guys and gave him the control. Eventually you greatly pulled it off, and the use of your zerks was good, but still you had some micro mistakes throughout the whole game. It's always to your best interests to tech faster (as chaos ). Oh and theres was once when you floated abit (500-600).
Tips for Improvement:
Try working some micro, and noticing your army bit more.
Lost early game Heretic due to poor use of FL. Work on that and try using it later game aswell!! On LPs, Sacrifisal Circle and such.
Try keeping your eyes on the req, and not float.
When using chaose's raptor harrass it is important not to waste time and tech to zerks, followed by PSM and oblis ASAP.

Great game by both of you. You could have done better though! P.S: This doesn't mean you 2 suck! You guys played great!

Thanks for the review! Ye, I've noticed the things you've mentioned. As for fast tech - I couldn't wait much more, or it would be gg. Besides, Preds were a bit more menacing and gave me the victory, coz Zane was totally surprised when he saw them. And ye, I've floated a bit, could've teched, but I was occupied in the base.
As for that Heretic, dunno how he died. Funny thing, we've had three games that day and I've lost a Tic in every one
