While watching this, I kept thinking "I know oLmA wins but... how are you going to do it?"
You seemed so far behind. A base, tech, econ etc... I could never make mass speedling work vs mass muta, but somehow you did. The other guy BM'd probably because he was wondering how in the world you made it work too, lol.
Thank you for your comment. The 1/1 and (2/2) of the zerglings make the difference in such a game. Zerglings have more mobility and are easier to split into the enemy's base. All you have to do then is to create a bunch of queens and only a few of spore crawlers to defend against mutas.
Was a cool game. I am in a much lower legue, but when I was in gold I have beat mutas with roaches by just continuously sending them to their base and they can't kill them fast enough.
Cool to see the lings do something like this in diamond play. GG Olma.
Your tech was pretty slow, all things considered (nearly 15 minutes before Lair? VERY unwise), but I have to hand it to you beating an opponent, full of mutas. Your opponent may have been pissed off, but it's his fault for not building banelings (and not upgrading them either) after getting assaulted with zerglings wave after wave after wave. Mutas are great for many things, but they're terrible at splash damage against exceptionally large numbers, and even worse with the zergling's speed.
Also, when you lose 60 drones over the course of a game, that economic slump really adds up.
