1) If Chobo could see what was waiting for him, why would he send his scvs halfway across before pulling them back?
2) I think 2 spines is definitely scary enough to give up the attack, if zerg pulls their drones and transfuses you won't be able to break that.
3) It's a good thing this video doesn't matter at all because LOL THAT FIRST VIKING VIDEO
Yes, rather than throw away a game and try go up a ramp with uncertainty. 2 spines queen... what if he had bane etc that I couldn't see. based on the double spine and queen he was read for this attack and who knows what more he could have why would i try force myself up a wall that's gonna lose the game.
So I did something which would look like something stupid in most peoples eyes.. go back and try to outmacro... which I did and won... pretty impressive game imo.

OK then. I would like to hear your account/explanation of TWO situations.
Quote 1:
"Chobo looks into the main and then just randomly pauses for a moment with no actions at 5:30 as a baneling nest is being constructed and I also noted this was happening throughout many of the replays; a random pause with no actions. In sc2gears i looked throughout that time at his actions and there was no right click with his scvs on the mineral patches or anything, just a random look into the main and then natural."
Quote 2:
"Also, if you watch all of Chobo's TvZs he plays completely blind the whole game whenever the zerg goes infestors. Yet on the shakuras game when Mafia was morphing a greater spire he scans both the main and the natural. And on the Ohana game he also scans Mafia's main when he is building a spire. In all other games there were no scans and no scouting, and in all these games the zerg went infestors."
If you can clear up these two situations then it would clear up a lot of things.

i did poke up the ramp, while i could win, i could also lose. My decision to pull back because i wanted to make an entertaining game, to show i can go from a all in, scv train back to my base and out macro to take the win.

"I went to go all in, but I wanted to make an entertaining game and show I can go from an all-in to macro and win"
"... Hang on, I mean I was uncertain as to whether he had banes and I just assumed from the 2 spines he was ready for it, why would I go in when I think I'm gonna lose?"
