I am just very curious about that 2 base hive play Zero played against Mong. I haven't seen anything like that (at least for a long time), and I wonder, whether it is a legit strategy, or Zero just got lucky twice in a row (?). Also, if you happen to know any notable games, where this 2 base hive was executed, please let me know. He faced Mong again in the 41SL this morning. You should watch the vods on that! | ||

Hmm, interesting. One thing I'm not clear about though, is he researches hive before morphing any lurkers, which definitely seems different from the classic ZvT 3 hatch build I learned. Is this really so common? Is it specific to play against double cc? | ||

When mech 1-1 upgrades finished, Mong attacked 12 with his tanks while his vultures go to 11. The vultures run into spines and get annihilated quickly. I can't help but to scream when I saw that aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | ||

From what I have seen, the "some extra sunks" were deliberate, and the play looked different from the usual intention "make 3rd - terran gets aggresive - secure with lurkers on the ramp - hope terran insists on forcing ramp preferably without tanks and vessels - oh shit, there is drop on my...". I dont say it is brand new strategy, just didn't see that in a hundreds of games that I watched recently. So if you can link to any of actual games played, it would be more productive than facepalming. Thank you. | ||

His hive timings relative to his third and lurker timings is something I haven't really seen in a really long time. Super early and really fragile. | ||
