The thing is, he not just wins, he (to use a overused frase) makes it look relatively easy vs the two best tvz players. He almost never seems to be too pressured, just does his things and wins. His muta micro is really amazing too :o | ||

Any smart adjustment he does? maximizes eco with muta micro while making few lurkers to defend his bases. With his mutas still alive he harrasses more and more sniping vultures from mining or preventing terran from expanding. Them he suddenly makes either mutas or lurkers to even kill terran or constrain them while expanding triple times totatling his base to 6 bases. He makes 3 additional hatcheries ar 3rd and makes mass ultras defilers lings and starts breaking terran defense at center and slaughters terran with millions of swarms. After that tank line break up he proceeds to make millions of lings that swarm onto either main or far 4th gas to seal the game. note you need insane mechanics and eapm to pull this off | ||

Im not sure exactly how it works, but he saves mutas to clear mines vultures for one thing (normally players like JD etc "suicide" their last 5 mutas to kill wear down a few extra marines, Larva just saves them for later or slight map control to prevent expanding sniping scvs forcing terran to send a certain force of marines and medics. And Larva just sends the mutas away then). Another thing he does is using lings better but this is the part Im not sure how, maybe he learnt a trick or two from protoss. Whenever he sends lings across maps he is very careful about where the mine field is and then he lets 1-3 lings keep running to the place he attacks and pulls back the rest. But I am not sure how becuase it goes so fast but he often manages to clear entire fields like this even killing vultures in the process. Very effective and not very time consuming for him. Again to make the JD analogy, JD just send lings 1by1 across the map and "hopes" they clear some mines. Then if he is lucky he will have a free path to the terran bases, but often some mines are missed and he loses his defilers, lurkers, ultras to it. Larva almost NEVER lose anything but lings. | ||

I've been watching Larva's games and indeed, he's been playing a brilliant counter-strategy to 5 rax. I noticed that in the early game, he neutralizes T's map control by being aggressive, catching marines with good flanks and doing a lot of hit and runs in the nat and main, pressuring T to keep units home instead of going out and stopping the third. Then he gets his third and lurker+swarm, and uses it to delay T's army at critical areas while quickly expanding behind it. Meanwhile he continues to harass and occupy T around the map with lurker+swarm and smart use of his mutas. He keeps his mutas alive to fight vultures, forcing vultures to stay around the slower marines instead of controlling the map. He also uses his mutas to clear mine fields and hit expansions, slowing T's macro and forcing T to spread his units out and invest in more turrets for every new base. Then his own macro kicks in and he runs through T's thinned defense with lings and ultras. Larva just seems to have 5 rax completely figured out, and it's no surprise that JD, Effort, are watching his play closely. | ||

Long macro game vs Flash's mech on terran favored map and he did it. Fantastic queen + muta combo with constant action. Top level of play. He has EASILY the best ZvT right now imo. | ||
