I can see Emp not working so easly also, zerg can still put queen in the further corner of his map and also spread them 1 epm away from each other, like you may want to do with tanks vs stasis.

Forget all that and watch how Larva uses them against Flash. Beautiful. Edit: game starts at 36m30s if the link wouldn't work. Awesome game, 5/5, would watch again.

Overlords are sent in the front because broodling spell has insanse range, much bigger than queen's sight range, and u want your queens to get as little near the goliaths as possible. On top of that, he also sent the overlords in early so that he had vision over the targets while he was cloning the queens. Having the queens back in his main base not only makes them safe, it also gives you enough travel time to clone 11 queens without using a billion separate hotkeys. You could see how it was straining his mouse speed to do it, only time in the VOD where I actually saw some misclicks. Although that may just be crappy me not paying enough attention otherwise.  | ||

Just think about it what 8 years ago ppl would have thought about todays ZvT of going absolutely batshit insane compositions and tactics. I wish every terran that kind of despair. Blinding the scouting overlords would actually make it very hard to clone the queens. Also would allow cloaked wraiths to snipe the queens. I so want to see that now. :D | ||

He gave up map control because of those queens but was able to stay on even bases with Flash because there were so few bases on the map. On a bigger map Flash would've just used his map control to take a bunch more bases and win with overwhelming economic advantage. Flash did this and lost to soulkey because of the superior mobility of zerg + drops on top of the tanks. | ||

BTW Does anyone think only z/T are evolving constantly? metawise Flash getting a taste of his own medicine. I want Flash to have that kind of frustration for the next 5 years to come. | ||

As much as I love Flash, I don't even get that excited for his games anymore lol. I expect him to win an overwhelming majority of the time, especially in these leagues. Now Jaedong on the other hand... knowing that he was the best Zerg at one point but is struggling right now makes me really want to root for him all the time and see him regain his dominance. If he doesn't I would just feel sad. But what I find most amazing is that the game even in 2017 is experiencing meta changes. | ||

Larva is 20:26 vs Flash this month so far. This I think gives a lot of Z hope. Last on the other hand is 6:0 vs Effort, and 48:35 vs Larva. | ||

With this new guardian build, Shine is able to get 9 guardians at 10 min mark. At this point, Terran can't get enough wraith to counter this build, so I really want to see how flash reacts to his guardian build. In my opinion, this is the most promising build to replace Savior's 3 hatch muta. | ||

In my opinion, this is the most promising build to replace Savior's 3 hatch muta. The problem is vs Flash or Last you probably won't be able to sneak your 3rd hatch at a gas like Shine did vs Mong. Having early 3 gas is essential to this build. | ||

You can check And another KCM match May 19, http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/KCM_Legend_Match if you can find VOD for this one. Shine beat Mong twice with this build. If you can find the VOD of that KCM match, you'll see that the clock shows at 10:30 shine has 9 guardians. First, he makes an early 3rd base. Instead of using mutas, he uses lurkers to defend. The downside of early 3rd base are 2 folds 1, it's hard to defend it using muta and lings. 2, lurkers can defend it but due to lurkers' bad mobility, it's hard to expand 4rd. Shines' new guardian solves these 2 problems. Guardians can be more aggressive and deal more damage to Terran than lurkers. Because Shine skips muta, he can get to hive pretty early. The early 3rd base also gives him extra gas. That's why he can get 9 guardians so early. Then Shine pushes out with 9 guardians + 12 hydras + 4 or 5 lurkers. At this point, if Terran goes by standard builds, it's impossible to get enough wraiths. With hydras cleaning wraiths, guardians are unstoppable. In that KCM match, Shine was so confident with this build that he even didn't care of losing his main base when he got enough guardians. | ||
