He also did Valks with bio - you even wrote down the build order here:  User:Cryoc/ValkonicThis was the original version of it though: Iloveoov Fake MechThere were some variations where people would go Goliath/Bio as well (I think all from SKT, including FanTaSy) which is what we see from FlaSh now. Sorry bought it back a few months ago and used it in some online tournaments and it appears FlaSh has been iterating on that. | ||

Maybe for terran players this will be good. You don't face Zero on the ladder, but most probably a less skilful player, so you have a better chance! Good luck ! | ||

You can check NukeTheStars (amazing channel btw) youtube vods on the MSL Final between Flash and Zero, where Flash owned him two games with same strategy which was not played much by Flash at that times, that is why it was surprising, same way as current games. Final games between the two from MSL 2011 finals: As a 15+ years fan of Flash who watched 95%+ of his games I saw Flash streamed matches just before the semi final and he was struggling a lot with his 2 barracks and teching build mainly on map 1 & 3 hence had this tickling feeling he will go with the valkyries again however he made uncharacteristic mistakes particularly in game2 with his goliath/bio build, well deserved and happy for Zero. | ||

I feel like the scouting information and pressure you get from the vulture is vital to keeping the Zerg honest and preventing them from cutting corners so they can get fast mutas, a 3rd base, and nonstop drones all at the same time. EDIT: Also, kudos to the OP for putting together this doc! I used to track build orders from SC2, so I know how much work goes into this. | ||

Get rekt yourself, he just screams Fantasy and spouting nonsense without having a clue. The build order, I wrote down there was from the ABC Mart finals Flash vs Zero, where Flash did this multiple times. | ||

Oov Fake mech was first though ^^ <3 | ||

Wish there were more build orders for Zerg, hydra boost is just a small part of Zerg's repertoire | ||

If you mean using valks combined with bio in general, you are probably right. But I don't remember anyone ever going valkyries with Rax FE vs 2 Hatch, only with Fac FE. | ||

and he only lost with it because he forced the build on Hitchhiker (made tanks which weakened his comp), that wasn't a good map for his b.o Valk b.o is good on standard maps (vs 2h) where z can't take a backdoor exp. That said, u need to macro perfectly while babysitting your army after you move out. Your multitask gets tested post move out. The key thing with his b.o that sets it a part from previous versions is Flash's double scv scout (this is the main adjustment he made to the build). If you can't confirm that Z made a spire you have to respect the threat of a lurk bust. You can't tech up to valks blindly without any scouting info (aca is obviously delayed for eco boost so you won't have scans). Flash excels at optimizing builds, he'll tweak an old build to gain a edge in an attempt to break the current meta/put his opponents in an uncomfortable spot. Imagine going to a tourney and having your most standard b.o hard countered, that's a terrible feeling. In that scenario, you have to be smart/experienced enough to adjust on the fly to avoid getting b.o bullied by Flash (which is what ZerO did on Sylphid). Without any scv scouting info you have to change the build to what Flash did on Sylphid, he tried to turn it into more of a "catch all build" by accounting for both mutas and lurks. Still wasn't enough tho, maybe 2 bunks @ his nat woulda been enough but that would have weakened his mech play vs mutas. | ||

This is a very 2004 Battle.net clan channel comment. | ||

I was under the impression that they were weak to 2 hatch mutas, not a counter to 2 hatch mutas. It's even stated as so in the wiki : User:Cryoc/Valkonic | ||

I didn't compare the build orders but it uses valkyries and bio which has happened long before these games FlaSh played | ||

Effort caused Flash build two science facilities and Zero cancel control tower. Judging from yesterday, Flash played a long Sk-terrangame against Larva so it was not healthissue that caused this build to surface. | ||

Valks arent really that good vs overlords. Wraiths do more DPS than wraiths, and theyre cheaper, and theyre earlier in the tech tree. If terran wants to hunt overlords, they can just go with the 1-1-1 build and hunt overlords with the wraiths from the starport. | ||

Are there more youtube channels that pro gamers are sharing their build order for Terran or other races ? Thanks. | ||
