EPTWhat is happening to ZvP?
Why is +1 range /5 hatch hydra popular nowdays?
Why isn't +1 armor with lurker build used anymore?
Is it because of maps?

I always though that this 5 hatch hydra build with 1 range is counter for +1 zealot/archon push. | ||

I think zergs are going +1 range nowadays due to top toss getting better and better at timing their midgame zeal+archon push...though it still doesn't seem to be helping... -____-;; | ||

This leads to a protoss with three bases and a comparable army fighting a zerg struggling to take his fourth, which sucks majorly for the zerg. my random theorycrafting is that zerg will have to go back from using the 3hatch lair ->scourge->5hat hydra and start going lair into hydra and delay spire possibly using gas to get +1 carpace instead to fight zealarchon with hydraling or just go lurkers first as the build seems to delay observer forever, to stop protoss from getting such a fast third up. | ||

No Plexa is right. Go look at Bisu vs Savior finals again, especially on Longinus. Savior was triple expanding in response to Protoss FE and until Bisu they had no answer to that. Of course Savior could win too when he didn't triple expand, but before that it still worked. rA had even did the same zeal/archon timing rush all the way back in Pringles 1 Finals. It beat Savior there since he went mutas. Basically Zerg needs another Savior to reinvent both their matchups. Jaedong wasn't really much of an innovator and now that he's bad Zerg has nobody. | ||

Okay let's take a look at some current maps; Destination - Zergs take their third on the highground with the gas) - HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TAKE THE MINERAL ONLY WITH A 4th HATCH?! that really pisses me off Adromeda - Zergs generally take another main - thats good! but typically too late. Medusa - fourth taken really late Colo - as above Zerg's are just in a low eco frame of mind and really need to get the 4th base over the protoss to compound on any advantages and make up lost ground. Sair/DT isn't an issue anymore, as you rightly pointed out, so taking a faster 4th should be commonplace. However Zergs just haven't learned this yet... Seriously, Zerg have the best defensive machinery in the game!!! Sunk/Spore/Lurk is so hard to break and, say on medusa, if you have two bases defended with that, it meants you can easily progress onto Ultralisk tech and enter the lategame much better off .. | ||

An early fourth (assuming the third isn't easily accessible like in Medusa or Andromeda) would only make matters worse. The zeal/archon timing attack hits just before most BOs nowadays JUST stop drone production and focus on hydras or what have you. | ||

Every zerg should model their ZvP from Tushin's and this silly arguments won't happen ... I don't know how bad zergs have it vs heavy archon / zealot pushes , but maybe geting the lurker update first then speed and range will help them vs timing archon/zealot push and of course the range attack update first instead of carapace . Fast spire is a must this days to counter any corsair oriented builds , also mutas are pretty good for harrasing purposes . | ||

You obviously heard wrong .... He may have taken games from him , but Tushin >>> protoss my friend with Bisu or without him . Even TLPD laughs at your statement Tushin 3 vs Bisu 2 http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?type=players&id=117&part=games&vs=125&league=any&map=any&from_year=2003&from_month=4&from_day=1&to_year=2008&to_month=12&to_day=6&action=Update A weak win an Medusa doesn't change the fact that he received one of the bigger rapes ZvP on Chupung-Ryeong ( god i hate this map's name ) . I wrote that not because i wanted to start some kind of war with protosses , but because his style is very strong and more zergs should model their ZvP from him and not Savior or Jaedong example . I responded to the comments about Savior and Jaedong above ... | ||
