Im ok with a cool showmatch series.
Yes ZeLoT won several times with this build and i was the one who showed and guided him this build. Previously he did zergling muta guardian devourer all in, but he changed his thought after I've shown him several replays of this build vs 2500~2700mmr terran.

Zelot seems like a player similar to Shine very creative.

Scan is the counter to Muta-Guardian the same as against Hydra-Guardian? And are Vessels, Valkryies, or Wraiths recommended to kill Guardians. Thanks.

Is there Replaypack anywhere with this build? Would like to learn vs. different styles & situations.

The VOD I uploaded is when the game goes classic style. Of course you will need to play something else if you are facing against mech opening(goliath) or some weird stuff.

muta guardian can be countered by mm vessels, and mm valkyries(att+1).
guardian hydra can be countered by ONLY mm vessels(from my experience)

but 3 port wraith is a good counter to muta/guardian tho? i see pros use it to kill off guardian builds easily, i even saw a recent game of you using to beat zelot last week.

Oh, that works also, my factory got delayed for no reason that game. I had to choose something that is faster than the vessels.

Scan what would you consider the thought process of when to pick Hydra-Guardian over the traditional Muta-Guardian combination? Thank you.

Has anyone tried this gurdian rush in recent years? I know Scan plays Terran these days but if anyone has a more recent guide for a good old gurdian rush or if this is still decent let me know, I would love to try it!

The only Afreeca streamers I know are on the TL sidebar are there more players that you would suggest in general?

For Zerg in general its Soma. He could use guards aswell with combination of Hydras.

Other than that you are very likely to see hydra/guards from ZeLoT nearly every game. Thats his style of play, super aggressive.

Queen is not a good candidate for learning Zerg because you need his micro to play like him. Soma is way better learning material.

coincidently, when I clicked on ZeLoT's stream he was doing muta hydra which turned into guardian hydra. It is very fun to see this type of exotic play succeed.

Yeah but if he get some kind of hiccup causing a long play game he just gives up. His playstyle is kinda allin.

Oof, might be worthwhile to integrate a build or two from him into my play for best of 3s or something
