IIRC Rain (re?)started the general idea of bludgeoning the Terran army at earlier timings with just gateway man to keep the tank count low while expanding himself (and losing every squad in the process, but it was worthwhile). That was like 4-5 ASLs ago and looked pretty ugly to watch - and in the end he lost ASL7 to Last using a more conventional approach. Then probably Best expanded on the idea and added HTs in the gateway army.

Seems like a very technical approach, requires great multitasking with shuttle loading/unloading/casting storm/moving the main army around in reasonable formation with observers and the shuttles AND macroing at the same time. I rather like it, but feels very high-end; at anything below A probably the Terran timings aren't as crisp and optimized so the window to engage in a meaningful way with conventional gateway army + arbs is wider, so not that worthwhile to risk such a technical style. This is from a pure viewer point of view, there's certainly dozens of variables that people who actually play the game might expand upon.

It isn't a new style it's an older style of Protoss for sure absolutely and positively.
