But honestly, let's get focused here. What comes into your mind when someone goes talks about Sauron. Are you thinking about expansive HydraLing, or the fact that he has a lot of Hatcheries? For me it's not even a question, but maybe I'm alone.
Sauron refers to the old playstyle that does involve a lot of hydraling low-tech with taking as many bases as possible. One of the dominant zerg playstyles in 2002-2003.

3cm is the correct korean term. phonetically, they call it "sam-sen-chi"
as for the scourge thing, koreans call them scourge... hence why you hear the commentators yelling it during matches. when they say "terror" they aren't calling the scourge themselves that, but rather the role of scourge, primarily in ZvT where scourge pick off dropships and sci vessels a lot.

oh and as for the 한방 (hanbang) attack
hanbang literally means one-blow.
so when you hear them say "hanbang rush," it usually means that the player is going for a single attack that can have a huge impact on the game, usually in a specific timing. for instance in TvZ the "hanbang" would be when the T is massing M&M while defending vs mutas, and then when he gets 2 tanks and a sci vessel, all those unit combined would be considered a "hanbang" force.
or at least, that's how i understand it.

For Spirit Toss, what about the actual build? 3 gate fast speedlot 8 goon 8 lot or so, timing attack.

Spirit Toss is late game dude when you're trying to just bowl over your opponent with hundreds of units. And we're not going to get into builds in this thread.

Also wondering for my own sake, what a "han bang" rush is. Searched it up and found "Han-Bang = all in, do-or-die attack.", but I've also heard it used to describe 4 fac off two base quick mass of units, and also to describe Tornado Terran.
Yeah, hanbang in Korean means one shot, or more appropriately an all-in attack.

I think this has been overlooked, and is very important: VARIOUS BOMBS! I don't know how you'd classify them, but the obvious ones are Gol Bomb (Hwasin used it recently), Zealot Bomb, DT Bomb.
In case someone is confused, it's when you drop a unit on top of an enemy mine where he has densely packed forces, killing them all.

Hmm for proxy you can also add that it can be used to hide your tech. Like a proxy templar archive.

I always thought Sauron zerg was the condition where you have so many expansions and hatches, that you can be replacing your 200/200 army just as fast as it dies.
It's not a build because it implies the zerg wins. Mass hydra/ling is a build yes, but it doesn't mean the zerg has such a strong economy.
Saroun is a style and a build, not a condition.

Agreed. I did not see zlot bomb or I am blind.

Lingburn: When toss has 1 more attack grade than zerg has armour grades and therefore kills a zergling in 1 hit less

Updated.
I read this thread and all the links. If you still feel any are missing or wrong, please let me know. Ones people suggested that arent on the list were most likely left off on purpose, but if you really feel something should be added, let me know.
Thanks guys.
