Wha? Not at all. 5 hatch hydra is a powerful and standard build. Sure, your opponent may do things that causes you to adapt, but that's not really his question.

Well he was asking if 5hat hydra is "the best". There is no "best", everything is good for something else. 5hat hydra is good for adaptability if the protoss went for a passive FE, that doesn't mean it's "the best", Z can easily prefer to go lurkerling or muta/scourge depending on what his playstyle, what's the map, what the overlord saw P doing, etc

That's not exactly true.

You want to have one solid, standard build in each matchup that you use most of the time, and while it's true that there's no "best" build, the 5 hatch hydra is a strong option, and it's also easy to get VODS of progamers using it.

His question: "Should I be opening 5 hatch hydra in ZvP?" If he wants to, it's a great thing to go with.

Just imagine if Day was tired after his exams, and you hear slurred speech, and then just 10 minutes of complete silence, then another five of snoring, then a choke, and continuation of the lecture...

This is one of my more favourite ones, thanks!

I'm really looking forward to the 2hatch vs 3hatch ZvT one.

Awesome, awesome cast--gave me a lot to think about. I also really like that you make sure these are high quality, as it means that it's quite easy to listen to them several times and really absorb the ideas.
