Excellent article; I enjoyed the insight. Thanks for the translation.

PS- The English idiom for "whirlpool in a cup of water" is "tempest in a teacup".

PPS- I wonder if this will stop Plexa from saying that Jaedong never innovates anything.


Thanks, fixed.

Very informative post! Nice. Could you add VODs to the particular examples too? That would make it better

I think what you mentioned about the zergling narrow timing window is too risky imo. I think Protoss will learn to adapt. I've also seen quite a few P's going goon-heavy earlier. Such an ironic play by P when Z goes ling heavy early on

Two vods that I can think of are:

OK, fine, I Googled it. Verdict: "tempest in a teapot" most common American version, "storm in a teacup" most common British version, various other combinations of ill weather and houseware, including, but not limited to "tempest in a teacup" and "storm in a teapot" also extant.

Thanks for the translation. Was effort the first to use this build? Because Luxury and Jaedong were using it in 50% of their ZvPs last season. To clarify, they went 3hat spire, then start pumping lings off 3hat while getting a 4th hat, vs this current trend of getting 5hat hydra. Savior also used this build vs Bisu on Neo Harmony and won.

Savior's build against Bisu was all-inish. His Zerglings weren't meant to pressure Protoss from taking a 3rd. It was a timing attack meant to do damage to his econ before Bisu's army materialized.

Thanks. Really informative translation. I liked the logic and reasoning behind it all. You could use bold or something to make different parts more distinguishable. Please translate more whenever you can.
