^This. I'm no Z expert but it doesn't seem like it should take 19 mins to reach Ultra/defiler =/
Savior seemed to play so well... and yet his good macro never kicked in unit-wise. He just massed zerglings. Zerg has done so well with hydra/muta switches in ZvP lately, and so utterly terrible with lurkerling.
That was a decent game by Savior. Most P would probably have lost - that elevator was brilliant and won Kal the game. At that moment it was 4 base Zerg versus 2 base Protoss ... invincible 2006 Savior would have had his Scourge in place to block that elevator (he always did somehow) but that's a pretty unreasonable standard. He'll never be like that again.
I think Savior can be a decent player this season.

Sounds about right, he was really ahead at that point, however I think he could've done better later on if he had cows quicker or used defilers better.
BTW King_Cobrafighter (on zeroby) posted a link for that crazy music video:
To be honest, Savior just need some practice to get back. And yeah I agree with scourge on the elevator thing. He just need to re-polish himself. I am not giving up on him yet.

he was on 4/5 bases most of the time, should have had enough gas to build anything - but no, we only saw lings
