When I compared Lux to FBH it was obviously an exaggeration since very few players can be worse than FBH in that matchup but you could kind of tell he doesn't really know how to templar snipe or storm dodge. Dude was losing mutalisks are hydralisks to storm like every second. oh come on...he was dodging storms pretty well with his hydras, more towards the end, maybe he could have done a little better but it wasnt as bad as u make it seem. the only thing (but i guess its huge) is losing 11 mutas to 1 storm...but its understandable, he went back to macro and left his mutas for 2 seconds.. | ||

Z v P all ins are effective like no all ins in any other matchup  They don't take an immense amount of skill(progamerwise) and can work as a safety net. So the worst a zerg can do vs a protoss is to turn the game into a gamble by going all in. | ||

Luxury started the whole rush-every-game ZvP that's focused on ending the game before the 4th hatch(and usually even lair) went up. The guy is the polar opposite of the 3-base 5-hatch play that's currently dominating ZvP. | ||

Taking 70 damage on all your hydras before getting them out of the storm isnt good dodging. It might look ok since not alot of them died but the few times he did dodge his units were so weak they died in one or two hits to zlots. | ||
