valkonic is really good against 3 hat before pool builds like this, as it allow syou to really abuse that timing window where Z is attempting to defend their third base with just muta, and the lurkers+tech are kind of late because of the 3 hat before pool. It also allows you to have comparatively few turrest. Iris is being a good boy, and gettin a bunker at the front of the nat just like any safe T player.

WE saw Flash use a similar valkonic build against Jaedong, especially in game 2, as Jaedong got his third run over after he failed to snipe the first few valks.

This particular Valk MnM pressure build is a Flash build.

muta doing okay damage, scourge get sniped while they're coming to help the muta. Not sure what soulkey is going to be able to do as he's already taken a lot of hits from the valks - his first group of valks is almost dead. it looks like soukey is ogin to be able to save himself from losing right here, but i doubt that he's going to be able to keep his third

It really is boxer/oov/fantasy, but Flash's version of it is all the rage now

I'm not sure it's particularly the flash build, as it's all a variation of the timing that nada/oov/fantasy used to do, and flash has the most current version. It certainly fits the most general term of valkonic, and the fantasy build was a thing of beauty.

soulkey is forced to basically go 2 hat lurk ling muta, as he gets ovies sniped by valks

edit: agree with megalisk, nada did 2 fact vult first in TvZ, whereas oov used to go 1 fact vult into expand iirc.
