The decision to power larva at the expense of tech knowing that being behind on tech mutalisks wouldn't matter at all since he was going to turtle for the late game was just genius. He never once focused on a straight up micro battle and instead just set up an unloseable scenario. I'd say Great set a trap and Hydra fell right into it, but the trap was every ZvZ from 2006 until now. yeah this makes a lot of sense, mutalisks cannot fight mutalisks over spore colonies unless they have a HUGE advantage, which hydra didn't. After all, great was only behind on gas just a little bit. It's a very calculated risk -- "how many more mutas will he get than me and at what timing?" -- but great's probably practiced how many lings/drones he can get before he needs to spore up. It's an interesting dynamic that you often see in zerg vs zerg on fastest map possible -- a zerg that goes mass hatches and spores in my experience beats the fewer-hatches-fewer-drones zerg every time. I've often been a little confused at the build-no-drones-only-mutas dynamic of pro zvz, great's hive play has made a lot of sense for a long time. | ||

on purpose maybe? once again he takes his drones off gas, ready to take his nat with his 3rd hatch but hydra is the one streaming out with the early lings but great's larvae will kick in soon? | ||
