Maybe, but I think Hydra has more confidence in his muta micro than anything else, and he might have been banking on killing or weakening Flash's push with mutaling, maybe even taking into account that Flash's micro might be worse since he hasn't been practicing as much lately. I think Flash would have scanned a fast den and then just mnm/tank pushed whatever base he wanted given that defilers would definitely not have been in time.
It was a decent game by Flash for sure but you really need a miracle or be much better than your opponent to come back from a build order disadvantage as a Zerg against a Terran.

I guarantee you 100% that would not have worked out well at all.
At that point Hydra was so behind all he could do was stall for lurkers. 4 lurker on the ramp may have saved his base. He could have sacrificed his mutas to get lurkers up. Again not fool-proof, but better chance than splitting his forces between his natural and third and getting stomped at both places.

But really, Hydra lost as soon as he did that 9pool.
When someone with 2000 posts still calls Flash turtle terran it's either pure ignorance or pure trolling. Either way it is completely unnecessary to include such a sentence in an otherwise potentially helpful opinion.
