The trick, I think, is being very careful with the zeals *and* getting the first cannon up before ling speed. But I'd have to actually analyze a bunch of games first and idk if there are enough out there to actually draw conclusions from.

Damn double-posted.

6 slow zealots isn't too much of a deal either.

Watch some other Hydra/Hydraling-allins.

He didn't even take down the damn gateway (and forge).

And 5 cannons is nothing to a full hydra (or hydraling) pump off 3 hatches

Free had a higher zealot count than normal from his opening, so Action had reason to be timid.

Although, at that point, you could argue going for that type of allin would be dumb after scouting the gate first, but it's possible he only prepared that build and had no contingency plan

I would rather have seen Light come out to be honest. I know his TvT isn't exactly stellar but a long TvT game could put more pressure on Flash's wrist and he has beat FLash on this map. Also Flash is just >>>>>> any zerg but JD recently and after losing 0-3 against Flash in the MSL final how intimidated is Zero going to be?

Well Woongjin picked up Really (still not fantastic but much better Terran than anything we had before except MVP on his one hot streak) and Light (hey, Woongjin has a real Terran now!), as well as Flying who... still sucks. So Stars did a little buying this season as well and it worked out. Fact of sports, really.

Its different when an already power house team buys players who every one think will become A-class (Action). Woongjin needs those players to even be in the competition. I was hoping that Really would go to Hwaseung...

Yeah it was quite odd that he didn't make any sort of attack when he had so many units gathered up.

I believe ZerO said he wanted revenge on Flash in the Khan interview
