Thats a pretty amazing build. I honestly don't know how i'd attempt to counter it, even blind. I would've thought that sair/reaver was the best chance. But the hydras are just so much to handle. I guess you need like 5 blind cannons in your main so you can save your probes and send the reavers out to harass. The super short drop distance makes it sooooo hard. the hydras pop and they're rigtht next to your main ready to be dropped.

If Jangbi wins, there will be a tiebreak between him, Calm and Baby right?

What were they thinking when they chose this map pool... did OGN not learn anything from PD Pop MSL

Hydra, I will forever hate you guts regardless of your damn eye condition.

OSL is doing it's best to make it full of Zergs again.

If only Stork has a few seconds break to use his shuttle + reaver to harass earlier...
It seems to be really difficult for a P to win on this map.
Hydra used a build similar to the one Modesty used to destroy Kal last OSL.

I'm not sure why the OSL is still using this horrible map.

Right ?

I mean... they always had some nice maps every season, and for some reason they are still using pathfinder 2 seasons in a row...

If only Stork had not been involved in that game. It was amazing play by Hydra, but I'm all pissed off now because Dinotoss was the victim of it.

If that was "amazing play," I shudder to think what adjectives you would have to bust out to describe 2010 Jaedong playing ZvP.

Map abuse by hydra, but I don't blame him. Stork's only mistakes were losing sairs and maybe losing reaver at end. But then Hydra was actively killing sairs when he dropped.

OGN is at fault here. Stork played pretty damn well.

I don't understand, Stork doesn't prepare for games at all? He couldn't even anticipate this and come up with a better build? Wait, he has been dying to Zergs with this build recently, does he even look into his previous games regarding why he lost?

Hydra really did play it perfectly strategically, except his micro was pretty bad. Was a pretty good game, even if the outcome was inevitable on the map with that strategy.
