Hydra doesn't have the ZvT lategame to compete with Fantasy mech in full swing (then again, other than Soulkey, who does?), but if he plays to his strengths with lots of early aggression and drags Fantasy out of his comfort zone, he should be able to just overpower him--Fantasy's early game hasn't looked remotely convincing for the past few months. On the other hand, Hydra's main weakness is that his ZvT isn't really "complete"; you don't get the sense from his games that he understands the matchup on a truly deep level like Jaedong does, so I feel like Fantasy's best course of action would be to keep Hydra guessing until his mech force is strong enough to force Hydra to commit to macro play. Either way, I think the games will be exciting, but I don't think the series will be close. Zero. | ||

I thought about that, but I couldn't recall any actual games between the two that came down to a lategame slugfest. The recent games that come to mind all involve Fantasy doing no-units or one-of-everything and just getting smashed by Zero in under ten minutes. Zero definitely does have really strong anti-mech play in general, though. | ||

Pathfinder is just an auto-loss for the Z unless the Terran does some drastically dumb. this is fantasy we're talking about though, he could go bio or something | ||
